Spectacular Month of June Highlights 2022 Season: 31 Race Dates along with Tractor & Truck Pull and Monster Trucks
Abbottstown, PA (January 1, 2022) โ The 2022 season schedule for Pennsylvaniaโs Lincoln Speedway is highlighted by 31 appearances between its two premier sprint car divisions, the 410 and 358 sprints. Back again for 2022 is the tractor and truck pull along with the Crownstone Equipment Monster Truck Freedom Fest.
The recently announced Steve Smith Tribute Race on June 4 is slated to be the highest paying non-sanctioned race for the 410 sprint cars at Lincoln in 2022. The marquee event will pay $19,000 to win in honor of the Black Banditโs famous #19 sprint car.
Lincoln Speedway will host 14 different divisions during its 70th season, with 29 dates for the 410 sprints and 16 dates for the 358 sprints. The 410 sprints will start their season with the $5,000-to-win โIce Breaker 30โ on February 26th. The 358 sprints will hit the clay for the first time on March 19th. Both sprint car divisions will end their season on October 15th at the Turner Automotive Night of Champions. Once again, the points battle will run until the final race of the season. New races this year featuring both sprint divisions include Golf Cart Services Night on April 16th, Messick Equipment Night on May 21, Rack Daddie Rumble on July 30 and the Elijah Hawkins Memorial on September 3. The super late models will headline the Lazer Late Model Clash on October 8.
On April 23 during Gene Latta Ford โWheel of Fortuneโ Night, the winner of the 410 sprint feature will spin a wheel in victory lane to increase their $4,000 winnings to $5,000, $6,000 or $7,000. Another addition to the schedule for the 410 sprint cars is the $5,000 to win Freedom Off-Road Speedweek Tune-up on June 18. The entire 2022 schedule is available online at www.lincolnspeedway.com/schedule and at the end of this release.
The midgets will return to Lincoln twice in 2022 under the ARDC sanction. You can catch them in the Pigeon Hills on June 4th and August 20th.
