Danny Dietrich continued his dream season at Lincoln Speedway Saturday evening.
Dietrich collected $5,000 for winning the 30-lap All Star Circuit of Champions race. The win was Dietrich's fourth of the season at Lincoln and fifth overall. It also gave him Lincoln wins against the World of Outlaws and All Stars in less than a month's time.
Front-row starters Tim Shaffer and Fred Rahmer raced wheel to wheel for the lead for three quarters of the first lap, before Alan Krimes surprised them with a three-wide move off Turn 4 for the lead. Krimes, who started third, held the lead until the 12th lap, when Dietrich, who started fourth, took command and drove away. He won the non-stop feature event in a time of 8 minutes, 33.558 seconds.
Krimes finished second, with Rahmer in third. York's Cory Haas and Aaron Ott completed a Pennsylvania Posse sweep of the top five. Rounding out the top 10 were Stevie Smith, Shaffer, Dale Blaney, Cap Henry and Paul McMahon.
Defending NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart won a heat race and finished 17th in the feature.
Rookie Shane Hoff led all 20 laps to win the 358 sprint feature, his first at Lincoln and second overall this season. Keith Prutzman finished second, with Franklintown's Brie Hershey in third. Niki Young and Dover's Tim Berkheimer completed the first five. Rounding out the top 10 were Ryan Wilson, Doug Hammaker, Todd Rittenhouse Jr., Hanover's Cris Eash and Tyler Ross.
PIT STOPS
LEPPO TRIUMPHS AT GROVE: Friday at Williams Grove, Brian Leppo, driving the Zemco sprinter for a one-night deal, came out on top of a torrid battle to score the All Star victory.
Leppo's second overall win of the season was also worth $5,000.
Leppo and Brian Montieth swapped the lead numerous times during the 30-lap contest, with Leppo credited with leading laps 1-11 and 22-30. That 22nd lap saw the two drivers swap the lead four times, before Leppo regained command. Montieth ran out of fuel on a 27th-lap restart, bottling up the field and sending York's Cory Haas flipping wildly. Haas was pretty bruised, but raced again the next night.
Stevie Smith finished second, with Thomasville's Greg Hodnett in third. Shaffer and Donnie Kreitz Jr. completed the top five. Lance Dewease, Dietrich, David Gravel, Brent Marks and Ryan Bohlke completed the top 10.

Wilbur bested Lewisberry's Scott Dellinger for the win, with Mike Enders, Frankie Herr and Rick Barr in the top five. Rounding out the top 10 were Steve Fannasy, John Stoner, Carmen Perigo Jr., Wellsville's Scott Geesey and Dover's Lanny Hake.
