Abbottstown, PA (August 12, 2023) – Freddie Rahmer continued his recent win streak at the track, winning his fourth feature in a row and his eleventh of the season, on Saturday night. After driving from fourteenth to the win last week, Rahmer charged to the front from his ninth place starting spot Saturday.
Pole-sitter, Kyle Spence, took the lead ahead of JJ Loss when the green flag dropped. Kody Hartlaub was up to third from his fifth place starting spot on the back stretch with Loss settling into second. Freddie Rahmer was up to fifth from ninth in just two laps.
Kyle Moody challenged Rahmer for fifth, but Freddie had his eyes set on Tyler Esh in fourth. Rahmer went to work on Esh for fourth and took the spot on lap 7.
As Freddie was reeling in Hartlaub, Loss pulled into the infield as he was running second moving Hartlaub into second and Rahmer into third.
As Spence worked his way through lapped traffic Hartlaub started reeling him in, getting Spence’s lead down to just .321 seconds at the half-way point. Spence, Hartlaub and Rahmer were in a fierce three-car battle for the lead with Hartlaub taking the top spot leaving Spence and Rahmer to drag race for second. Rahmer had the runner-up spot by a nose at the line on lap 17.
Hartlaub went low into turn 1 to block Rahmer’s line and the two made contact, with Rahmer taking the lead out of turn 2.
Moody got by Esh for fourth on lap 18. Hartlaub was closing in on Rahmer as they worked through lapped traffic but Rahmer put lapped cars between him and Hartlaub as the laps wound down.
Rahmer scored his 11th win of the season 3.5 seconds ahead of Hartlaub. Spence crossed the line third and Moody was fourth. Esh completed the top five.
It is worth noting that Hartlaub and Spence both have 358 sprint car division wins at Lincoln this season.
Dave Brown Wins Exciting 305 Sprint Feature
After qualifying was completed on Saturday night, the 41-car field of 305 sprints was whittled down to 24 cars for the 20-lap feature. Larry McVay was at the helm with Owen Dimm lined up to his outside. McVay took the lead when the green flag waved with Dave Brown and Dimm racing wheel to wheel for second. Brown had the advantage and took second at the line. Zach Rhodes was running fourth and looked to the inside of Dimm for third but could not make the pass.
Dimm was reeling in Brown to challenge for second when the red flag came out on lap 4. Ken Duke, Nolan Grove and Kenny Heffner got together on the front stretch with Grove taking a wild ride.
McVay got a solid jump on the restart but Doug Dodson flipped in turn 3 bringing out the red flag yet again.
The top five for the restart were McVay, Brown, Dimm, Rhodes and Kruz Kepner.
Brown took the lead on the restart by half a car at the line with McVay staying within striking distance. Logan Spahr got by Kepner for a spot inside the top five.

Dimm moved into second with a pass coming out of turn 4. Owen used the high side of the track to close in on Brown and took the lead with four laps to go. With lapped traffic in play Brown pulled a slider with two laps to go but could not make the pass. With the white flag waving, Brown was able to take the lead from Dimm and held on for the win.
Brown got to the checkered flag just .746 seconds ahead of Dimm. McVay crossed the line third and Rhodes was fourth. Spahr got by Kepner yet again to finish fifth.

Dellinger went to the high side to work on John for second and took the spot on lap 3.
The yellow flag flew on lap 4 when Timmy Barrick spun in turn 2 and collected Drew Sullivan and Jamie Rickert.
