ABBOTTSTOWN, Pa. – Freddie Rahmer triumphed during the first 410 sprint car race of the season Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Speedway.
Rahmer, wheeling the No. 8 sprint car owned by Rich Eichelberger, was able to take the lead on lap 11 from Aaron Bollinger and held on to win the 30-lap Icebreaker feature at the Pennsylvania speedplant.
He had to survive a late restart with four laps left, eventually denying Brent Marks to pick up the $5,000 payday.
“I knew Marks was going to be tough because this is his kind of race track,” Rahmer said. “I saw his shadow on the restart, so I knew on the third one I needed to change it up.
“I knew if I could beat him through (turns) one and two, I knew he wasn’t going to beat me after that.”
Anthony Macri finished third, followed by Danny Dietrich and Jordan Givler.
The finish:
1. 8-Freddie Rahmer; 2. 19M-Brent Marks; 3. 39m-Anthony Macri; 4. 48-Danny Dietrich; 5. 90-Jordan Givler; 6. 16A-Aaron Bollinger; 7. 8-Billy Dietrich; 8. 71-Buddy Kofoid; 9. 67-Justin Whittall; 10. 5-Dylan Cisney; 11. 27-Devon Borden; 12. 99m-Kyle Moody; 13. 1x-Chad Trout; 14. 69-Tim Glatfelter; 15. 75-Tyler Ross; 16. 4R-Tim Wagaman; 17. 0-Rick Lafferty; 18. 44-Dylan Norris (DNF); 19. 13-Justin Peck (DNF); 20. 39-Chase Dietz (DNF); 21. 5E-Brandon Rahmer (DNF); 22. 11-TJ Stutts (DNF); 23. 11P-Niki Young (DNF); 24. 87-Alan Krimes (DNF)
