ABBOTTSTOWN, Pa. — Lincoln Speedway hosted its “Outlaw Tune-Up” on Saturday night, serving as the final test ahead of the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series’ first Pennsylvania appearance of the season.
With Outlaw competitors Logan Schuchart and Cole Macedo in the field, along with NASCAR star Kasey Kahne behind the wheel of the Macri No. 39m, the 35-lap feature delivered a high-energy preview of what’s to come.
Cameron Smith and Schuchart brought the field to green, with Smith grabbing the early advantage into turn one. Schuchart settled into second, while Chase Dietz quickly positioned himself in third. Behind them, Freddie Rahmer moved into fourth, with Kody Hartlaub holding off pressure from Troy Wagaman and Logan Rumsey.
Lapped traffic became a factor just seven laps into the race, allowing Schuchart to close in on Smith as both worked the top groove. Schuchart began searching for speed on the bottom, but a caution on lap nine for a spin by Domenic Melair reset the field.
On the restart, Dietz made a strong move to the inside in turn one to take over second. Moments later, Schuchart’s night came to an end when he backed into the wall in turn one, bringing out a red flag on lap 10 and shaking up the running order.
Back under green, Smith maintained the lead with Dietz in pursuit and Rahmer in third. Wagaman made an aggressive charge, and got past Hartlaub for fourth. As the race crossed the midway point, lapped traffic once again tightened the battle at the front, bringing Smith, Dietz, and Rahmer together in a three-way fight for the lead.
Smith briefly created separation by navigating traffic, but Dietz reeled him back in as they worked through lapped traffic. With lapped cars racing side-by-side ahead of the leaders, the top four—Smith, Dietz, Rahmer, and Wagaman—were all in contention.
A caution on lap 28 for a spin by Wagaman, who had just taken over third at the line, set up a pivotal restart. Smith led Dietz, Rahmer, Hartlaub, and Macedo back to green, but it was Dietz who seized the moment. Carrying momentum down the backstretch, he powered into the lead and never looked back.
Behind him, Macedo advanced into fourth, while Rumsey worked his way past Hartlaub to claim fifth in the closing laps.
Lincoln Speedway kicked off the Mamma’s Pizza Summer Series on Saturday night with a 25-lap feature that saw another dominant performance from a familiar face, as Cody Fletcher remained unbeaten at the track in 2026.
