2016 LINCOLN SPEEDWAY season opener
Ralph Morgan claims first Lincoln win in 358 late models; Kory Sites best of street stocks
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 8/29/2015 Another historic night at Lincoln Speedway saw the next generation of Rahmers pull into victory lane, as Brandon Rahmer held off the late-race challenges of Lincoln points leader Brian Montieth to score his first career 410 sprint car win.
I was trying to run my ass off to keep away from them, said Rahmer when asked whether he knew if Montieth and 12th-starting Danny Dietrich were running second and third behind him, I kept my speed up top. I didnt know if Brian had enough to slide up in front of me going into three. Thats how Danny (Dietrich) got me the other two times I was in the front here. But I finally got to stand up here.
I was lucky enough to draw a good pill and start up front for the feature and it finally paid off, added Rahmer.
Handicapping placed the Rahmer brothers on the outside of the front two rows for the feature. Polesitter Steve Owings took the lead at the outset and led the first two laps, with Freddie dropping back to fifth at outset and Robbie Kendall and Tim Glatfelter moving into third and fourth.
Brandon caught Owings for the lead on lap three and led the rest of the way, with plenty of action in behind. Freddie recovered to advance to second after catching Owings on lap eight.
As the Rahmer brothers led, tenth-starting Brian Montieth and leading Lincoln feature winner and 12th-starting Danny Dietrich were methodically working their way through the field.
Montieth caught Grasso for third on lap 12 and chased down Freddie by the 17th lap. He and Freddie made contact exiting turn four of that lap, pitching Freddie into the outside guardrail on the front stretch and ending Freddies night. Also caught up in the crash was fourth-place Grasso and Randy Bachman.
Montieth never stopped and assumed second for the restart, with Owings third and Dietrich fourth. One lap later, Dietrich disposed of Owings and made it a three-car race to the checkered.
Though he pulled alongside several times, Montieth was never able to get by the Miller Brothers Chevrolet/Wege Pretzels/ARAN Trading #88. Rahmers final margin of victory was .53 seconds, with Dietrich a close third, Owings fourth, and Friday night Williams Grove winner Austin Hogue fifth.
Rounding out the top ten were 20th-starting Gerard McIntyre, Jr., Kendall, Cory Haas, 19th-starting Alan Krimes, and 22nd-starting Jimmy Siegel.
Heats for the 26 410s were won by Montieth, Kyle Moody, and Kendall, with Krimes winning the consolation.
Mt. Unions Ralph Morgan scored his eighth win of the year in the 358 late model feature event, crossing a convincing 3.53 seconds ahead of Shaun Jones. It was the first career Lincoln win for Morgan, who has already won five races at Hesston and a race each at Hagerstown and Path Valley this year.
Gene Knaub was third, with Eric Irvin and Cam Zeigler completing the top five.
The event was marred by a 14-car pile-up which blocked the track in turn three of the first lap.
Heats for the 26 358 Late Models were won by Morgan, Brad Shank, and Shaun Jones, with Dan Zechman winning the consolation.
Kory Sites claimed his first win in five years in the 20-lap street stock feature. Sites, who came out of retirement by running a few events last year, started on the front row and followed polesitter Jason Townsend for the first three laps. He wrestled the lead on lap four and held off Mike Potts over the final 15 laps.
Third through fifth were Doug Bennett, Bob Scott, Jr., and Michelle Walls.
Heats for the 26 Street Stocks were won by Townsend, Sites, and Bennett.
Phil Walter holds off Hammaker for 358 sprint car win
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 8/26/2015 Technically, it was his sixth Lincoln win and the 197th of his storied career. But Lincoln Speedway and Fred Rahmer Promotions will let it to the pundits as to whether it counts.
But for Todd Shaffer, his win in Wednesday nights Legends of Central PA Sprint Car Racing feature event was one that he will cherish for the rest of his days.
Second heat winner Kenny Adams of Malibar, Florida drew a zero pill for the inversion and led the first 10 laps of the feature event, losing a sizeable lead over Shaffer and the rest of the field when the competition yellow came out at the half-way point for what many drivers called an oxygen break.
On the 11th-lap restart, Adams bounced off the outside wall and lost the lead to Shaffer, who led the rest of the way. Adams settled for second, with Kenny Jacobs making a late-race pass to catch Cris Eash, who finished fourth. Keith Kauffman rounded out the top five in an event which featured 12 of the winningest drivers in Central PA history and among Fred Rahmers idols that he competed against throughout his career.
Qualifiers for the legends were won by the two 88 cars, Shaffer and Adams.
Danny Dietrich continued his hot streak by claiming two of the six match races and taking home the winner-take-all $10,000 among the six drivers elected by the fans through on-line voting.
Other winners of the five-lap match races were Dale Blaney (2) and Montieth (2).
In the end, Dietrich earned 53 points, followed by Lucas Wolfe with 50, Blaney with 48, and Montieth with 44. Greg Hodnett was sidelined in the first set of match races with a broken lifter, and Alan Krimes suffered mechanical problems in the last set of match races, ending both of their nights.
McClures Phil Walter, who raced against all but one of the legends on hand, took care of all the 358 sprinters in winning the 20-lap 358 sprint car feature.
Polesitter Cody Fletcher, grandson of one of the mechanics recognized as part of the evenings festivities (Harry Fletcher), started on the pole and led the first five laps before giving way to fourth-starting Walter.
Though he led the rest of the way, he had to hold off the challenges of Central PA point series and Lincoln points leader Doug Hammaker over the second half of the race, taking the checkered .94 seconds in front for the $1,200 win.
Matt Campbell, second in Lincoln points, came on strong at the end to finish third, with Adrian Shaffer and Jeff Halligan completing the top five.
Heats for the 22 358s on hand were won by Campbell, Shaffer, and Isaac Sneeringer.
Bill Stine claims first career win in 358 sprints; Rick Hulson best of All-American Outlaws
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 8/22/2015 Not even the highest pill draw and points handicapping can stop Danny Dietrich.
In his first Lincoln appearance since competing in the A main at the Knoxville Nationals, Dietrich started last in his heat, made the 12-car handicap, started 12th, and drove away to his sixth Lincoln win in the BAPS Night 410 sprint car feature at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night.
Night in, night out these guys give me a fast car. I couldnt be any happier, said Dietrich upon exiting his Gary Kauffman-owned Sandoes Fruit Market/Hickory Run Orchards/Weikerts Livestock #48 in victory lane, To be sitting here again after going out on the road and picking up where we left off
were doing real good.
Despite another masterful run through the field, Dietrich did have one close call as he closed on polesitter and race-long leader Tim Wagaman on the front stretch of lap 14.
We got real lucky here on the front stretch. Zach (Euculano) was off the pace and pulling into the infield. I tried to stay behind him as long as I could just because there was nowhere to go around the top, said Dietrich, I didnt know Cory (Haas) was there, and that was close
closer than I like to be. But these guys that we race with week in and week out are very clean racers, and I cant thank all of them enough. Being clean on the track means we dont tear anything up.
Dietrich regrouped and drove around Wagaman exiting turn two of lap 15. From there, he checked out on the field, crossing 3.09 seconds in front of seventh-starting Haas.
Brandon Rahmer started second, ran second the first 12 laps, dropped to fourth with ten to go, and fought back to a well-earned third-place finish. Alan Krimes and Gerard McIntyre, Jr. completed the top five. Wagaman settled for sixth, followed by Brian Montieth, who came from the rear of the field following a second lap spin. Eighth and ninth were the BAPS cars of Brent Marks, 18th-starting Austin Hogue, and Kyle Moody.
BAPS Auto Paints & Supply provided $300 bonuses to the two sprint car winners, and added $200 to the second-place finisher and $100 to the third-place finisher in each sprint division. Fundraising efforts during BAPS two nights of 2015 Lincoln racing resulted in $7,000 for Olivias House in York.
Heats for the 27 410s on hand were won by Brandon Rahmer, Jim Siegel, and Moody, with Scott Fisher winning the consolation.
Bill Stine started on the pole and led every lap of the 358 sprint car feature for his first career division win, despite losing the lead for a portion of a lap and reclaiming the lead from eighth-starting Adrian Shaffer, who chased the winner from lap four on.
Third through fifth were Lincoln point leader Doug Hammaker (who started 12th), Kevin Nouse, and Cole Young. Sixth through tenth were Matt Campbell (sporting a #31 to wing in remembrance of Jimmy Campbell), Tyler Esh, Ryan Higgins, Cody Fletcher, and Jeff Rohrbaugh (who came from the rear twice in multi-car crashes, the last one on lap eight).
Heats for the 29 358s on hand were won by Campbell, Stine, and Nouse, with Lucas Montgomery winning the consolation.
Glen Bernie, Marylands Rick Hulson led flag-to-flag in the 20-lap All-American Outlaw feature, holding off Fred Cullum the entire way and crossed .97 seconds behind the winner. The victory ended a five-race win streak for teammate Kurt Zimmerman, who came from 11th starting spot to finish third. Fourth and fifth were Randy Doty and Justin Cullum.
Heats for the 17 All American Outlaws on hand were won by Zimmerman and Hulson.
Leppo claims Central PA Legends feature; 410 & 358 Sprints return on Saturday
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 8/19/2015 For the throngs of race fans who turned out to Lincoln to see 4-foot, 4-inch Rico Abreu Wednesday night, he did not disappoint.
That was pretty damn cool right there! exclaimed Abreu after claiming his second USAC/ARDC win in as many nights as part of the Honda Midget Series Eastern Storm swing, They packed the track in and that helped out a bunch. That was a pretty cool race to be driving.
For most of the race, it looked like Abreu would have to rally to make the podium, as Jerry Coons, Jr. and Bryan Clauson waged a duel for the lead over the first 28 laps.
But the final laps were beyond description, with fifth-starting Abreu assuming third when teammate Christopher Bell spun in turns three and four with five laps to go.
On the 26th lap restart, Clauson got past Coons for the lead. A lap later, Coons (who led laps 1-13 and 16-25) began to fade, opening the door for a charging Abreu with four laps to go.
Abreu then took to the cushion to pass Clauson for the race lead on lap 29, and hung on for the crowd-pleasing win.
I know its tough here leading. I went through the same scenario last night of just not knowing where to go. He got by Jerry and then went low. That left a clean lane up there, said Abreu of the race-winning pass, Hes a good enough driver to race me clean, and we get great racing like that. I just dragged raced him down into one. The top kinda got burned in there and I got my momentum going up there. It was exciting!
He picked up $3,500 for the win, with Clauson settling for second, Tracy Hines coming from eighth to finish third, tenth-starting Kevin Thomas, Jr. fourth, and 12th-starting Alex Bright fifth. Sixth through tenth were Coons, Steve Buckwalter, Spencer Bayston, Tyler Thomas, and Brandon Bright.
Im having a lot of fun here in Pennsylvania, continued Abreu, I think its great USAC is now coming to Pennsylvania. I know theres a lot of great race tracks here. It shows tonight with the great racing. I thank the fans for coming out. I know its a weekday, but it looks like a great crowd to me.
Heats for the USAC Midgets were won by Steve Buckwalter, Coons, Tyler Thomas, Jr., and Christopher Bell, with Trevor Kobylarz winning the consolation.
Clauson set a new track record over the 31-car field in time trials, turning a lap of 15.804 seconds (85.421 miles per hour).
Spring Groves Harlon Leppo became the fifth leader on lap 18 and went on to win the 20-lap Central PA Legends feature.
Leppo started third but watched polesitter Mason Chaney led the first three laps and Travis McClelland lead lap four. He then led the next 11 laps before McClelland slid under Leppo for the lead in turn two of lap 17. One lap later, Leppo made an identical move to re-take the lead, and crossed 1.12 seconds in front of McClelland at the end.
Bill Diehl caught Bob Stough at the start-finish line to finish third, with Stough and Chaney completing the top five.
Heats for the 27 Central PA Legends on hand were won by Chaney, McClelland, and Leppo, with Rick Hartwig winning the consolation.
USAC/ARDC Midget show up next on Wednesday night
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 8/15/2015 Rookie driver Chase Dietz fulfilled a life-long dream by claiming his first career 410 sprint car feature win during Premier Auto Works/Auto Locator Night at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night.
After normal qualifying and a unique set of two-car match races for the top 12 starters, the 2014 Lincoln 358 champ started fifth in the feature event.
Polesitter Jordan Mackison took the lead at the outset from outside front row starter Scott Fisher and led the first ten laps before Dietz nosed in front of him at the start-finish line, just before the lone caution flag of the race came out for a spinning Cory Haas in turn four of lap 11.
Because half the field wasnt by, the lap didnt count but Dietzs pass for the lead did.
I was sitting there under the caution and couldnt believe I was in front, said a jubilant Dietz after exiting his Scott Gobrecht-owned Bad Boy Buggies/Golf Cart Services/H&H Excavating Services #44 in victory lane, We kept plugging away and I was kinda hoping wed hit lapped traffic so that they would block for me a little bit.
After last night, continued Dietz, This race is definitely for Jim Campbell and the whole racing community. Its tough to see that happen, but we all know what could happen when we strap in these race cars. Its just a passion of ours. We all send prayers and thoughts out to the whole family. Its just part of racing, but we just hope we never see it again.
We were racing with Jordan for the lead and I thought I was going spin out there a couple of times. It wasnt the best I could have done getting up through. But we only have about 20 races on this thing, and its definitely a handful
especially when youre getting excited going for the lead, said Dietz, It doesnt matter what your in or where you are in any event here
its so tough. Its a great accomplishment to be sitting here where all these legends have been. Its an amazing feeling.
After the 11th-lap caution, Dietz drove flawlessly through lapped traffic over the final 15 laps, holding off serious challenges by Adam Wilt, Alan Krimes, and Brian Montieth as the leaders raced through lapped traffic over the final ten laps. Montieth caught Krimes for third with three laps to go. Though he tried unsuccessful sliders on two occasions, fourth-starting Wilt was unable to make the pass and crossed 1.44 seconds behind Dietz.
We talked to Scott earlier in the year, and he decided he wanted to put me in the car. I told him I didnt know why he wanted to put a 17-year-old rookie in the car and spend all that money to give me this dream. Im so fortunate, reflected Dietz, I have so many great people behind me. I cant thank Scott, his family, and my family enough for giving me this opportunity.
Mackison completed his best-ever Lincoln run in fifth, with Jim Siegel, Tim Glatfelter, Austin Hogue, Tyler Ross, and Billy Dietrich rounding out the top ten.
Heats for the 25 410s on hand were won by Robbie Kendall, Dietz, and Krimes.
Lincoln swings back into action with a special mid-week show this Wednesday, August 19th, at 7:30 PM with the USAC Dirt Midgets (co-sanctioned by ARDC) coming to Central Pennsylvania. Central PA Legends will round out the evenings racing program which will see the gates open at 5:30 PM, and time trials getting underway at 7:30 PM.
Stough pads points lead with Central PA Legends win; Sixeas best of PA mini-stocks
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 8/8/2015 How dominant was Chandler Leiby at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night?
So dominant that he gave up a half-lap lead when the final caution flag of the event came out with five laps to go, and so dominant that his margin of victory was 6.82 seconds at the end. And so dominant that only eight cars finished on the lead lap.
Its all because of these guys right here, said Leiby in pointing to his crew after scoring his first win of the year and claiming the $2,700 top prize in race 3 of the four-race Nouse Signs & Graphics Summer Series feature event, This car was fast tonight, and thanks to Fred (Putney) for an awesome track. You could run anywhere here tonight.
Ryan Higgins started on the outside of the front row and led the first two laps before yielding to fourth-starting Leiby on lap three.
Leiby covered nearly every square foot of the surface in successfully maneuvering lapped traffic over the middle stages of the race. There were four lapped cars between Leiby and second-place Matt Campbell when a caution came out for a spin by Wyatt Hinkle in turns one and two of lap 20.
One lap later, Jeff Halligan blew a motor on the backstretch and dropped oil on the track. Last weeks winner Kody Lehman rolled over Halligans left rear and barrel-rolled down the backstretch, collecting Brad McClelland, who rolled into the third turn. None of those driver were injured.
While circling to line up for the restart, Campbell had a tire go down and pitted to make the change, handing the runner-up spot to points contender Doug Hammaker.
That made difference to Leiby, who still had four lapped cars between his Leibys Seal Coating/MATCO Tools #119 and Hammaker. Leiby drove away to his third career Lincoln win, with Hammaker second, series sponsor and hard-charger Kevin Nouse third (after starting 15th), Chris Arnold fourth, and Jeff Rohrbaugh fifth. Campbell came back to finish sixth, with Adrian Shaffer and Ryan Higgins the only other cars on the lead lap.
Unofficially, Hammakers second-place finish combined with Campbells sixth put Hammaker back on top of the season-long points chase by just five points.
Heats for the 33 358s on hand were won by Rohrbaugh, Higgins, Doug Hammaker, and McClelland, with Brie Hershey winning the consolation.
Bob Stough padded his points lead by leading all but one lap in the 15-lap Central PA Legends feature event. Though he was scored the leader on every lap but lap nine (Harlon Leppo), Stough bounced back and forth between first and third in a three-car battle for the lead several times in the middle of several laps.
Bill Diehl crossed second, followed by Leppo, Chad Earnst, and Joe Ehrisman.
Heats for the 26 Central PA Legends on hand were won by Scott Haudeshell, Travis McClelland, and Justin Mitchell, with Justice Forbes winning the consolation.
Mercersburgs Shane Sixeas started third, wrestled the lead away from Jeremy Ott on the fourth lap, and led the rest of the way in the 20-lap main event for PA mini-stocks.
Frankie Gordon came through from 11th-starting spot to grab the runner-up spot from Ott late in the race and cross second, with Ott settling for third, 14th-starting LeRoy Long fourth, and 15th-starting Zach Myers fifth.
Heats for the 17 PA mini-stocks on hand were won by Ott and Sixeas.
Next Saturday night, August 15, 2015 it will be PREMIER AUTO WORKS/AUTO LOCATOR NIGHT for the 410 Sprints, along with an EMMR Exhibition. Gates open at 5:30 PM, with racing action getting underway at 7:30 PM.
Kody Lehman claims first career Lincoln win in 358 sprints; Joe Ehrisman celebrates 19th birthday with first career Central PA Legends win
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 8/1/2015 Danny Dietrich is on fire.
Dietrich came from 12th starting spot to claim his second straight Lincoln Speedway win, third win of the week, and sixth win over the past three weeks in Saturday nights Pepsi Night 25-lap feature event in the Pigeon Hills. It was Dietrichs 12th overall win of 2015.
After a spin by polesitter Darren Mollenoyux on the initial start, Glenndon Forsythe assumed the pole and led the first 14 laps, with fifth-starting Robbie Kendall on his tail for 13 of those laps. Meanwhile, Dietrich was charging to the front. He broke the top five by lap seven, advanced to third by lap 11, and made his race winning move around Kendall in turn three and under Forsythe in turn four of lap 15.
I drove around Robbie and that was close, but I had a full head of steam coming and was hoping he would hear me and see me quick enough. said Dietrich upon exiting his Sandoes Fruit Market/Hickory Run Orchards/Weikerts Livestock #48 in victory lane, Just a sequence of events. I got to sit back and watch what they were doing, and I made a last minute move to go to the bottom and Im glad I did.
From there, Dietrich checked out on the field, opening up a six-second lead with five laps to go.
Kendall caught Forsythe for the runner-up spot on lap 17, and ran there the rest of the way, finishing 6.31 second behind Dietrich, who won his 28th career Lincoln feature, pulling him into an 11th-place tie with Van May on the all-time Lincoln win list.
This one of the best tracks weve had all year long, so I want to thank Fred Putney for that. This is one of the best tracks weve had all year long, The track surface has been getting way better here lately, and its allowing you to race. Thats the highest weve been up on the fence all year long, said Dietrich, These guys behind me did a heck-of-a job. By now everybodys probably getting sick and tired of it, but we dont get tired of it. These guys do what they gotta do, they work their butts off, and its paying off right now. They got this car rolling.
Third through fifth were Cory Haas, Tyler Ross, and Alan Krimes. Forsythe settled for sixth, with Jim Siegel, Tim Glatfelter, Kyle Moody, and Gerard McIntyre, Jr. completing the top ten.
Heats for the 27 410s on hand were won by Glatfelter, Krimes, and Austin Hogue, with Billy Dietrich winning the consolation.
Kody Lehman started on the pole, survived a rash of red flags over the first five laps, and led every lap in scoring his first career Lincoln win in t6he 20-lap 358 sprint car feature. Seventh-stating Adrian Shaffer and ninth-starting Matt Campbell advanced to second and third by lap eight and ran there the rest of the way. Lehman held off the closing Shaffer and Campbell as the three approached lapped traffic in the waning laps, with Lehmans final margin of victory .66 seconds.
Fourth and fifth were Nike Young (in the 4R car) and Phil Walter.
There were no injuries in the three red flags over the first five laps. Flippers included Jake Eldreth, Chandler Leiby, C.J. Tracy, and Tyler Esh. Esh was actually able to continue after rolling onto his side, and finished 14th.
Heats for the 30 358s on hand were won by Cole Young, Walter, and Doug Hammaker, with Bill Stine winning the consolation.
Newports Joe Ehrisman celebrated his 19th birthday by claiming his first career Central PA Legends feature win. Ehrisman came from 12th starting spot to pass several big guns, including Chad Glatfelter with two laps to go. Ehrisman assumed second for a restart when close racing resulted in a spin by leader Bob Stough on turn four of lap 13. Ehrisman snatched the lead from Glatfelter on the restart, and then held off Glatfelter and Chad Earnst in a one-lap shootout at the end.
Heats for the 24 Central PA Legends on hand were won by Bill Diehl, Scott Haudeshell, and Chad Glatfelter.
Chad Glatfelter holds off McClelland and Stough for Central PA Legends win
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 7/18/2015 Another big race, another big win for Danny Dietrich at Lincoln Speedway.
Dietrich came from 12th starting spot, nursed an injured motor over the final 16 laps, and claimed the $5,040 top prize in the 28th Annual and final DARYL GOHN/GLENN GOHN, SR. MEMORIAL for 410 sprint cars in the Pigeon Hills Saturday night. The extra money was put up by friends, family members, and sponsors.
I hurt a motor there with nine laps to go trying to pass (Tim) Glatfelter going into three, said Dietrich, who shut it down as soon as he took the checkered flag and went to the infield for some assistance, As soon as I turned the corner (on the ninth lap) it started going south. Were just lucky to be standing here
Polesitter Brandon Rahmer led the first 20 laps and had an impressive two-second lead in lapped traffic over outside front row starter Tim Glatfelter as late as lap 17. On lap 18, Dietrich caught Robbie Kendall for third, and then took second from Glatfelter following caution restart on lap 20.
Dietrich continued his surge, taking the lead from Rahmer in turns thee and four of lap 21. It was the debris caution on the last restart with two to go that led to Dietrichs concern.
I was worried about it taking off on that last restart, said Dietrich, I know daggone well well show up tomorrow and have another motor. Weve got another one in the shop thats just as good.
Despite the engine issue, Dietrich crossed 1.10 seconds ahead of Glatfelter, with Brandon Rahmer settling for third, Kendall fourth, and Austin Hogue fifth. Sixth through tenth were 11th-starting and point leader Brian Montieth, Billy Dietrich, Cory Haas, Jim Siegel, and Tyler Ross.

And he didnt waste any time, advancing to third by lap the end of lap two.

Both cars were done for the night.
Sixth-starting Cody Fletcher assumed the lead for the lap two restart, and held off Rohrbaugh for the next 14 laps before Rohrbaugh took the lead on lap 15.

Heats for the 26 Central PA Legends on hand were won by Stough, Leppo, and Chad Glatfelter.
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 7/11/2015 Jim Siegel capitalized on a week of hard work and possibly a little help from upstairs in scoring his first win of the year in the Fallen Firefighters Night feature event at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night.
The 33-lap race was run in memory of firefighter Brandon Little, who was killed in a traffic crash while responding to a fire call in January of 2012, and in recognition of United Hook and Ladder Station 33, which serves Abbottstown and New Oxford.
As a young race fan, Brandons favorite driver was Jim Siegel.
Its special for me to be able to stand here on a night when we celebrate Brandons life, said Siegel after scoring his 12th career Lincoln win and claiming the $5,000 top prize, All I can say is that kids like him give their time and efforts. It matters a lot what those people do for us. I think its real special that they volunteer and help us out, because when you need them, theyre there for you.
Ive been working my (butt) off all week, continued Siegel, So have my guys and my dad. We got that car tore up during the Monday Speedweek show here, and couldnt make it back for Thursday. Its been a long year. And it was an even longer week. It sure feels good to get the monkey off my back.
Normal handicapping and a redraw with the first six spots and second group of six cars put Siegel on the inside of row two for the start. Outside front row starter Kyle Moody grabbed the lead from polesitter Glenndon Forsythe at the outset, with Siegel falling in line behind them.
The races lone caution flag came out for Scott Fisher on lap four. Siegel passed Forsythe for second two laps later, and closed quickly on Moody in lapped traffic over the next six lap. Siegel was actually scored the leader at the line completing lap 15, but Moody was able to retake the lead on the following lap.
Meanwhile, seventh-starting Danny Dietrich had worked his way into third place during that exchange.
Siegel was able to put on his race-winning move on lap 20. Four laps later, Dietrich got by Moody to take second. For the next ten laps, the Sandoes Fruit Market #48 tried to track down Siegel. He got close with five laps to go, but got hung up behind lapped cars, allowing Siegel to pull away to the .62-second win.
Moody settled for third, with Alan Krimes and Greg Hodnett completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were Austin Hogue, Forsythe, 20th-starting Brian Montieth, Chase Dietz, and Tim Wagaman.
Heats for the 34 410s on hand were won by Moody, Cory Haas, Wagaman, and Lance Dewease, with Freddie Rahmer winning the consolation.
Sussex, New Jerseys Davie Franek came from 11th starting spot to score his first career Lincoln win in the 20-lap 358 sprint car feature. Franek methodically worked his way through the field during through a red flag and four caution flags during the first nine laps of the race to restart third after the ninth-lap caution.
Driving the Roger McKeehan #4R, Franek caught Lucas Montgomery for the runner-up spot at the half-way point, and made his race-winning pass by polesitter and race-long leader Wyatt Hinkle three laps later. From there, he pulled away to a convincing 5.37-second win.
Hinkle crossed second, followed by Montgomery, Tyler Esh, and 12th-starting Jeff Halligan.
Rounding out the top ten were Brie Hershey, 22nd-starting Cole Young, Matt Campbell, 24th-starting Todd Rittenhouse, Jr., and 23rd-startng Jordan Givler.

Front row starters Josh Weller and Jimmy Stitzel battled for the lead in the early going, with Weller leading lap one, Stitzel leading laps two and three, and Weller reclaiming the lead on lap four.
Ott made it a race between the yellow #25 cars after passing Stitzel for second on lap seven. Following the races final caution (a lap 12 caution for a spinning Mark Smith in turn one), Ott took the lead from Weller on the restart and drove away to a 4-second win, his first at Lincoln since 2011.

Prefer the turtle dock
posted 7 years ago
This scares me because my turtles almost got stuck in it. Upon reading the other reviews I discovered that this is not unusual. The turtle dock is much better because they cannot get stuck in it and drown.
Pros: ok
Cons: some dangers associated with it

Gary Watland is not puzzled by how he — a former member of the high-IQ society Mensa — wound up in a maximum-security prison awaiting a murder trial that could send him to death row.
"One might well ask, if I'm so smart, why am I in prison? IQ does not measure wisdom," he wrote to The Denver Post.
Watland is accused of murdering Mark Baker, who was imprisoned with him in Florence. Jury selection is to begin in U.S. District Court in Denver on Jan. 21, with the trial scheduled to start Feb. 3.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in the case. The last time federal prosecutors sought the death penalty in Colorado was in separate trials for cousins William Sablan and Rudy Sablan in 2007 and 2008. The two were accused of stabbing their cellmate, then removing his organs and displaying them for other inmates.
Juries, instead, sentenced the cousins to life in prison.
Watland, 51, would be OK with life behind bars. In prison, Watland writes encrypted letters, according to a court document. In one of those letters, he said he wants to spend the rest of his life at Supermax, described by a former warden as a clean version of hell.
"I hope they give me a lot of time," he once said, according to another federal court document. "If I have a life sentence, there's nothing for me to gain and very little to lose. ... I can behave any way I want and that is the freedom I want."
Watland, convicted in 2005 of murdering a friend in Anson, Maine, had qualified for Mensa in 1981 by scoring in the 99th percentile on a test of intelligence, according to the Arlington, Texas, organization. He rejoined the organization several times before his membership lapsed in 2008.
Watland's mother, Beverly, was quoted in The Portland (Maine) Phoenix newspaper as saying he has a history of mental illness. Watland denies having that history.
"I have not now, nor have I ever been mentally ill," he said in the letter to The Post.
Beverly Watland couldn't be reached for comment.
Watland's path to Supermax began Oct. 25, 2004, when he shot Wayne Crowley, 32, in the head after a night of drinking at Watland's home in Anson.
Trouble broke out between the two when Watland's wife, Susan, who had been drinking with them, told Crowley to leave their home.
When Crowley, who was in a drunken daze, didn't comply, she pulled him from a chair, ran him out of the house and pushed him down some steps, according to a probable-cause affidavit filed in Superior Court in Somerset County, Maine.
Susan Watland told a Maine State Police detective that her husband shot Crowley when he lunged at her.
"Mr. Watland admitted that Mr. Crowley never threatened he or his wife verbally or physically," Detective Robin Parker wrote in the arrest affidavit. "Mr. Watland readily admitted to me that he pointed his .38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver at Wayne Crowley's head and pulled the trigger for the sole purpose of killing him."
Watland's lawyers argued that their client acted in self-defense. But Watland reportedly ignored their advice to deny guilt, instead pleading guilty to the charge, for which he was sentenced to 25 years.
In 2006, while doing time at the Maine State Prison, Watland hatched an escape plot that hinged on his wife smuggling a handgun into the prison where he would take control of a room crowded with prisoners and their visiting family and friends.
"He had real control over her; he manipulated her into helping," said Jeffrey Merrill, who was Maine State's warden at the time. "The plan was first he would shoot the guards and control the whole visiting room. (Then) he was going to start killing people until we released him. He was going to kill her as well. Oh, he was a bad dude."
The plan failed when another prisoner tipped off officials. Susan Watland was stopped by undercover officers working in the prison parking lot. She was carrying a gun.
Watland, who was sentenced to an additional 35 years in prison, was transferred to federal custody — first in Beaumont, Texas, and then to a high-security penitentiary in the Florence Correctional Complex, where Supermax is also located.
Watland, who says he is gay, arrived at U.S. Penitentiary Florence amid a struggle between white supremacist gangs seeking to control the yard at the high-security prison, Watland's lawyer Gail Johnson said, according to a transcript of a 2011 court hearing.
The Nazi Low Riders, a prison gang, was trying to force another gay inmate at the prison off the yard, Johnson told Senior U.S. District Judge John Kane, according to the transcript.
On Aug. 10, 2008, Watland walked up behind a member of the gang, Mark Baker, and stabbed him repeatedly with a homemade knife.
"Mr. Watland," Johnson said, "was operating under the view at the time that he was in a kill-or-be-killed situation."
In a note written to a fellow inmate after the incident, Watland said Baker had, in front of others, threatened to kill him.
"I know he was trying to impress people and come up," Watland said. "Now, some people may give me (grief) because I got him from behind, but I don't feel bad about that in the least. Dude was younger than me, strong. ... I'm a very respectful dude. I also, however, have zero tolerance for being disrespected."
He described the killing in another note to the same inmate, saying he "got a little lucky" that Baker had died instantly. "The thing that looks bad is that ... I walked away briefly and then went back to make an example of him and tried to stab him several times in the back."
According to court documents, he later said he was "on top of the world" after the killing. "I don't do it for thrill, but it's a bonus that I like the way it makes me feel."

The U.S. Justice Department believes America needs another big, independent beer maker to keep the cap on prices in a market where two companies, Anheuser Busch InBev NV and SAB Miller, control 65% of sales. So it's proposing to effectively create one as part of its deal to allow AB InBev to proceed with its $20.1 billion acquisition of Mexican brewer Grupo Modelo , maker of Corona beer.
The settlement deal between AB InBev and Justice, formally unveiled today, requires that Modelo sell a big brewery in Mexico to a third company, Constellation Brands Inc. And in unusual twist, the agreement requires Constellation to expand that brewery so it can provide even more Corona beer for summertime quaffing, as well as other Modelo brews popular in the U.S.
Justice's idea is that AB InBev's power to boost beer prices will be limited if Constellation expands its brewing capacity, and distribute the Corona and other Modelo brand beers independently in the U.S. — instead of depending on AB InBev to supply and distribute the Modelo brews as AB InBev had once proposed .

Plenty of companies in the food and drink business work hard on offering super-sized portions or new jumbo cans, but not Budweiser. In an interesting twist on the well-established game of packaging gimmicks, the company today released a new can for its beer.
What's interesting about the can? Well for one thing it has a design trick you're probably never seen on a can before. But here's the other thing: it contains less beer. Instead of the usual 12 ounces of Bud you might be used to, this one contains just 11.3 ounces.
The reason for the reduced portion is a pretty interesting design:

The Baltimore Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in an exciting Super Bowl that went down to the last play. Unfortunately, that last play didn't occur until more than four hours after the game started, thanks in part to a 34-minute blackout at the New Orleans Superdome. Marketers jumped on the blackout by launching real-time Twitter campaigns, Ad Age says. Meanwhile, the late ending was bad news for CBS's "Elementary," which came on much later after the game.
The outage not only affected the stadium but also CBS, which lost use of more than 80% of its cameras as well as communication with the game's broadcasters, according to SI.com. Despite being handicapped, CBS could have done more to update viewers as to what was going on, New York Daily News says. But the sharpest criticism was directed to game analyst Phil Simms. New York Times, Los Angeles Daily News and Baltimore Sun each give a big thumbs-down to the former Super Bowl MVP, saying he wasn't sharp or forceful enough with his commentary during the game.
Of course, the Super Bowl also is known for its commercials, but unlike the game, there seems to be a less clear victor. WSJ says Taco Bell and the Jeep commercial with Oprah Winfrey won the Ad Bowl, but USA Today hands the crown to Budweiser's Clydesdale commercial. Meanwhile, New York Times says the commercials were generally disappointing and a missed opportunity for marketers.
At least the reviews for Beyonce's halftime performance was more positive, and there seems to be no truth to the rumor that she caused the blackout.

Beneath today's move by the Justice Department to block AB InBev's $20 billion takeover of Mexico's Grupo Modelo is a pretty fascinating struggle taking place in the American beer industry: how the increasing purchasing power of the Latino community — and increased competitiveness of Mexican beer — is changing the game for the country's biggest brewers.
That change was pretty central to an intense product and pricing fight between AB InBev (ABI) — best known for brands like Budweiser and Michelob — and Modelo, known for beers like Corona and Modelo.
To start with, Modelo didn't play along with a long-running trend where ABI raised prices every year and its largest competitor, MillerCoors, followed with matching rises of its own. With the two companies accounting for 65% of all the beer sold in America, those price hikes are widely felt by consumers. "ABI typically initiates annual price increases in various markets with the expectation that MillerCoors' prices will follow. And they frequently do," the DOJ complaint says.
But Modelo, the number three player in the market with a 7% share, didn't go along with it. It kept prices steady on Corona, already considered a premium imported beer in the US market, making it increasingly competitive, price-wise, with domestic brands like Budweiser. And its Modelo brand, big among the large Hispanic communities in California and Texas, was also priced aggressively enough to cause headaches at ABI. Here's how the DOJ puts it (emphasis ours):
Consumers in California markets have been the beneficiaries of Modelo's aggressive pricing. ABI rescinded a planned September 2010 price increase because of the share growth of Modelo's Corona brand. ABI also considered launching a new line, "Michelob Especial," – a Modelo brand is "Modelo Especial" – targeted at California's Latino community. ABI recognized that Corona's strength in California meant that "innovation [is] required." Nonetheless, Modelo continued "eating [Budweiser's] lunch" in California to the point where ABI's Vice President of Sales observed that "California is a burning platform" for ABI, which was "losing share" because of "price compression" between ABI and Corona.
So what was Budweiser to do? More on this after the jump. Read More »

All things considered, Virginia's minty fresh new governor Bob McDonnell had about as good a first few weeks as any pearly toothed pol could ask for. He gave a platitude-filled, well-received inauguration speech, threw himself a million-dollar party, and then settled into his big comfy governor's chair and got down to the business of reversing his recent predecessor's unpopular decisions. Not only did McDonnell endear himself to full-bladdered roadtrippers everywhere by reopening the highway rest areas closed last year by a budget-conscious Tim Kaine, he also got to play tough sheriff by revoking the transfer of Jens Soering, the former University of Virginia student convicted of killing his girlfriend's parents in 1986, back to his native Germany.

I would like to know how a clan can take 4 nodes in the first half hour of clan war including TDM ( which is 26 wins) We have 12 members in our clan, so I take it we are up against clans that could have up to 13 members??? I remember reading months ago that any clan that "clan boosts" will be relegated. But with all the hackers getting around during normal play, and nothing being done about them I can't see while clan boosters will be targeted!
I think that's possible. It depends on the strategies of the clan.
The clan I am talking about, I just had a look at by clicking on them via the app n the clan war section while in my clan page, and have noticed two things. 1. They have 19 members ( nearly twice the amount of my clan) 2. Their clan name and tag changes to something totally different yet their clan emblem is the same!? The reason I am being bitchy about this is that we are half way through level 24 and haven't been able to get any clan xp in the last two clan wars due to what I think is clan boosting.

The 11 Weirdest Ways Kids Are Getting High Lately
List of weird ways to get high as reported by strange news stories all over the world. If there's one thing we've all agreed on, it's that being sober sucks. As Samuel Beckett once said, "taking coffee without brandy is like taking sex without love." That's really only tangentially related to this article, but man, what a great quote, huh? Here are some weird new ways kids have been getting high lately.

Matthew McConaughey wants you to feel good about the clothes you wear.
OK, so the shirtless wonder isn't exactly leading by example—but we're not exactly complaining, either!
In this ironic endeavor, Matthew is launching a men's activewear line which features—wait for it—all different kinds of shirts! There are quick-dry T-shirts, polo shirts, long-sleeve shirts, tops with UV protection, pullovers, windbreakers and even rash guards.
Don't worry though, Matthew's got your bottom half covered, too. The clothing line also offers oil- and water-repellent pants, flip-flops and more.
Named for Matthew and Camila's "Just Keep Livin' Foundation," which provides fitness and wellness programs for public schools, the line will simply be called "JKL." And, as if starting his own charity wasn't cool enough, the do-gooder has pledged to give 10 percent of the proceeds from the line to the foundation.
The items range from $30-$100 and will be offered exclusively at 150 Dillard's stores starting next month, branching out to other retailers in the fall.
While this is uncharted territory for the talented actor, he is excited about the project, telling Women's Wear Daily, "This is my first adventure into the fashion world…I'm enjoying it so far. I like working on the details, the design, the marketing. And I think the JKL philosophy is what makes it unique."
Matthew says that he won't be modeling the clothes himself in any official capacity, but we'll just have to keep a close eye on him to see if he sports any of the apparel in his everyday life.
Hey, it's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!

Ok, I would probably rather have the baby again than make him a birthday cake. I think the particularly saddest part of all of this is that I worked in a BAKERY for like 3 years in collge. I made and FROSTED cakes for a LIVING (which is perhaps why I finshed my job there only making like $5.05 an hour). Anyway, this is the birthday cake from last year and I am completely embarassed about it. It was cracked, the frosting wasn't as blue as i would have preferred and I am the complete loser that bought those nasty Spiderman acessories. Sigh. So, I just pulled the cake out of the oven for this year. Conner chose a rich funfetti cake, for which he should be the envy of the block… However, they're only like 1/2 in high and both have this psycho air bubble in them. I guess they're 9 inch cake pans, and I am used to 8 in cake pans… but STILL. Oh well. That would be it, on the right… Have you seen anything so pitiful. My mom can't even believe I sprung from her loins. OH well… it's just cake, and it I can make a decent fronsting, it'll all turn-out right… right?

- The benefits of Natura's investments in local development (US$3 million in 2009) and sourcing/partnership model continues to be reflected in its net income statement and growing market share.
- Decisions based on business strategies adds value to products.
- Higher consumer awareness is helping the valuation of sustainable products.
- It is possible to achieve balance between social development and economic success.
Andiroba, cupuassu, buriti and Brazil nut are well past the stage of being unknown products of the Amazon rain forest to being well-regarded natural beauty ingredients. But it is quite possible that their many benefits for skin and hair care may have remained relatively unexplored and regionally restricted if it wasn't for Natura.
More than a decade of research and investments culminated in the launch of the Natura Ekos line, which now includes 80 products, all of them developed from active ingredients of the Brazilian biodiversity. Since then, Natura's projects linked to and focused on the sustainable use of natural resources have grown so much that a specific department was created to coordinate them. That's when Marcos Vaz was chosen to be the voice of the company's sustainability projects and biodiversity management.
Sourcing Ingredients; Partnerships
Natura definitely didn't choose the easy way. "Instead of buying our raw materials from major suppliers, we decided to purchase them directly from extractive communities throughout Brazil," Vaz says. Currently, 26 groups and 2,084 families have trade agreements with the company, and most of the oils and essences used in their products are extracted from plants collected by small cooperatives and associations.
Nevertheless, the communities that succeed Natura's stringent quality control gain several benefits—beyond simply reaping income from the raw materials. All of Natura's contracts are based on benefit sharing, taking into account the use of genetic resources, intellectual property rights and traditional knowledge. This means that when Natura makes profit from a product sourced from the Brazilian biodiversity through the use of local knowledge, it must be equally shared.
Last but not least, the company claims to invest in local development—which includes improvements in infrastructure, training, handling and certification of raw materials. According to Vaz, in 2009, the total resources directed to supplier groups grew 30% to $3 million (R$5.5 million). In 2010, Natura intends to increase this value by 44%. Is all the work worth it? Guilherme Leal, former director and shareholder of the Natura since 1979, has always said the company's projects have nothing do to with welfare policies. As with any business, the ultimate goal is to make profit. "It's a combination of intelligence and opportunity. Our decisions are based on business strategies, and this adds value to products," Leal said while he was still part of Natura's board (a position from which he resigned in June 2010 when he was officially announced as Brazil's Green Party vice presidential candidate).
The success of the model chosen by Natura is reflected in its figures. The company ended 2009 with net income of $2.72 billion (R$4.9 billion), 18.6% over 2008. In the same period, its market share grew from 21.4% to 22.5%, according to the Brazilian Association of the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Industry (ABIHPEC).
Facing Barriers
In addition to developing and maintaining relationships with the communities, which is an intricate job in itself, time and bureaucracy are also obstacles for companies willing to invest in sustainable projects in Brazil. Vaz got used to dealing with these issues even before heading the sustainability department. Since joining Natura, he was responsible for product safety and technical and regulatory matters. "For a new community to be added to Natura's chain, it takes about six months of articulation with NGOs, anthropologists, independent consultants, and even the government," he says. A case involving Natura and a cooperative of producers from Esperantinópolis, in the northeast of Brazil, is an example on how delays may jeopardize projects. Aiming to replace the mineral powder used in its makeup with babassu flour, Natura first contacted the Esperantinópolis community in 2004. The trade agreement was only signed in early 2008, and the product is yet to be launched.
Vaz believes that meeting the prerequisites imposed by Brazilian law are even more complicated than closing deals with the communities. The most criticized of these prerequisites states the need of prior approval from both the local community and the government before starting any research on a new ingredient. Specialists say this not only creates expectations about a product that may never reach the market but also limits R&D resources.
Natura currently has 49 pending projects waiting for approval from the Genetic Heritage Management Council. "Such legal hurdles may culminate in an environment of vulnerability for organizations that want to develop technologies or products from the Brazilian biodiversity," says Vaz. "Several companies that could promote environmental conservation, fair trade and social development tend to abandon their projects, or [execute outside the boundaries of] the system."
Effort Pays Off in Consumer Response
The barriers, however, are offset by consumers' response. Vaz is optimistic about the level of awareness of the Brazilian people—revealed in the last Biodiversity Barometer conducted by the Union for Ethical Bio Trade (UEBT). With 94% of consumers surveyed having heard of biodiversity, Brazil appears as a champion. Out of these, more than one out of two defined the term correctly, a marked difference from consumers in Europe and the U.S. where 60% of consumers indicated they had heard of biodiversity.
According to the report, companies wishing to expand in the emerging Brazilian market should take this information to heart. UEBT's annual overview also stated beauty companies should be prepared for increased scrutiny of their biodiversity sourcing practices. To date, only 21% of the top-100 beauty companies report on biodiversity.
Projects in the Rain Forest
Since 2002, ABIHPEC has an agreement signed with the Amazon Biotechnology Center to identify and invest in research projects in the Amazon region. According to ABIHPEC president João Carlos Basilio, the demand for cosmetics with natural ingredients will keep growing. "In less than 10 years these products will no longer be just a niche in the beauty industry," says Basilio. "They will account for 15% to 20% of the sector's [sales]. If Brazil is not well-positioned in this segment, other countries will certainly be."
And they already are. Amway, Aveda and L'Occitane are examples of companies that use Brazilian active ingredients in their formulations. Before being sold to L'Óreal, The Body Shop had bought Brazil nut oil produced by the Kayapó indians for many years—conflicts between neighboring villages culminated, however, ended the partnership. "The magnitude and longevity of a company is measured by its ability to promote sustainable development to the society," says Vaz. According to him, more and more people are concerned about such issues as environmental impact, water saving, forests preservation and the reduction of carbon emissions due to global warming.
Natura's figures show that, in 2009, its emissions of greenhouse gases were reduced by 5.2%. In the same period, the company recorded its highest rate in the use of renewable raw materials: 79.2%, compared to 77.5% in 2008. "Higher consumer awareness is helping the valuation of sustainable products," Vaz concluded.
While celebrating the 10th anniversary of Natura Ekos, Natura announced its latest sustainability project: the launch of soaps containing 20–50% natural oils purchased from eight new partner communities. The program alone allowed the inclusion of 263 families in Natura's chain. "In 2009, we allocated more than R$1.3 million (US$720 thousand) for supplying communities. With the new soaps, this value is expected to increase to R$2.6 million (US$1.44 million)," Vaz says.
In 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity as declared by the United Nations, Natura continues to play its role in preserving one of the world's largest environmental heritages and shows it is possible to achieve the perfect balance between social development and economic success.
Fernanda Bonifacio is a Brazilian journalist who focuses on the beauty industry, and has been published in the U.S. and Europe. During 2002–2008, she represented ABIHPEC and its member companies globally.

One of the Best
posted 5 years ago
This is the absolute best I have seen for my older dogs. I have 4 very picky adults all with different tastes and likes/dislikes. They ALL will eat this brand without any fuss and I always see their tails wagging when I bring it out to them.
Coat shine is beautiful with this and again among varying breeds. Always see good dental when using this food and Harvey farts a lot less (hard to do with Boxers, especially the happy ones). They maintain average and above average energy levels and thats always a good thing to see.
In the end I recommend this to any person who has an adult dog (In my opinion adult means 2 and about the end of maturity). Again one of the best I have used and will always maintain a 25lb bag if not 2.
Pros: The dogs never leave any, always see a nice coat, always have good energy levels, doesnt bloat them, mixes well with water and wet food
Cons: Hard to keep enough of it

Beneful is excellent!

This is one of the best dog foods so far, in spite of the fact that it does have some food additive dye. It's one that Bud likes enough that in spite of it's cost, I watch for sales and buy it when it's on sale.
Pros: Bud loves it, it's very digestible
Cons: main issue is the dye colors in the food

We tried this on our dog. She didn't seem all that intereste in it and lost a little weight. She gravitate to Purina One. I'm sure this is a great product but it just wasn't for our dog.
Pros: Healthy brand...
Cons: just not for me

My dogs love this food
posted 7 years ago
I started feeding Beneful about 2 weeks ago to three off my dogs and they really seem to like it. A friend of mine feeds her dogs this food and has always had good results so that is why I decided to try it. It just looks like a healthy dog food. I also like the bag because it comes with a zipper seal so it helps to keep it fresh.
Pros: Looks good and my dogs like it
Cons: None
