Zentmyer holds off Watson to claim first career Lincoln thundercar win

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 8/29/09 - It was a tale of two races at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night. And the more things changed, the more they stayed the same.

Defending track champ Brian Montieth didn’t take kindly to being edged by 23rd-starting Fred Rahmer for sixth at the line of the first of Twin 20's for the 410 sprint cars and losing the points lead to second-place finisher Alan Krimes. So he went out and won the second feature.

The irony was that Montieth’s seventh-place finish (eight-thousandths of-a-second behind Rahmer) put Montieth up one row to sixth starting spot for the second feature event.

Montieth passed polesitter Bobby Weaver for third by the end of the fourth lap, then caught Cory Haas for second on a 10th-lap restart. He pulled onto the back bumper of race-long leader Johnny Mackison, Jr. during a 13th-lap caution for a spinning Brian Leppo in turn four, and chased the B&B Metal Refinishing #65 for the next two lap before making the race-winning pass under Mackison coming off turn four of lap 14.
