Abbottstown, PA (March 1, 2020) â€“ Dylan Cisney’s first career Lincoln Speedway win was not
as easy as it may appear on paper. Cisney started on the pole of the 25-lap
feature, but it wasn’t smooth sailing to land in victory lane.

Cisney took the lead at
the drop of the green flag, with defending track champion, Brian Montieth moving
up to third from his fifth starting spot coming out of turn 2 on the first lap.
Montieth was up to second on the next lap and got around Cisney using the
middle of turns 1 and 2 for the lead but the caution would come out before
Montieth’s lead was official. Chase Dietz got spun around at the end of the
front stretch and was able to rejoin the field.

Dylan led Montieth,
Gerard McIntyre, Brandon Rahmer and Glenndon Forsythe to the cone for the race’s
only restart.

Montieth went to the
bottom of turn 1 and got by Cisney for the top spot. Cisney and Montieth raced
wheel to wheel down the backstretch with Cisney gaining the advantage into turn
3. Montieth went low again into the turns and had the lead coming out of turn
4.

As Montieth drove away
from Cisney, he encountered lapped traffic on lap 6. As Montieth drove through
lapped traffic Cisney held off McIntyre to hold onto the second spot.

Lap 13 saw trouble for
the leader as he worked through heavy lapped traffic. Montieth did a 360 spin
coming out of turn 2 and dropped back to sixth. The car never stopped so the
caution did not come out. Montieth’s misfortune moved Cisney into the lead with
McIntyre running second and Brandon Rahmer in third.

As Montieth worked his
way back to the front of the pack there was plenty of racing throughout the
field. Last week’s winner, Danny Dietrich, started to work his way to the front
of the field from seventh.

With seven laps to go Dietrich
was running third and Montieth had driven back up to fourth. Dietrich tried to
get by McIntyre for second which allowed Montieth to make a move for third with
Dietrich falling back to fourth. Two laps later, Montieth made a move on
McIntyre for second allowing Dietrich to take the third spot back.

Montieth got back by
Dietrich with five laps to go to take third and wanted to get by McIntyre for
second. Montieth tried to slide up the track in turn 2 to get by McIntyre with
four laps to go, but it wasn’t enough to make the pass. Dietrich got by
Montieth down the backstretch with Montieth taking the third spot back out of
turn 4.

Montieth tried to get by
McIntyre in turns 1 and 2 with three laps to go and this time he was able to
complete the pass. McIntyre lost third to Dietrich as he had to check up due to
Montieth’s pass.

Dietrich got under Montieth
in turns 3 and 4 to take second with two laps to go. Despite the back and
forth, Dietrich and Montieth were closing in on the leader but did not have
enough laps to make a run for the lead.

Cisney made it to the
checkered flag .240 seconds ahead of Dietrich for his first career Lincoln
Speedway victory. Dietrich nosed out second place over Montieth by less than a
tenth of a second. Brock Zearfoss finished fourth from his thirteenth starting
spot earning the hard charger award. McIntyre held on for a fifth place finish.

Also, of note was a
visit from Plainfield, Indiana native, Zach Hampton. Hampton made the nine hour
trip to the pigeon hills and finished tenth in his heat and eleventh in the B-main.
It was Hampton’s first trip to Pennsylvania to race.

410 Sprint Car heat
winners were Dylan Cisney, Gerard McIntyre and Brian Montieth.

Next Saturday, March 7, Lincoln
Speedway is back in action with 410 Sprint Cars and open practice for all
divisions racing at the track this season. Racing starts at 2PM with pit gates
