As early racing goes, Sunday was another good one as Saturday was canceled due to the weather.

Defending track champion Freddie Rahmer started on the pole alongside Kyle Moody with last week’s winner Chase Dietz lining up third. Rahmer led the field into Turn 1 at the drop of the green flag while Dietz quickly challenged Kyle Moody for second, taking the spot on lap one.

Rahmer had reached lapped traffic by the 10th lap allowing Dietz to close the gap quickly. The lead shrank as the two frontrunners navigated slower cars and Dietz repeatedly pressured Rahmer through traffic.

Rahmer caught a break with a lapped car between himself and Dietz, but on lap 19 a caution for Lance Dewease, who slowed on the track, erased Rahmer’s advantage. Dylan Norris also pulled to the pit area during the caution. With 11 laps remaining, the restart lineup featured Rahmer, Dietz, Moody, Brock Zearfoss and Danny Dietrich.

Dietz made his move in Turns 1 and 2 and set up a slider in Turns 3 and 4 to take the lead from Rahmer. A caution quickly followed on lap 20 when Aaron Bollinger stopped after smoke appeared from his car. Dietz was in charge and Moody was now in second, Zearfoss soon followed to claim third. Danny Dietrich continued his charge late in the race, pressuring Rahmer for fourth in the final laps.

At the checkered flag, it was Dietz capturing his second straight victory to open the season at Lincoln Speedway, adding another $6,000 payday to his early-season success.

After the checkered Danny Dietrich and Steven Snyder Jr. both found themselves upside down in Turn 4, bringing out the red, but the race had been scored as completed

On Saturday, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with the 410 sprints and 358 sprints. Racing is scheduled for 4 p.m. with pit gates opening at 1:30 p.m.
