Freddie Rahmer Wins Thrilling Fallen Firefighters Night "Guise-Little Memorial
 
Abbottstown, PA (May 17, 2025) – Freddie Rahmer captured a thrilling victory on Fallen Firefighters Night at Lincoln Speedway, narrowly fending off a hard-charging Chase Dietz to claim the $6,000 prize in the 36-lap Guise-Little Memorial on Saturday night.
 
Rahmer jumped to the early lead from the pole, with Aaron Bollinger, Kyle Moody, and Matt Campbell slotting into the top four as the field raced into turn one. Campbell and Ashton Torgerson engaged in an early battle for fourth, trading slide jobs before Torgerson secured the position with a turn two slider on lap four, just before a caution for a stopped Tyler Esh brought the action to a halt.
 
On the restart, Campbell wasted no time reclaiming fourth from Torgerson with a slider in turn two on lap six, while Tyler Ross and Troy Wagaman battled for sixth behind them. Meanwhile, Rahmer began to stretch his lead as he approached lapped traffic by lap 12, with Campbell quickly catching and overtaking Moody for third.
 
Campbell then set his sights on Bollinger for second, closing the gap in traffic until a lapped car allowed Bollinger to pull away briefly. Just as Bollinger had closed in on Rahmer for the lead, a lap 21 caution for a spun Brandon Rahmer in turn two tightened the field for a critical restart.
 
Rahmer protected the low line into turn one, but Campbell pounced, sliding under Bollinger for second. Dietz, who had been methodically picking his way through the field from his 13th starting spot, cracked the top five on the restart and surged past both Moody and Bollinger to move into third by lap 30, just before a caution for Joey Amantea reset the field for a final six-lap dash.
 
Dietz wasted no time, quickly getting by Campbell and setting his sights on Rahmer. The two raced wheel-to-wheel as the laps wound down, with Dietz nosing into the lead with three to go. However, Rahmer fought back, reclaiming the point as they came to the white flag. With Campbell rejoining the fight, the top three raced under a blanket, thrilling the fans.
 
Rahmer held on for the win by a razor-thin .045 seconds over Dietz, with Campbell completing the podium in an exciting finish.
 
Norris Powers to Second 358 Sprint Car Victory of the Season
 
Dylan Norris powered his way to a commanding victory in the 20-lap, $1,500-to-win 358 sprint car feature at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday night, charging through the field to take the checkered flag for the second time this season.
 
The race got off to a rough start, with a multi-car pileup in turn 2 involving the Steve Owings, Tylar Rutherford, Wyatt Hinkle, Matt Findley, Cody Fletcher, Seth Schnoke, and Austin Reed, prompting a complete restart. On the second attempt, pole-sitter Ayden Hare took the early advantage, leading the field into turn one as Cameron Merriman and Ashley Cappetta battled for third.
 
Merriman quickly moved into second, slipping by Bo Gordon and then closing in on Hare for the lead. By lap four, Merriman made his move, taking command of the race. Meanwhile, Norris, running the high line, powered his way to third by lap five as he continued his charge to the front.
 
A lap 7 caution for Tylar Rutherford, who came to a stop facing the wrong way in turn one, re-racked the field for the first of several restarts. On the ensuing green, Norris wasted no time, sliding under Hare in turn three to take second and set his sights on the leader.
 
Cautions on laps 9 and 10 for Cody Fletcher and Tyler Ulrich, respectively, kept the field tight, giving Norris the opportunity he needed. On lap 11, Norris executed a bold slider on Merriman in turn three to take the lead, completing his impressive drive from 9th to the front of the field.
 
Merriman stayed close, hoping for a late-race opportunity, but lapped traffic never came into play, allowing Norris to cross the line first and take the win.
 
Next Saturday, May 24, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with the 410 Sprints and Flying Iron Limited Stocks. Racing is scheduled for 7PM with pit gates opening at 4:30PM and grandstand gates opening at 5PM.
