ABBOTTSTOWN -- Ten-time track champion Fred Rahmer padded his early-season points lead with a convincing victory in the 410 sprints on Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway.

Rahmer credited the victory to a new Winters Performance rear end he tested earlier in the week on the Lincoln surface.

"We got something brand new from Winters that not another team has yet," Rahmer said. "I've run a lot of laps here, but I don't know that I've ever felt better."

Rahmer came from the ninth starting spot to grab the lead from Alan Krimes with a bold outside move through turn 2 as the leaders were coming up on lapped traffic on lap 11.

From there, he drove away to a 1.29-second win with a 25-lap, non-stop time of 6 minutes, 24.850 seconds. It was Rahmer's second Lincoln win of the year and the 156th of his career there.

Krimes held on for second, with Doug Esh, Chad Layton and Lance Dewease completing the top five.

Sixth through 10th were T.J. Stutts, Brian Montieth, Lucas Wolfe, Cody Darrah and Tim Shaffer.

Also Saturday, Gino Comi picked up his first career win in the thundercars.

Etters driver wins at Grove: On Friday night, defending limited sprint champion Pat Cannon, of Etters, held off the charge of World of Outlaws star Tim Shaffer to win the 25-lap sprint car feature at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg.

Andy Anderson won the 25-lap late model feature.

Cannon started on the

pole and beat Shaffer into the first turn to take the lead. He never faltered in lapped traffic and kept Shaffer at bay en route to the $3,000 victory.

With the win, Cannon became the first driver to win in super sportsman cars, limited sprints and sprint cars, the three regular divisions at the Grove. The 29-year-old had made his 410 sprint debut just a week earlier and was making his first feature start on Friday night.

Shaffer held off a determined Ryan Bohlke to finish second. Bohlke's third-place effort was his best career finish at Williams Grove.
