ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 4/17/2010 -Six races, six faces in victory lane so far this year at Lincoln Speedway.
And the sixth face is very familiar to sprint car fans in Central Pennsylvania.
Ten-time track champ Fred Rahmer came from sixth starting spot to claim his first Lincoln win of the year in the 25-lap “410” sprint car feature Saturday night.
For most of the race, it looked like Randy Baughman would claim his first feature win. Baughman started on the pole and led the first 19 laps. But on lap 20, sixth-starting Rahmer dove under Baughman for the race lead in turns three and four. The only caution flag of the event, however, came out for previous race winner Danny Dietrich, who came to a stop on the front stretch. That put Baughman back into the lead for the restart.
But Lincoln’s all-time winner make quick work of the Clay’s Service Center #3B on the restart, driving under Baughman for the top spot in turns one and two. From there, Fast Freddie drove away from the rest of the field, with Baughman holding on for second and third-starting Doug Dodson crossing third. Brent Marks and Doug Esh completed the top five.
“I was a little tight early, but we’ve been changing the car trying to get better,” said Rahmer in victory lane, “But the tires are so hard to try to get traction at all…you just gotta do what you gotta do.”
“Randy and Doug checked out early,” continued Rahmer, “Me and Alan Krimes were back there runnin’ and I’m like ‘We’re wasting our energy,’ and all of a sudden the car just come to me.”
Sixth through tenth were Aaron Ott, invader Tim Shaffer, Alan Krimes, Brad McClelland, and Daryn Pittman.
Heats for the 28 “410” Sprinters were won by Rahmer, Kyle Moody, and Marks, with Johnny Mackison Jr. winning the consolation.
Rain drops began to fall in victory lane, forcing Lincoln promoters to postpone the 358 sprint car and thundercar features.
The 358 sprint car feature will be made up as part of a triple-header program on Saturday, May 8th.
The thundercar feature will be made up as part of a triple-header program on Saturday, May 15th.
Heats for the 32 “358” Sprints were won by Adrian Shaffer, Jeff Rohrbaugh, Troy Becker, and Scott Geesey, with Brie Hershey winning the consolation.
Heats for the 14 Thundercars were won by Jamie Zentmyer and Danny Beard.
Next Saturday night, May 1st, at 7 PM, the All-Star Circuit of Champions invade the Pigeon Hills to take on the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 Sprinters. The Central PA Legends will round out the evening’s racing action with time trials getting underway at 7 PM. Gates will open at 5 PM and hot laps get underway around 6:30 PM.
