FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RAHMER SCORES FIRST LINCOLN SPEEDWAY WIN OF 2026 IN SATURDAY THRILLER; Fletcher Dominates 358 Sprint Car Season Opener at Lincoln Speedway

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA (March 14, 2026) – Freddie Rahmer made the pass for the lead after the halfway mark and held off a late challenge from Anthony Macri to score the 30-lap 410 Sprint Car feature victory Saturday at Lincoln Speedway.

The night began with Tyler Ross and Matt Campbell bringing the field to green, with Ross edging ahead of Campbell through turns one and two to claim the early lead. Ross quickly established control with Rahmer settling into second and Campbell, Troy Wagaman Jr., and Billy Dietrich rounding out the top five.

The first caution flew on lap two when Justin Whittall spun in turn four. On the restart, Ross maintained the lead while Wagaman slipped past Campbell for third. Meanwhile, two-time winner Chase Dietz—who started fifth—began working forward, racing past Danny Dietrich for sixth before muscling his way by Billy Dietrich for fifth.

As the leaders reached lapped traffic on lap nine, Ross continued to pace the field with Rahmer glued to his rear bumper. Dietz soon climbed to fourth, while Wagaman worked the bottom groove in pursuit of Rahmer for second.
The battle intensified as Dietz briefly challenged Wagaman for third and Danny Dietrich joined the mix, with Anthony Macri closing quickly to create a tight multi-car fight just outside the podium positions.
A caution on lap 15 for Billy Dietrich, who spun in turn four while running eighth, reset the field with Ross leading Rahmer, Dietz, Wagaman, and Danny Dietrich.

On the restart, Rahmer made his move. Sliding Ross for the lead, Rahmer completed the pass to take command of the race while Ross settled into second and Dietz and Wagaman continued their battle behind them. Macri soon entered the top five and wasted little time advancing, racing past Danny Dietrich and then Dietz.

With ten laps remaining, Rahmer began to stretch his advantage while Ross and Dietz fought over second. Macri closed rapidly and surged past Dietz for third before tracking down Ross. With four laps to go, Macri completed the pass for second and set his sights on Rahmer as lapped traffic again came into play.

The race took one final turn when Dietz spun in turn two while running third, setting up a two-lap shootout between Rahmer, Macri, Ross, Wagaman, and Campbell.

When the green flag returned, Rahmer nailed the restart and drove away over the final two circuits to secure the win, his first of the 2026 season at Lincoln Speedway.

Macri finished second, followed by Ross in third, Wagaman in fourth, and Campbell completing the top five.

Fletcher Dominates 358 Sprint Car Season Opener at Lincoln Speedway

Cody Fletcher led from the drop of the green flag and never looked back, scoring the victory in the season-opening 358 Sprint Car feature Saturday at Lincoln Speedway.

Cody Fletcher and Ashley Cappetta shared the front row for the start, with Fletcher jumping out to the early advantage as the field raced into turn one.
Behind him, Wyatt Hinkle quickly moved into second with Steve Owings settling into third. Cappetta ran fourth early while holding off pressure from Jayden Wolf. Wolf soon slipped by Cappetta for the position, with Brayden Mickley following through as Cappetta was shuffled back to sixth.

At the front of the field, Hinkle stayed within striking distance of Fletcher as the leaders began to separate from the pack. The race was slowed on lap three with a red flag when Adin Daniels and Brian Razum tangled in turn two, leaving Razum on his side. Both drivers were able to climb from their cars.
The restart lineup featured Fletcher, Hinkle, Owings, Wolf, and Mickley, but the caution flew immediately as Hinkle, Owings, Wolf, and Mickley became involved in an incident in turns one and two.

With several cars forced to restart at the rear or head to the pits, the new top five lined up with Fletcher leading Cappetta, Steve Wilbur, Matt Findley, and Eli Tuckey. On the restart, Findley made a strong move to climb into third while Fletcher began to stretch his lead over the field.

Meanwhile, Hinkle worked his way back through the field after the earlier incident as the race reached lapped traffic on lap 13. Fletcher navigated through the slower cars with ease, maintaining a comfortable advantage.
Another caution flew on lap 13 when Daniels made contact with the guardrail in turn four, bunching the field back up behind Fletcher.

The closing laps featured multiple restart attempts as Hinkle stopped in turn two and Wolf later spun in the same corner. When the race finally returned to green for an extended run, Fletcher once again pulled away from the field.
With five laps remaining, Fletcher was firmly in command and cruised to the victory to open the 358 Sprint Car season at Lincoln Speedway.

Cappetta turned in a strong run to finish second, followed by Findley in third, Wilbur in fourth, and Tuckey rounding out the top five.
