Not only were the temperature conditions brutal on Saturday night at the fabulous Lincoln Speedway in New Oxford, PA reaching below freezing, but the passing circumstances on the track made it complicated for Brian to get to where he needed to be…the front.
The Premier Auto Works Racing Team started the night off with their Triple X chassis on Lincoln Speedway's 3/8-mile dirt oval by finishing 4th in his heat after starting 7th. This finish landed him a 11th starting spot for the feature.
After battling wheel to wheel with other drivers throughout the A-main, Montieth finished with a ninth place effort on Saturday making this his first top 10 finish at the track since his opening day win.
Brian will head for another weekend of racing at Williams Grove this Friday night and also return to action Saturday at Lincoln Speedway.

Montieth Cracks the Ice at Lincoln
No one said starting on the pole of a 30 lap race was going to be easy, but Brian Montieth sure did make it look that way as he led all 30 laps of the Icebreaker at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday afternoon. It was his race to loose and he wasn’t giving this one up.
This was the first race of the season for Montieth and his first race back in the states after competing down under over the holidays. After he struggled to find his edge in Australia, he sure brought his A -game on Saturday to crack the ice for the new season.
Brian started seventh his heat and quickly advanced to the front to lock down a second place finish for the heat. The top three drivers from each heat were able to re-draw for starting spots in the 30 lap feature. Low and behold, Brian drew the number one spot and was able to start on the pole.
After what seemed to be a marathon event, caution after caution, Brian remained calm hitting his marks every lap holding off big contenders like Daryn Pittman and Adam Wilt to scores his 21st career win at Lincoln Speedway.
