Rohrbaugh holds off Hammaker in “358” sprint feature; Zimmerman tenth to first in All-American Outlaws
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 5/2/2015 – Intense. That was the operative word to describe the 33-lap, $6,900-to-win 12th Annual Weldon Sterner Memorial at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night.
And
standing in victory lane for his third Lincoln win of the year and
second win in two nights was Brian Montieth, who eats intensity for breakfast .
“There
wasn’t’ much room anywhere, and we weren’t actually very good there at
the end. I was worried, and tried looking at the scoreboard, but there
was way too much stuff going on,” said Montieth after scoring his 47th
career Lincoln win, “I was trying to run defensive and be offensive the
whole time. Running first here sort-of sucks. It’s always better
running second except when you get in that kind of lapped traffic.”
The
win ended another storybook night for the Weldon Sterner Memorial, with
the Jerry Parrish team carrying the Sterner Cement logo on the top wing
of the car normally numbered 21.
Time trials and an inversion at the front of the field put Montieth seventh for the start
alongside fast time trailer Greg Hodnett. Those two battled for
position in the early stages of the race, with previous race winner and
polesitter J.J. Grasso leading the first 14 laps.
The only caution of the race came out for Jim Siegel and Glenndon Forsythe, who got together in turn four of lap three.
The
last 30 laps went non-stop, with the leaders racing through heavy
lapped traffic from lap 11 on. That’s when things began to change. Danny
Dietrich was the first to make his move, catching Robbie Kendall for
second on lap 12, with Montieth following on his heels into third. On
the next lap, Montieth got around Dietrich for the runner-up spot. Two
laps later, Montieth took the lead for good. But Dietrich, who caught
Grasso on lap 16, wouldn’t let Montieth get away.
“I
have to say I don’t even remember it,” answered Montieth when asked
about the pass for the lead, “I was too busy trying to hit marks and
trying not to screw anybody up or wad myself up.”
Those
two fought through lapped traffic the remainder of the race, with
Dietrich closing on Montieth several times, only to have Montieth make
slider after slider to put lapped cars in between. Despite 30 non-stop
laps, Montieth’s final margin of victory was a mere half-second.
“Danny
tried choosing a line and make that pass…toward the end there the
middle had a lot of rubber, and it helps with some of those slide jobs
driving through the corners,” said the Phoenixville points leader, “This
is probably one of the harder intense races I’ve ever driven here.”
“Not
much excites me, and my heart was beating,” said car owner Jerry
Parrish, “Brian’s the most determined driver behind the wheel. I know
Danny was back there licking his chops waiting for a lapped car to choke
him up and take advantage. He ran good too. I’m glad we’re standing
here. Honestly, this is what exciting racing is about right here at THIS
track.”
Third
through fifth were Grasso, Hodnett, and Kendall, with Brent Marks, Alan
Krimes, Tim Glatfelter, Niki Young, and Freddie Rahmer completing the
top ten.
Fast
time in time trials over the 30-car field was set by Hodnett with a
one-lap time of 13.164-seconds (102.552 MPH). Heats for the 410
sprinters were won by Glatfelter, Scott Fisher, and Grasso, with Nicole
Bower winning the consolation.
Jeff Rohrbaugh moved into sole possession of second place on the all-time Lincoln 358 sprint car win list with his 12th career win in their 20-lap feature event.
Rohrbaugh
started eighth and found himself the leader after getting together with
polesitter and race-long leader Kody Lehman on turn two of lap 17.
Lehman spun out, collecting sixth-place Cody Fletcher and Dylan Welsh.
Rohrbaugh never stopped, and assumed the race lead for the restart.
Rohrbaugh
held off Lincoln and Central PA point series leader Doug Hammaker by
1.25 seconds at the end, with Matt Campbell, Chris Frank, and Ryan
Wilson rounding out the top five.
Heats for the 30 358 Sprinters were won by Hammaker, Jordon Givler, and Frank, with Cody Fairchok winning the consolation.
Pasadena,
Maryland’s Kurt Zimmerman came from tenth starting spot to score his
fourth career Lincoln win in the 20-lap All-American Outlaw feature.
Fred and Justin Cullum crossed second and third, followed by Rick Hulson and Bryan Green.
Heats for the 17 All American Outlaws were won by Green and Justin Cullum.
Next Saturday night, May 9th, it will be PROSPECT METAL & USED AUTO PARTS NIGHT
featuring the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 Sprints, Keizer Aluminum Wheels
358 Sprints, & Central PA Legends. In addition, it will be Dover
