Brad McClelland raced to his first victory of the season Saturday evening at Lincoln Speedway.
McClelland collected $3,200 for his second career sprint-car win.
McClelland started fourth and chased rookie sprint-car driver Robbie Kendall for half of the 25-lap distance before taking over the top spot. He went on to score the win over Kendall, who got the best finish of his young career. Spring Grove's Tim Glatfelter finished third, with Jim Siegel and York's Cory Haas in the top five. Rounding out the top 10 were Brent Marks, Fred Rahmer, Chad Criswell, Ryan Bohlke and Steve Owings.
Manchester's Austin Hogue got his first Lincoln 358 sprint-car win in a 20-lap feature. Hogue had charged from the 11th starting spot to third by the 14th lap, when a bizarre set of circumstances handed him the lead. Under a caution flag, leader Joey Allen, of Hanover, had his car suffer a gear box problem at the same time the second-place runner, York's Tim Berkheimer, Hogue's cousin, had his throttle stick wide open. Both Allen and Berkheimer were able to stop without incident, but both were done for the night.
From that point Hogue had to fend off determined rookie Tyler Ross for the win. Niki Young finished third, followed by York's Jeff Rohrbaugh and Hanover's Cris Eash. Rounding out the top 10 were Hanover's Tim Wagaman, Todd Rittenhouse Jr., Ryan Wilson, Mike Bittinger and Nathan Berwager.
Duane Watson charged from the 12th starting spot to claim his third 20-lap thundercar feature win of the season. Kyle Martin finished second, with early leader Jimmy Combs in third. Danny Beard and Jason Townsend completed the top five.
