From Lincoln Speedway
Abbottstown, PA — May 11, 2013) — Brent Marks was the class of the field in
claiming the $4,000 top prize in Saturday’s Prospect Metal and Used Auto
Parts Night World of Outlaw tune-up at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night.
It was Marks’ third win of the year in the Pigeon Hills, and ended a perfect
night for the BAPS Auto Paints and Supply/Fredericksburg Eagle Hotel/KC
Automotive/Creekside Auto Sales #19M after winning his qualifying event for
the eighth week in a row.
The World of Outlaw format placed Marks on the outside of the front row for
the start, and he led every lap, despite late-race pressure from
eighth-starting Brian Montieth over the closing laps.
“For all the rain we’ve had, Fred (Putney) did an awesome job on this
track,” said Marks in victory lane, “That race was awesome. Kudos to
Lincoln for running tonight.”
The start of the show was delayed by 45 minutes after a series of rain
showers during the day, the last of which didn’t end until after 5:00 p.m.
“We needed this win really, really bad,” continued Marks, “We’ve been
struggling for a few weeks here, and falling from first to fourth in the
point standings was pretty depressing. The team behind me is awesome. We
went through some difficult times this week, made some changes, and I can’t
thank these guys enough.”
Polesitter Gerard McIntyre, Jr. chased Marks the first seven laps before
fourth-starting Stevie Smith grabbed second on lap eight.
“I thought Stevie was going to give me a good run there, but I knew the
bottom was still too slimy, and I learned my lesson there in the dash, when
I just spun my tires there.”
Marks and Smith pulled away from the field until McIntyre and third-starting
Logan Schuchart got together while racing for third on lap 15, resulting in
a Schuchart flip on turn two.
That put Montieth on the rear bumper of Smith for the restart. Marks opted
for the outside for the double-file restart, and Montieth drove around Smith
in the first two turns of the restart. Fifth-starting Greg Hodnett caught
Smith for third a lap later, and Marks, Montieth, and Hodnett ran first
through third the rest of the way.
Smith and seventh-starting Fred Rahmer completed the top five, with Alan
Krimes, Robbie Kendall, Steve Owings, Cory Haas, and Kyle Moody rounding out
the top ten.
It didn’t take Marks long to start looking toward Wednesday night’s Lincoln
showdown with the famous World of Outlaws.
“I know the track will be different, and I can’t go with the same set-up as
tonight, but we’ll adapt accordingly and, hopefully, give them a run for
their money.”
The other red flag of the event came on the opening lap, when defending
champ Danny Dietrich rolled onto his side in turn two. Dietrich was
uninjured, made repairs and returned, but dropped out several laps later
with front brake problems.
“410” Sprint heats were won by Kendall, Schuchart, and Marks, with Lance
Dewease setting a new 12-lap track record of 2:48.149 in the B-Main.
McIntyre won the Dash in a record-setting 6-lap time of 1 minute,
24.420-seconds. Fast time in time trials over the 26-car field was set by
Montieth, with a one-lap time of 13.408-seconds (100.686 MPH).
York’s Chase Dietz drove around both Mike Duncan, Jr. and Jeff Rohrbaugh to
grab the lead as the three were completing lap seven to score his first
career win in the 20-lap “358” sprint car feature.
Dietz, who will turn 16 next Friday (5/17), started fourth and steered clear
of a slowing outside front row starter Chandler Leiby on the first lap to
maintain fourth. He caught third-starting Mark Stickler on lap two and ran
third until blowing around both Duncan and Rohrbaugh at the same time.
Rohrbaugh passed Duncan for second on lap nine, and Austin Hogue came from
tenth starting spot to finish third. Ninth-starting Tim Wagaman and
11th-starting Niki Young completed the top five. Sixth through tenth were
Duncan, Tyler Ross, Mike Bittinger, Strickler, and 17th-starting Matt
Findley.
Heats for the 28 “358” sprinters were won by Young, Strickler, and Dietz,
with Scott Fisher winning the consolation.
Gettysburg’s Brian Wagaman picked up his second win in-a-row and third of
the year in the 20 lap Thundercar feature.
Outside frontrow starter Brian Diehl grabbed the lead at the outset and held
off polesitter Wayne Dutterer and sixth-starting Jamie Zentmyer.
Meanwhile Walls, was patiently working his way front from the back of the
field and got by Zentmyer for second place at the halfway mark.
One lap later Walls went to the outside of race-long leader Diehl and made
his winning pass. Walls led the rest of the way, and survived a one-lap dash
to the checkered for his 13th career win, tying him with Ron Shultz for 14th
on the all time Thundercar win list.
Lincoln swings back into action this coming Wednesday night (5/17) for the
first 2013 Northeast appearance of the World of Outlaws. Special gates
times for the mid-week program will be 2:00 p.m. for the pits and 4:00 p.m.
for general admission. Time trials get underway at 7:30 p.m.
