Abbottstown, PA (July 13, 2024) – Aaron Bollinger rolled the bottom of the 3/8-mile oval on Saturday night to score his second career 410 victory. Saturday’s win came 1,134 days after his first triumph which was on June 5, 2021 at Lincoln Speedway. The Fallen Firefighters / “Guise-Little Memorial” paid $6,000 to win along with high payouts throughout the field and additional bonus money.
Pole-sitter Kody Hartlaub paced the field along side Chad Trout for the start of the 36-lap feature. Hartlaub and Trout battled into turn 1 with Hartlaub coming out with the lead. Freddie Rahmer made his way from sixth to third, getting a solid start. Rahmer was closing in on Trout and pulled a slider in turns 1 and 2 and took second on lap 6. Matt Campbell got by Trout on the next lap to take third. Rahmer reeled in Hartlaub as they closed in on the tail end of the field. Rahmer took the lead from Hartlaub at the line on lap 8 with lapped traffic coming into play right away. Campbell wasn’t far behind and took second from Kody.
Devon Borden sat sideways in turn 2 bringing out the caution on lap 9. Rahmer led Campbell, Hartlaub, Trout and Troy Wagaman on the restart. Rahmer had a solid restart as Hartlaub, Trout and Wagaman battled for position. Wagaman was on the move and got by Trout and Hartlaub to get into third. That left Hartlaub and Trout to fend off Aaron Bollinger.
After another caution, Rahmer got another good restart and Bollinger moved into fourth after getting by both Trout and Hartlaub coming off turn 2. As Wagaman and Campbell battled for second the yellow came out again for Michael Millard who sat in the bottom of turns 3 and 4.
Wagaman looked to the bottom to get under Campbell on the restart but did not make the pass. Bollinger was right there to challenge Wagaman for third. Wagaman moved down to block Bollinger’s line.
Rahmer caught lapped traffic on lap 23 which helped Campbell reel in Rahmer. Campbell got into the back of a slower car but still held on to second. The caution came out for the slower car of Travis Scott. This time Campbell got a better restart and the bottom was working for him as Rahmer stuck to the top. Bollinger also found the bottom and was reeling in both of the leaders. Rahmer was able to keep his momentum going around the top but Campbell was working the bottom and the two were wheel to wheel for the lead coming out turn 2 when the caution came out on lap 31, putting a halt to an epic battle.
Rahmer, Campbell, Bollinger, Wagaman and Hartlaub were the top five for the restart with five laps to go. Rahmer went to the bottom on the restart to block Campbell. Bollinger got under Campbell for second and was on Rahmer’s tail as the laps wound down. Bollinger took the lead with two laps to go.
