ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 7/3/2010 - There was no catching Scott Geesey in the 20-lap "358" sprint car feature at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night.
Geesey started on the pole and led every lap en route to his first win of the season, becoming the seventh different winner in eight 2010 events at the Pigeon Hills oval.
Third-starting Chad Trout was scored second every lap, and pulled alongside the Credit Connection #18 several times. But with a narrow track, Trout was never able to muster up the traction to make the pass.
"I kinda knew that with Chad behind me, he wasn’t going to try anything dumb," said a happy Geesey in victory lane, "If he was leading, he would have know the same thing."
"With the track the way it was, it was just rubber down, and you gotta get to the lead first," continued Geesey, "I’m just happy to win. The other week I thought we were going to win and Stevie (Storrie) beat me out, and he did a real good job. Chad a heck of a racer and all-around great guy at the race track and away from the race track. It’s great to beat him, but it wouldn’t have bothered me to run second to him."
Trout settled for second, with Tim Wagaman, Keith Prutzman, and Logan Schuchart completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were 12th-starting Brook Weibley, Scott Fisher, Eric Tomecek, Billy Johns, and John Barnett.
It was Geesey’s second career Lincoln 358 sprint win, to go along with one 410 win in the Pigeon Hills.
Heats for the 43 "358" Sprints were won by Barnett, Geesey, Jay Galloway, and Wagaman. Twin consolations were won by Adrian Shaffer and Steve Owings.
