ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 6/7/08 - "This is one of the best days of my life!"

Hanover’s Cris Eash had not won a 410 sprint feature since September 25^th, 2004. Retiring shortly after his last win, Eash announced his retirement to spend more time with wife Amy and the kids. He spent a couple years watching weekly from the grandstands, and eventually returned to his other love - racing.

Saturday night, the former World of Outlaw Rookie of the Year completed the comeback by winning not one, but two features in the same night.

"I have goose bumps right now like it’s my very first race I ever won," said a visibly emotional Eash after scoring Lincoln career win #39 in the remainder of the May 17^th show which started the night, "My brother Darren is one heck-of-a mechanic. Sorry my Dad’s not here tonight...he’s in Europe. We came back to have fun doing this deal, and it’s so much more fun with my family."

Eash lined up third with six laps completed, inherited the lead when race leader Cory Haas spun while trying to hold off the E&G Classics #17E on turn four of lap 14, then led the rest of the way to take the checkered .78 seconds ahead of Alan Krimes. Eash became the 8^th different Lincoln winner of 2008.

Nick Schlauch, Jr., who graduated earlier in the week from Archbishop Wood High School, crossed third, with Josh Wells and Michael Carber completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were Adam Lawrence, Aaron Ott, Niki Young, Chad Jumper, and Bobby Howard.

Career win number 40 came a few hours later, when Eash again took the lead on lap 14 and held off the late-race charges of high-flying "The Edge" Brian Montieth.

"He’s pretty crazy, and he likes to run that wall," said Eash on Montieth’s last lap charge for the lead. "There is really nobody around here that does it better than him...we were just lucky to hold on."

Eash’s final margin of victory was .66 seconds, down significantly from the 5-second lead he enjoyed as he reached lapped traffic with two laps to go. Montieth was featured driver of the night, in a car sponsored by race-night sponsors Premier Auto Works and Auto Locator.

Montieth came up just short of his feat from last year, when he won on his sponsors’ night.

"We’ve been pretty good here of late, but we’ve just had some bad luck," said Eash after his second win of the night, "Things just went our way tonight...I don’t know what to say."

"When Cody (Darrah) did it (two wins in one night) a few weeks ago, I said ‘Nobody will ever do that again.’ But I guess I was wrong."

Third through fifth were Michael Carber, Niki Young, and Chad Layton. Rounding out the top ten were Alan Krimes, Brian Leppo, Jim Siegel, Nick Schlauch, Jr., and Cory Haas.

Heats for the 24 "410" sprints were won by Alan Krimes, Cris Eash and Cory Haas.

Instead of paying contingency awards to the competitors, race-night sponsor Jerry Parrish donated $500 to recovering super sportsman driver Steve Wilbur, who attend the night’s racing program as special guest of Parrish and Lincoln.

Dave Ely started second and led wire-to-wire in the 25-lap United Racing Company sprint car feature. Ely crossed .48 seconds ahead of Trevor Lewis for his first win since the URC opener at Bridgeport Speedway and his 10^th career URC win. Lewis came in from his new home in Colorado to race for the weekend, and scored his second straight top five finish.

Third through fifth were polesitter Justin Collett, URC points leader Curt Michael, and Brian Seidel.

Heats for the 37 URC sprints were won by Collett, Ely, Seidel and Lewis, with Chad Layton winning the B-Main.

Next Saturday night, June 14th at 7:30 PM, the All-Star Circuit of Champions invades Lincoln Speedway to take on the PA Posse. Also on the card will be thundercars, which will run a regular program plus a make-up feature from April 26^th. Gates will open at 5:30, with time trials scheduled for 7:30 PM.
