Five Divisions Set For Friday Night At Lincoln Speedway
(Lincoln, IL) After a couple of weeks off, Lincoln Speedway, in
Lincoln, IL, is set for a return to racing this Friday, June 7. Five
divisions of racing action are on tap, including a rare visit from
the DIRTcar Pro Mod division as well as a $1,000 to win special for
the Hornet class.
Headlining Friday’s action is the Ed Cain Trucking $1,000 to win
Hornet Challenge. The class, which usually races for about $100 to
win, will have plenty of extra money on the line on Friday night.
The event, in its fourth season, runs on Friday night at Lincoln
before heading to Macon Speedway on Saturday night. Over the first
three years, the events have averaged fields in the mid to upper
20’s. $40 fast time bonuses as well as bonus money for the top out
of state finishers are on the line.
Making a rare appearance Friday night will be the DIRTcar Pro
Modified division. The class which runs at a number of Illinois
tracks, only has an event or two each year at Lincoln Speedway. The
event is run under DIRTcar Pro Modified rules. The division put on a
couple of good shows at the track in 2018.
The DIRTcar Pro Late Models are on schedule for their fourth race at
the track this season. Mendon, IL driver, Denny Woodworth, currently
leads the standing by just two points over Springfield, IL’s Jake
Little. Each of the two drivers have claimed a feature win at the
track this season. Carlinville, IL’s Cody Maguire is third in the
standing, while Chris Morefield and Roben Huffman round out the top
five. Ryan Little, of Springfield, was the winner of the other
feature this season but missed a race and is eighth in points.
No big surprise when it comes to the current leader of the DIRTcar
Modified standings at the track, Brian Lynn, of Mason City, IL. Lynn
is one of four different feature winners in as many nights of
racing. Other feature winners include his son, Austin, Ray
Bollinger, and Rick Conoyer. Tommy Sheppard, Jr., of New Berlin, IL
is second in points, just ten behind Lynn. Austin Lynn, Mike Brooks,
and Bollinger are third through fifth in the current standings.

Mason City, IL’s Andy Baugh leads the points in the Nutech Seed DII
Midget class. Baugh has won three out of the four feature events,
while Karter Sarff won the other. Springfield, IL’s Patrick Ryan is
second in the standings with Brandon Smith, Jeff Sparks, and Mark
McMahill in the top five. The Nutech Seed Front Row Challenge bonus
will be $400 this Friday night. If a driver who is slated to start
in the top four accepts the challenge to start at the rear and can
win the feature, that driver will claim the $400 bonus.
Pit gates open Friday at 4:00, grandstands at 5:00, hotlaps will
begin at 6:00, with racing at 7:00. Grandstand admission is $15 for
adults and free for kids 11 and under.
