Freddie Rahmer, Brent Marks, Logan Wagner earn 410 sprint wins in central Pa. on Saturday

Freddie Rahmer raced to his fourth Lincoln Speedway 410 sprint win of the season on Saturday evening. 

Rahmer’s 18th career win at the Adams County track was worth $5,000.

York’s Chase Dietz raced into the early lead in the 30-lap contest, using his pole starting position to outgun his uncle, York’s Cory Haas, at the start. Rahmer, who started third, quickly moved to second and began hounding Dietz for the lead. 

It wasn’t until the 13th lap that Rahmer was able to overtake the leader. That's when Dietz brushed the wall exiting the fourth turn and suffered a flat right rear tire. Rahmer, the Lincoln point leader, led the rest of the way to best Haas for the win, with New Freedom’s Robbie Kendall in third. Brandon Rahmer and Lewisberry’s Kyle Moody completed the top five. 

Rounding out the top 10 were Hanover’s Troy Wagaman Jr., Tyler Ross, Billy Dietrich, Fawn Grove’s Matt Campbell and Mark Smith.

West York’s Jeff Rohrbaugh raced to his third win of the season in the 20-lap 358 sprint feature. Rohrbaugh took the lead from Zachary Cool on the fourth lap and stayed just in front of an intense three-car battle for second.

In the end, Cool retained second, with Steve Owings and Zane Rudisill next in line.  Ashley Cappetta completed the top five. Rounding out the top 10 were Tyler Esh, York’s C.J. Tracy, Shiloh’s Landon Myers, Cody Fletcher and Hanover’s Kody Hartlaub.
