 Fred Rahmer’s been looking for win number 151 since early April at Lincoln Speedway.

 He doesn’t have to look any longer.

 Rahmer made history Saturday night at Lincoln as he led flag to flag to win the 30-lap O’Reilly All Star Sprint feature. More importantly for the veteran driver, his win was his 151st career win at the track moving him into sole position at the top of the tracks all time win list.

 He has been tied with Steve Smith since his last win in April but was able to position himself on the front row for last night’s A-Main and the rest as they say is history.

 “I’ve been working at this since 1986 and there are too many people to even mention,” the Salfordville driver stated. “From Bud Lawrence, to Joe Harz to Al Hamilton, I’ll forget a lot of people and it won’t be right but every deal I’ve been with have been with nothing but good people. Jim and Sandy Kline gave me a good ride last year. It’s a pretty emotional deal to tell you the truth but I am very proud to be the winningest driver here.”

 Smith’s last win came back in 1996 when he also topped an All Star sanctioned event. Smith retired from racing that season and Rahmer’s been chasing the record ever since.
 Rahmer started on the outside of the front row for the feature and was able to get a run on Jim Siegel to lead the first lap and would never look back.

 Jeff Shepard moved into second spot on the second lap and appeared to have a challenge ready for Rahmer but was never able to get closer than about three car lengths.
 Shepard closed on Rahmer when they encountered lapped traffic at the midway point of the race but Rahmer worked traffic during the remaining 15 laps to keep the Upperco, Maryland behind him.

 Rahmer’s win came in front of another large Saturday night crowd and was his third of the season at Lincoln and third overall in the Chad and Jen Clemens owned No. 51 sprinter.
 “I have so much respect for all those guys that have raced here and still race here,” he added. “I’ve preserved here long enough to get it done and I’ve never really been in a bad race car. I have all my sponsors that I started with. It’s just a really good night to get this over with. It’s been a burden on me for a long long time.”

 Rahmer knew the race would be won off the front row.

 “The guys had the car good tonight and I just positioned myself tonight,” he stated. “It rubbered up and it was pretty much church over. But it feels good to get it out of the way.”
 Shepard settled for second with Siegel third, Harrisburg’s Chad Layton fourth and Mechanicsburg’s Lucas Wolfe fifth.

 Completing the top 10 were Cory Haas, Greg Hodnett, Dale Blaney, Doug Esh and Alan Krimes.

 Layton paced the 39-car field in time trials with a lap of 13.545 seconds.

 Heats were won by Kenny Jacobs, Brian Montieth, Paul May and Esh. Hodnett won the B-Main while Rahmer and Jacobs were declared co-winners of the dash.
