Just two weeks after turning 18, Aaron Ott raced to his first career
410 Sprint car feature win Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway.
The East Berlin driver started sixth on the grid for Saturday’s
25-lap event and wasted no time in racing his way into the lead by
the fifth lap.
While Ott was out front, there was plenty of action going on behind
him as Brian Montieth came from 16th in the field and Fred Rahmer
and Doug Esh were battling hard on the track.
Drama set in on the final lap when Esh got into the side of Rahmer,
causing both drivers to spin as they were battling for the runner-up
position.
But none of this rattled Ott, a senior at Bermudian Springs High
School who captured the checkered flag to add his name to the long
list of feature winners in the Pigeon Hills.
Montieth finished second with Adam Wilt coming from the rear of the
field after being involved in a first lap crash to finish in the
third spot. Fourth went to 12th starting Alan Krimes over Gerard
McIntyre, Jr.
Abbottstown’s Eric Tomecek also recorded his first career Lincoln
win in the 20-lap 358 Sprint car feature event.
Tomecek inherited the lead when last week’s winner Jeff Rohrbaugh
went pitside after leading the first 15 laps. Tomecek then drove to
the win over Billy Johns, Tim Wagaman, Dale Hammaker and Glenndon
Forsythe.
Mike Slaybaugh won the thundercar feature over Brad Shank, Brian
Walls, Kyle Martin and Larry Neiderer.
CANNON ROMPS AT SELINSGROVE
It was a big week for the Newville-based Highlands Tire and Service
team.
Thursday night, crew chief Matt Highlands and wife Missy became
parents for the first time as they welcomed a little girl named
Olivia into the world.
Then on Saturday night, the Highlands sprint car driver Pat Cannon
was back at work taking an impressive win in the 25-lap 358 Sprint
car feature at Selinsgrove Speedway.
Cannon started fifth in the field and took control of the event on
lap 10 and drove off to his 18th career track win and second overall
on the season in the Zane and Vicki Highlands owned machine.
Phil Walter finished second with TJ Stutts third, Blane Heimbach
fourth and Nate Snyder fifth.
Jeff Rine completely dominated the 25 lap late model feature for
his third overall win of the season and 56th career at Selinsgrove

COVERT DOMINATES THREE STATE FLYERS
It was all Jason Covert in Saturday night’s Three State Flyers late
model event at Hagerstown Speedway.
The York Haven driver destroyed the field as he took the win by a
ten-second margin over Billy Wampler at the Hub City oval. Covert
won three TSF events at the track last season.

Deese, Jr. and Frankie Plessinger.
