Abbottstown, PA (March 30, 2019) â€“ Freddie Rahmer got the monkey off his back Saturday night
at Lincoln Speedway, with his first win of the 2019 season.

Joe Kata started on the
pole with Cole Young on the outside of row 1. Glenndon Forsythe and Tyler Esh
made up row two. Kata got a good start and had the lead with Forsythe up to
second when the caution came out on lap 1. Esh got sideways in turn 1 and
collected Jim Siegel. Todd Gracey, who was running his 360 Sprint Car, pulled
into the pits under the caution ending his night. Both Esh and Siegel pulled in
parallel to their pit stalls indicating they wanted to utilize the two-minute
work period. Siegel ended up pulling into his pit as there was too much damage
to the No. 59. Esh was able to rejoin the field.

Rahmer was up to 4th
from his 6th starting spot on the restart. Last week’s feature
winner, Alan Krimes, started 9th and had made his way to 6th
for the restart.

After the restart,
Rahmer made his way up to 3rd on lap 2. Kyle Moody started working
his way through the field from his 12th starting spot and was up to
9th in two laps. Kata started to pull away from the field as Rahmer
made his way up to second on lap 4.

Kata had a lead of over
2 seconds by lap 6. Rahmer started to close the gap to Kata as they approached
lapped traffic on lap 8. Rahmer had Kata’s lead down to .6 seconds and got
under Kata in turns 3 and 4 on lap 11 but couldn’t complete the pass. Freddie
stuck around and got by Joe for the lead coming out of turn 2 on the next lap.

It didn’t take long for
Rahmer to pull away from the rest of the field. It took Freddie one lap to put
2 seconds between him and second place.

The second caution of
the race came on lap 15 for Brian Montieth and Brett Michalski in turn 4.
Montieth had been running 5th and had made it a 4-car battle for second
with Kata, Forsythe and Adam Wilt. Both Montieth and Michalski were able to
rejoin the field.

The restart with 10 laps
to go erased Rahmer’s lead of 2.7 seconds over the field.

Rahmer got a great start
at the cone. Lap 17 saw a lot of action as Wilt got around Forsythe for third
and Moody had worked his way up to seventh.

As Wilt caught Kata a
great battle for second ensued. While the battle for second was heating up, the
battle for fourth, between Forsythe and Tim Glatfelter was just as exciting.

Wilt got around Kata for
second on lap 22. Forsythe and Glatfelter were right there to make it a
three-way battel for 3rd with Kata. Glatfelter eventually came out
of the pack with third place with two laps to go.

Rahmer got to the
checkered flag first for the win with Wilt crossing the line second. Glatfelter
held onto third. Moody made his way up to fourth and Forsythe held onto fifth.

Two drivers traveled to
the track to compete on Saturday. Cody Bova made the trip from Struthers, Ohio
and Plano, Texas driver, T.J. Michael also joined the competition.

410 Sprint Car heat
winners were Jim Siegel, Cole Young and Glenndon Forsythe.

Jeff Halligan Goes Wire to
Wire for the 358 Feature Win

After a DNF in last week’s feature, Jeff Halligan turned it around and
ended the night in Victory Lane. Halligan started on the pole of Saturday Night’s
feature with Ashley Cappetta sharing the front row. CJ Tracy and Tyler Walton
made up row 2.

Halligan got out to the lead at the start with Chris Frank getting up to
second from his fifth starting spot. The caution came out before a lap was
completed for Kyle Denmyer who spun out in turns 1 and 2. Denmyer was able to
rejoin the field.

Jeff got another good start on the complete restart. Cappetta held onto
second with Walton third. Kevin Nouse got up to fourth from his seventh
starting spot.

Cappetta and Walton drag raced down the back stretch for second on lap 2
with Walton taking the position from Cappetta.

The caution came out again on lap 3. This time it was for Mike Bittinger
and Cody Fletcher in turn 3. Bittinger was on his side and nearly flipped his
car but in an impressive act he was able to drive away from the incident. After
the remarkable move, Bittinger pulled into the pits and was done for the night.
Fletcher rejoined the field.

Walton stayed with Halligan on the restart after they passed the cone.
Nouse was all over Cappetta for third and got under her in turns 1 and 2 for
the spot but the caution came out. Last week’s winner, Troy Wagaman Jr., found
himself in need of a tow back to the pits from the front stretch.

Halligan went to the top of turns 1 and 2 on the restart with Walton
trying the bottom. Halligan held off Walton and kept the lead.

Nouse was working on Cappetta for third while Tyler Ross made his way up
to fifth.

David Holbrook spun out in turn 2 to bring out the caution on lap 8. Holbrook
rejoined the field.

Nouse got under Cappetta on the restart in turn 1 but Ashley got the spot
back coming out of turn 2. The caution flag came out on lap 10 for Zach
Euculano as he came to a stop along the inside guardrail in turn 3.

Halligan had a good start and but some distance between Walton. Nouse was
not able to get a good run on Cappetta on the restart.

Jeff started to pull away from the rest of the field and had a 1.7 second
lead on lap 13 when the caution came out for Holbrook who spun out in turns 3
and 4. Holbrook rejoined the field. The caution flag came out for the final
time on the ensuing restart for Frank when he came to a stop in turns 1 and 2.

Ross got his nose under Nouse for fourth but couldn’t make it stick.
Halligan garnered a nearly 2 second lead with 4 laps to go and never looked
back. Walton held onto second with Cappetta crossing the line third. Nouse
finished fourth with Ross completing the top five.

358 Sprint heats were won by Ashley Cappetta, Kevin Nouse and Todd
Rittenhouse.
