Abbottstown, PA (September 3, 2023) – Brent Marks and Danny Dietrich treated the crowd at Lincoln to an epic finish of the Dirt Classic X on Sunday night. With lapped traffic in play, Dietrich tracked down Marks and made a last lap, last corner slide job for the lead that was hindered by some contact with the wall coming out of turn 4. In the end, Marks took the checkered flag after 40 laps just a mere .036 seconds ahead of Dietrich to claim his second Dirt Classic victory, “That was really exciting,” Marks recalled in victory lane after climbing down from his wing dance. With his win Marks took home the $20,000 prize and the honors of being the first back-to-back Dirt Classic champion. Marks joined Stevie Smith and Brian Montieth as two-time Dirt Classic champions with the victory.
Marks earned a guaranteed spot in Sunday’s dash with a second place finish in the “Kick-off to the Classic” on Saturday, “I got tangled up in the dash and had to come from further back than we had hoped.” Despite the hiccup in the dash, Marks marched his way to the front of the field, “The car was just stellar and fun to drive. It was great on long green flag runs.”
Troy Wagaman took the lead when the green flag waved with Freddie Rahmer in second. Wagaman led lap 1 as Brent Marks and Anthony Macri battled for third with Marci holding the spot. The two continued to race side-by-side with Marks taking over third on lap 2. Macri battled back and reclaimed it on lap 3.
Justin Peck, Lance Dewease, Dylan Norris and Tanner Thorson were all vying for fifth. Peck had the spot when he spun in turn 2 on lap 7. Norris had nowhere to go and rolled over after making contact with Peck, bringing out the red.
Wagaman led Freddie, Macri, Marks and Dewease to the cone for the single-file restart. Wagaman went high into turn 1 and kept the lead. Rahmer went low trying to catch Troy, but could not make the pass. Macri was working on Rahmer for second. Thorson got by Dewease for fifth leaving Lance to fend off a challenge from Danny Dietrich for the spot. Thorson was all over Marks for fourth.
Rahmer closed in on Wagaman as lapped traffic came into play. Macri reeled in both the leaders and the top three battled for the lead. Macri got by Rahmer as they raced down the back stretch. Marks blew by Macri and Rahmer for second. Rahmer tried to slide Macri in turns 1 and 2 to reclaim third but the two made contact bringing out the caution on lap 19. Thorson and Michael Millard were also collected in the incident. Three of the four drivers had been running inside the top five. Both Rahmer and Macri rejoined the field.
Wagaman, Marks, Dietrich, Cory Eliason and Dewease were the new top five for the restart.
Marks had a great run off of turn 2 for the lead and took the top spot. Wagaman stuck around to try and battle back to the front. Dietrich used the high line to reel in Wagaman as Dewease was working on Eliason for fourth. Dietrich got under Wagaman at the flag stand but Wagaman held the spot coming out of turn 2. Eliason tried a slider on Danny which left the door open for Dewease to move into fourth.
Dewease, Eliason and Chase Dietz battled for fourth with Eliason claiming the spot. Dewease and Dietz continued to race for fifth.
Marks got to his first lapped car on lap 29 with a 2.8 second lead. Danny had reeled Troy in again to challenge for second with 10 laps to go. Dietrich got by Wagaman for second on lap 32. Danny started to close in on Marks with five laps to go. Just when you thought Danny had run out of time, Marks had heavy lapped traffic in front of him as the white flag waved. Dietrich caught Marks and threw a haymaker slider in turn 4 and had the advantage, but made contact with the wall allowing Marks to sneak by for the win.
Brent got to the checkered flag for the $20,000 prize just .036 seconds ahead of Danny. Wagaman finished third and Eliason was fourth. After having to restart at the rear earlier in the race, Peck drove back through the field for a solid fifth place finish.
Sam Rial Victorious in Extreme Stock Feature
Just two laps into the Extreme Stock feature, Will Long spun in turn 1 bringing out the caution. Hunter Fulton, Jason Townsend, Sam Rial, Bob Scott and Les Scrivens were the top five for the restart. Townsend got his nose under Fulton for the lead but could not make the pass. Rial then got to the outside of Townsend and the two raced side-by-side for second with Rial taking the spot on lap 3.
Fulton was holding off Rial and Townsend was holding off Scott for position. Rial went to the outside of Fulton in turns 1 and 2 but could not make the pass. Scott raced door to door with Towsend and took third on lap 5. Michael Goodwin entered the top five.
Rial was putting the heat on Fulton for the lead when the caution came out on lap 9 when Blake Decker stopped on the front stretch.
Fulton led Rial, Scott, Townsend and Goodwin on the restart. Rial looked to the outside of Fulton and took the lead coming out of turn 4. Towsend was working on Scott to regain third. Lap 15 saw the yellow flag wave when Scott Sipe fell off the pace. The caution would come out with 1 lap to go when Scrivens got into the wall in turn 2.
The top five for the restart were Rial, Fulton, Scott, Townsend and Goodwin. Goodwin spun in turn 4 on the restart, bringing out one last caution for the night.
The new top five were Rial, Fulton, Scott, Townsend and Tyler Knaub and that would be how they would cross the line.
