TJ Stutts Scores First-Ever Lincoln Speedway 410 Sprint A-Main Victory
Story By: LINCOLN SPEEDWAY – ABBOTTSTOWN, PA – In victory lane TJ Stutts was not shy about sharing that the World of Outlaws format is his favorite as a driver.
The format worked in Stutts’ favor on Saturday night in Lincoln Speedway’s Outlaw Tune-up. Stutts timed third quick against a field of 37 cars, won his heat, the dash and the $4,000 to win feature.
Stutts’ win was his first 410 victory at Lincoln, he has three wins in the 358 division at the track.
After winning the 6-lap dash, Stutts started on the pole. Current point leader, Alan Krimes, lined up second for the start of the 30-lap feature.
Stutts led the field into turn 1 with Krimes, Chase Dietz and Jim Siegel racing behind him.
Anthony Macri got by Dylan Cisney on the start to get into the top five. Macri got under Siegel in turns 1 and 2 on lap 4 for fourth. Freddie Rahmer went to work on Siegel for fifth.
Lapped traffic loomed ahead of Stutts on lap 6 as Krimes and Dietz battled for second. Dietz took the runner-up spot coming out of turn 4 on lap 7.
Dietz was using the high line leaving the bottom open for Krimes to stay close. Macri closed in on the top three as they worked their way through lapped traffic.
The first caution of the race came on lap 15 for Matt Campbell when he was sitting backwards in turns 1 and 2.
Stutts led Dietz, Krimes, Rahmer and Macri to the cone for the restart.
Dietz got a good run on Stutts and looked to the inside of the leader in turns 1 and 2. Dietz tried a slider in turns 3 and 4 and had the lead for a moment before Stutts took it back coming out of turn 4.
Macri got fourth back from Rahmer but Rahmer took the spot back at the line. Macri and Rahmer continued to battle as the two swapped positions multiple times each lap.
Stutts was pulling away from Dietz and the rest of the field as he caught lapped traffic again with seven laps to go.
The battle for fourth and fifth between Rahmer and Macri was still hot as the laps wound down.
Dietz closed in on Stutts with two laps to go. Dietz was all over Stutts on the last lap and gave it all he had as they raced to the checkered flag. Stutts crossed the line .064 ahead of Dietz. Krimes finished third. Rahmer got back by Macri one last time to take fourth by .001 seconds at the line.
Stutts’ win was his first in the 410 division since 2019 and he shared in victory lane, “If you would have asked me two week ago, I was ready to retire and put someone else in.” Next up at Lincoln is the first round of the PA Posse vs. World of Outlaws battle in the Gettysburg Clash on Wednesday.
Heat race winners were Anthony Macri, Dylan Cisney, TJ Stutts and Alan Krimes.
