8.25.18 All Star Sprints Results

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA 8/25/2018 – The rivalry between the PA Posse sprinters and the rest of the world is real.

“Going into tonight I was just hoping to have a solid run,” Lemoore, CA racer Carson Macedo said after a traditional wing dance in victory lane. “But to get the win, man…!”

21 year old fourth-generation driver Carson Macedo from Lemoore, CA came, saw, and upheld the pride of the traveling All Star Circuit of Champion sprinters Saturday night by picking up his third All Star win of the year, and his first-ever at the Fabulous Lincoln Speedway in the 30-lap $5,000-to-win event.

“To get back into victory lane with the All Stars, it’s been a little while,” Macedo said with a smile in victory lane. “It’s pretty cool…it feels amazing for me, being a kid who grew up in California. Pennsylvania is probably the biggest adjustment by far and after the past few nights of racing I realized the PA Posse guys will beat you down for sure”.

After some years of Posse domination at the Abbottstown oval against all who came to take on the vaunted PA Posse, the All Stars came loaded for bear this night. And there were others.

Also on hand to take on the Posse were former 3-time NASCAR Champion Tony Stewart (2002, 2005, 2011), and current NASCAR and sprint car sensation Kyle Larson. Add Dave Blaney, a former World of Outlaw Champion (1995) and NASCAR racer. So did Western PA racer Tim Shaffer, who is former All Star Champion (2009-2012) and Knoxville Nationals winner (2010).

The field was stout by any standards.

Macedo, a rising star with the traveling All Stars, had picked up back-to-back wins on June 9th and 10th in New York. But it had been nearly a month and half since those wins and he was hungry for one Saturday night. But it wasn’t going to be easy.

Macedo led the opening six laps from his outside front row starting position, only to have third-starting Freddie Rahmer get by him on the 7th lap in lapped traffic.

Macedo didn’t give up though and desperately tried to keep pace with Rahmer who had won the night before against the All Stars at Williams Grove.

Macedo also had to worry about Elk Grove, CA Kyle Larson and Tim Shaffer who were right behind him in third and fourth place respectively nearly the entire distance.

After getting close to Rahmer on a few occasions but not quite able to make the pass, Macedo got his big break, literally.

Entering turn three with three laps to go, Rahmer’s sprinter erupted in a plume of smoke, and slowed to a stop. This handed the lead back over to Macedo with Larson, Shaffer, Aaron Reutzel and 14th-starting Brian Montieth on his bumper.

“Freddie (Rahmer) is obviously really good here and is really good at rotating the bottom,” Said Macedo. “When I saw him get by be in traffic I knew I was going to have pick my marks and hope it opened up a little up there. Luckily it did and I caught back up to him there…but I don’t know if I could have got back around him.

Montieth got the local fans on their feet on the restart as he quickly got around Reutzel for fourth place. But Macedo did not falter the final three laps and took the checkered after 30 laps for the win.

“My crew did an awesome job tonight,” Macedo added. ”We were a little bit off in time trials and just adjusted throughout the night and just got so good as the night went on.”

Larson and Shaffer completed their podium finishes in second and third place. Montieth was the top PA Posse finisher in fourth place and was followed by sixth-starting Reutzel in fifth.

Completing the top-10 were eighth-starting Gerard McIntyre, Jr., 13th-starting Cory Haas, seventh-starting Ryan Smith, 17th-starting Alan Krimes, and ninth-starting Chad Trout.
