What won the race: Sliding ahead of Gregg Satterlee on the 10th lap, Rick Eckert of York, Pa., led the rest of Saturday's 40-lap Billy Vacek Memorial at Lincoln Speedway to earn $6,000. Eckert finished 4.425 seconds ahead of Satterlee.
Key notes: Eckert notched his first victory at Lincoln since 2013. ... Fourteen of 24 starters completed 40 laps. ...

Shawn and Lisa Martin of Viper Motorsports promoted the Super Late Model event along with Lincoln Speedway (Viper plans a ULMS-sanctioned Speedweek for 2020). ... The 40-lapper marked Lincoln's richest Late Model event since 2013. ... By virtue of his victory, Eckert secured a guaranteed starting spot in Bedford (Pa.) Speedway's Sept. 27-28 Keystone Cup. ...
