Returning to racing action for the first time
since a joint event at Fairbury Speedway with the IRA Sprint Car
Series won by Joe B. Miller, Preston Perlmutter sits at the top
of the series points standings over Jeremy Standridge by a mere
12 points. Trevin Littleton, Gage Montgomery and Logan Faucon
complete the top five.
Prior to Fairbury's Bill Waite Memorial, the series was in
action at Macon Speedway, where Zach Daum continued his "daum-inance"
of the fifth-mile oval.
Friday night will be the 17th appearance by the series at the
¼-mile fairgrounds oval. Twelve drivers have won events at
Lincoln, with Rico Abreu and Paul Nienhiser, each earning three
victories. AJ Bruns, Carson Macedo, Christopher Bell, Ian
Madsen, Jake Neuman, Jerrod Hull, Jimmy Hurley, Korey Weyant,
Scotty Thiel and Willie Croft each have single victories. Thiel
won the 2022 event at Lincoln, which was shortened due to rain.
Lincoln native, Cory Bruns is looking to improve on his 6th
place finish from last year’s event, hoping he can add his name
to the list of winners.
In addition to the MOWA Sprint cars, the Midwest Big Ten Series
Pro Late Models, Midwest Big Ten Series Modifieds, MARA Midgets
by Agventure/Wehmeyer Seed, and Hornets will also race.
Pit gates will open at 4:00, grandstands at 5:00, hotlaps at 6,
and racing will take the green at 7:00 PM. Grandstand admission
will be $20, while kids 11 and under are free.
