Abbottstown, PA (March 23, 2019) â€“ After being shut out of victory lane for over two years Alan
Krimes said it felt like forever since he’d been there. Krimes found himself in
victory lane for the first time since September 3, 2016 on Saturday night.
Krimes shared the front row with pole-sitter, Cole Young. Krimes got out in
front of Young when the green flag dropped with Tim Glatfelter right behind him
taking over the second position.

Brian Montieth was up to
fourth from his sixth starting spot and started to work on Young for third.

Krimes started to pull
away from the field and when the caution flag came out on lap 7 for Trey Hivner
in turns 3 and 4 it erased Krimes’ 2.6 second lead.

Brandon Rahmer flipped
on the back stretch on the restart bringing out the red flag.

Glatfelter tried the bottom
in turns 1 and 2, but Krimes held onto the lead on the restart. Krimes had
amassed a 1.4 second in only two laps.

Montieth moved into third
after Young pulled into the infield on lap 9.

Krimes had a 2 second
lead as he caught the tail-end of the field on lap 15. The caution came out on
lap 19 for Danny Dietrich and Chase Dietz in turn 4. Dietz was able to rejoin
the field, but last week’s winner, Dietrich, headed back to the pits, ending his
night.

The late caution played to
Krimes’ advantage as he was approaching a lapped car that was running his line around
the track when the caution came out. If Krimes struggled to get around the
lapped car it would have given Glatfelter the opportunity to reel him.

Glatfelter once again
tried the bottom of turns 1 and 2 on the restart and once again Krimes held
onto the lead by running the top of the track.

The caution came out one
last time on lap 23 for Freddie Rahmer as he stopped in turn 2 with a flat
tire. Rahmer had been running sixth.

Krimes held off
Glatfelter one last time on the final restart to earn his 19th win
at Lincoln. Glatfelter was second with Montieth holding onto third. Adam Wilt
finished fourth and Chad Trout completed the top five.

410 Sprint Car heat
winners were Glenndon Forsythe and Alan Krimes.

Troy Wagaman Backs Up
2018 Championship with 358 Season Opener Win

Fresh off his 2018 track championship, Troy Wagaman found himself in
victory lane for the 358 season opener. Wagaman started on the front row with
pole-sitter Cody Fletcher.

Third-place starter, Kevin Nouse, got a good jump on the start and made a
move for the lead, but Wagaman held on to pace the field until the caution came
out before the first lap could be completed. Zach Euculano, Zachary Allman and
Austin Treuchet got together in turns 1 and 2 bringing out the caution.

Mark Van Vorst pulled in during the caution with no brakes. Allman
rejoined the field after changing his flat tire within the allotted two
minutes.

Wagaman got out to the lead again on the complete restart when the red
flag came out for an incident in turn 2. Dalton Dietrich, David Holbrook, Zach
Euculano and Jeff Halligan were involved with Halligan landing on the side of
this car.

Holbrook, Dietrich and Van Vorst rejoined the field for the restart.

Nouse got under Fletcher in turn 1 to take second on the restart with
Wagaman holding on the lead.

The second red flag of the race came on lap 1 for Holbrook, Allman and
Treuchet. This time it was Holbrook who ended up on his side.

Treuchet, Allman and Holbrook rejoined the field for the single-file
restart.

Wagaman and Nouse both went to the top of the track in turns 1 and 2 on
the restart. Wagaman had checked out from the rest of the field and had a 1.6
second lead when the caution came out on lap 4 for Treuchet who came to a stop
in turn 2.

Wagaman and Nouse went high again on the restart with Fletcher trying the
bottom. Troy and Kevin pulled away from the field as Cody and Tyler Ross
battled for third. Once Ross got by Fletcher for third on lap 9, he started to
reel in Nouse. Meanwhile Nouse was closing the gap between him and Wagaman. Wagaman
put a lapped car between him and Nouse with 2 laps to go which one would think
sealed the deal for Troy.

The caution came out with one lap to go for Holbrook as he hit the wall
in turns 1 and 2 setting up the field for a one lap shoot out. Nouse tried the
bottom in turns 1 and 2 on the restart before the red flag came out one last time
for Brett Strickler as he flipped in turn 2.

This time Nouse tried the high side in turns 1 and 2 and stays with
Wagaman down the back stretch. Nouse pulled a slide job on Wagaman in turns 3
and 4 and nearly made it stick. Nouse gave it everything he had as he raced
Wagaman to the checkered flag. Wagaman beat Nouse to the flag stand by .056
seconds. Ross crossed the line third. Matt Findley was fourth and Cody Fletcher
finished fifth.

358 Sprint heats were won by Matt Findley and Alyson Dietz.
