The driver leading on lap 19 will be $1,900 richer at the end of the night.
โWeโre excited to honor Steve with an amazing event at Lincoln. Steveโs legacy is so important to Lincoln Speedway and sprint car racing as a sport,โ said Jerry Parrish, General Manager at Lincoln Speedway. He continued, โWe have some great sponsors for this event and of course we could not have done it without Steveโs family, they have put in a lot of work to make this a marquee event in Central PA.โ
โOur family is very thankful for our many contributing supporters who were able to assist us in making this special event come together,โ shared Brian Leppo on behalf of JoAnn and the family. โConewago coming onboard as the Presenting Sponsor was a game changer for the event. Steve enjoyed a successful racing career all across our PA tracks and beyond, but he called Lincoln Speedway his home track. Thank you to Lincoln for hosting the Black Bandit Tribute race. A lot of effort was put in to offer the drivers and teams all the bells and whistles so to speak in honor of our Hall of Fame driver. Steve became a Legend with a tremendous amount of success at Lincoln. We wanted to make this event special with added incentives that all teams could possibly benefit from with this race. With the final purse and additional bonus itโs looking like a fantastic night at the Fabulous Lincoln Speedway for the Black Bandit Tribute race. We are really looking forward to June 4th.โ
