The weekend racing slate was once again affected by rain, but several local tracks did manage to get their events in.
At Lincoln Speedway, Hanover’s Dylan Norris drove to his first win of the season in the 30-lap 410 sprint car feature. Norris’ win, worth $4,000, came one week shy of a year after his only other Lincoln 410 victory.
