ABBOTTSTOWN, Pa. — Justin Peck picked up his eighth Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 victory of the season and his fourth since Aug. 19, winning Saturday night’s Kramer Klash at Lincoln Speedway.
Peck dominated the third annual event that celebrates the life and achievements of National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Kramer Williamson — for a $7,300 payday.
Peck, ace of the Buch Motorsports/Coastal Race Parts No. 13 super sprinter, started from the pole position and led all 35 circuits on Saturday night, fending off periods of heavy traffic and a late challenge from Freddie Rahmer to secure his place in victory lane.
Rahmer’s challenge, following a lap-24 restart, was in the form of a slider through turns one and two. The Lincoln Speedway points leader actually cleared Peck through the corner, but Peck returned the favor the very next turn.
From that point forward, Peck checked out, racing off to a commanding lead before clinching all bragging rights. Rahmer held on to finish second, followed by Gio Scelzi, Danny Dietrich and Tyler Courtney.
To make the occasion even more special for Justin Peck and Buch Motorsports, Kurt Williamson, Kramer’s son, is a crew member for the familiar black and yellow no. 13.
“This is really cool. It’s a shame we couldn’t have parked it last year when we had Kramer’s No. 73 out,” Peck said. “It’s extra special to win this with Kurt working on the car, and to have Kramer’s helmet on is pretty darn cool, too. Just a great night all around. Hats off to the track crew for giving us such an awesome surface to race on. And hats off to all of the fans for coming out and supporting this race. Pennsylvania fans are the best.”
