Story By: LINCOLN SPEEDWAY – ABBOTTSTOWN, PA – Danny Dietrich’s first win of the season at Lincoln came on Saturday night during the PA Speedweek Tune-up. The last time Dietrich waited until June to score his first win of the season at Lincoln was 2009.
Dietrich drew the six pill in the redraw, the highest pill available, for his feature start. That didn’t stop him though, Danny was up to third on the second lap, and was second on lap three. Dietrich took the lead from Tyler Ross on lap five. Danny would go unchallenged until a late race restart, “I about lost it there on the restart. The left rear felt low once we went back green. I had to be really conservative. I went into turn 1 and just about spun out.” Ross, who was running second, was able to pull a slider on Dietrich in turn 2 to briefly take the lead back, “Tyler got by me and slid me. Had to get conservative and aggressive. I felt like I ran a really good race there and raced smart with Tyler to make sure I didn’t do anything stupid.”
It was an emotional win for Dietrich who lost his father in-law this week, “This race is for Mike. It’s been a tough week but this is a great way to cap this week off.”
Young-gun Cameron Smith drew the pole for the 30-lap feature and Tyler Ross, back in his family car for the second week in a row, lined up second. Smith had the lead at the line but Ross took the lead coming out of turn 2 and led lap 1. Smith, Kyle Moody and Danny Dietrich were racing three-wide coming out of turn 4 for second with Moody taking the spot. Danny was all over Smith for third and took the spot on lap 2 before the caution came out. Glenndon Forsythe and Cole Young got together in turn 3. Both were able to rejoin the field.
Ross led Moody, Danny, Smith and Domenic Melair for the restart. A seven car incident brought out the red on the restart. Both Freddie Rahmer and Matt Campbell took a spill. Riley Emig, Brandon Rahmer, Chad Trout, Chris Arnold and Jordan Givler were also involved.
Danny looked to the inside of Moody on the restart and got by him for second at the line by inches. Troy Wagaman passed Melair to get into the top five.
Danny was all over Ross for the lead and got a good run coming off or turn 2 on lap 4. It was good enough to get by Ross and Danny took the lead on lap 5. Troy got by Smith for fourth and started reeling in Moody.
Lapped traffic came into play for Danny on lap 8. Dietrich had a half straight-away lead, but heavy lapped traffic loomed ahead. Using the high line, Danny made quick work of lapped cars, maintaining his advantage over Ross.
Moody used lapped traffic to close in on Tyler as Danny checked out at the front of the field.
Melair brought out the yellow flag on lap 16 when he stopped coming out of turn 2. Domenic had been running seventh.
The top five for the restart were Danny, Ross, Moody, Wagaman and Smith. Moody went to the bottom on the restart but could not get by Ross for second. Ross closed in on Danny and pulled a slider to pass him for the lead in turn 2 on lap 18. Danny got him back before they crossed the line to hold on to the top spot.
Moody was there and ready to strike but Ross moved down to block Moody’s line in turns 1 and 2. Billy Dietrich entered the top five on lap 18.
Billy got by Troy for fourth on the back stretch on the final lap but Troy passed him back before the checkered to hold the spot.
Danny scored the win 1.740 seconds ahead of Ross. Moody crossed the line third and Wagaman was fourth. Billy completed the top five.
Tyler Emory Declared Appalachian Mountain Speedweek Winner
After victory lane festivities were completed Cody Overton’s car was disqualified for not meeting the Appalachian Mountain Speedweek rear suspension rules. That meant that Tyler Emory was the winner of the 35-lap, $4,000 to win feature.
Rick Eckert and Tyler Emory made up the front row and raced wheel to wheel the entire first lap until Emory had the advantage coming out of turn 4. Emory led lap 1 with Eckert in second. Eckert, Chad Overton and Gregg Satterlee were in a three-car battle for second. Overton got under Eckert down the back stretch and took second on lap 2. Eckert was left to hold off Satterlee’s challenge for third.
Overton was closing in on Emory as they caught the tail end of the field. Just as Emory found himself in lapped traffic, the yellow came out on lap 10 when Shaun Jones came to a stop in turn 2 after doing a 360 degree spin.
Emory led Overton, Eckert, Satterlee and Dylan Yoder to the cone for the restart. Satterlee was all over Eckert for third but could not make the pass. Overton was making a strong bid for the lead, but Emory held the spot.
Yoder showed his nose under Satterlee for fourth but did not make the pass. Overton was not letting Emory pull away. Chad tried the high line in turns 3 and 4 which resulted in losing ground to the leader. Overton regained the lost time as they caught the tail end of the field lap 20. Overton was on Emory’s bumper as they tried to get around the first lapped car. Overton got under Emory down the back stretch and took the lead on lap 22. Eckert had caught the front of the field as well and made it a three-car battle for the lead. Overton put a lapped car between him and the other contenders, Emory, Eckert, Satterlee and Yoder.
Yoder got by Satterlee for fourth but Satterlee stuck around and the two were in a fierce battle in the final laps. Jason Covert entered the picture late in the race and got by Satterlee for fifth on the final lap.
After Overton’s disqualification, Emory won with Eckert in second. Yoder was third and Covert was fourth. Satterlee completed the top five.
