Lincoln Speedway once again proved to be one of the most demanding stops on the ICL Midget National Tour, with a full field of 53 entries taking the green flag. The night produced multiple storylines, from hard charges through the pack to championship battles tightening with every lap.
 
The race began with Parker Leek wasting little time moving forward. After slipping past Craig Silby on the inside of turn four, Leek established himself at the front of the field. He would have to fend off early pressure from Aidan Strawberry, who slotted into second, but Leek showed composure in clean air and kept control through the middle stages of the feature. His ability to hold the preferred line proved decisive, and he drove away to secure his fourth victory of the season.
 
Behind Leek, Strawberry added another strong result to his season tally with a second-place finish. While he could not track down the leader, the runner-up was crucial for extending his advantage in the championship standings. The final spot on the podium went to Craig Silby, who turned in his best result of the season with a hard-fought third. Silby showed speed throughout the night and now moves up the standings with valuable points in hand.
 
Further back, James Roselli and Luke Repsik completed the top five. Roselli’s steady run keeps him within striking distance of the top three in points, while Repsik continues to impress as a newcomer, recording his first career top five. Seth Gregory, who entered the night as one of the series’ front-runners, found himself mired in traffic after contact earlier in the event and had to settle for ninth. It was a tough break for Gregory, who also surrendered ground in the championship chase.
 
Doug Welch was the hard charger of the night, climbing multiple positions to finish 12th, while Trey Schmidt slipped back after a promising start, marking one of the tougher nights among the front half of the field.
 
With just over half the season complete, the points battle continues to heat up. Strawberry holds the lead with consistency and multiple wins, but Leek’s victory trims the margin to 36 points. Roselli maintains third while Silby’s podium vaults him into the top five for the first time this year. Gregory, after a frustrating result, slides to fourth, but he remains within a race’s reach of the leaders.
