Lincoln History: 10 Races, 8 Winners

In those 10 all-time ICL Super Late Model races at Lincoln, we’ve seen eight different winners. That’s a big sign that this track doesn’t hand anything out—speed matters, but so does navigating restarts, lapped traffic, and late-race pressure.

The headline:

Tucker Halliday is the only multi-time winner at Lincoln with 3 wins here. Everyone else on the winner list has one.

The Favorites: Proven at Lincoln, Built for a Points Opener

Tucker Halliday

If you’re picking a “Lincoln specialist,” start here:

  • 6 starts

  • 3 wins (50% win rate) — most at Lincoln

  • 2.8 average finish

  • 83% Top-5 rate and 100% Top-10 rate

In a season opener where points discipline matters, Halliday’s Lincoln résumé screams “safe bet to contend.”

Colton Zimmer

Zimmer may be the most consistent Lincoln performer in the field:

  • 8 starts (most among the drivers shown)

  • 2.5 average finish

  • 100% Top-5 rate and 100% Top-10 rate

  • Strong forward progress: +1.9 average positions gained

He doesn’t just finish well—he regularly moves forward, which is exactly how you avoid a points hole in Race 1.

Brandon Holtmeier

Don’t overlook Holtmeier when the speed shows up early:

  • 3 starts

  • 1 win

  • 118.2 average rating (best among the top contenders listed)

  • 33% pole rate

  • 36% of laps led

When Holtmeier’s in the mix, he’s not just surviving—he’s controlling chunks of the race.

Past Lincoln Winner Spotlight: Christopher Joy

Lincoln was a statement track for Christopher Joy last season, and the track stats back up the “when he shows up, he can dominate” storyline:

  • 1 Lincoln start

  • 1 win

  • Led all 35 laps in that appearance (100% laps led)

That’s as “proof of pace” as it gets—especially heading into another Lincoln opener.

The Danger Zone: Drivers Who Can Win, But Don’t Need Much Help

Bob Klein

A sneaky serious threat if he’s in the lobby:

  • 2 starts

  • 1 win

  • 50% pole rate

  • 56% of laps led

Klein has shown he can qualify up front and keep the air clean—huge at Lincoln.

Jordan Lafon

If you’re watching for a charger, Lafon is the one:

  • 2 starts

  • 1 win

  • Massive +3.0 average positions gained

That’s the biggest average “move forward” number on the board—perfect for a track that rewards the drivers who can slice through traffic without chaos.

Brayden E Carter

Carter is the classic high-ceiling, high-drama pick:

  • 2 starts

  • 1 win

  • 29 fast laps (60%) — eye-popping pace

  • 67% laps led

But with an average finish of 9.5, the story is clear: if things go smoothly, he can be untouchable—if not, Lincoln can bite.

Logan Rumsey2

Small sample, but impossible to ignore:

  • 1 start

  • 1 pole / 1 win

  • 100% laps led

If Rumsey returns, the track history says he knows exactly what it takes to seal the deal here.

Hayden Tollison

If Race 1 turns into a “keep it clean and cash points” kind of night, Tollison fits the profile:

  • 3 starts

  • 3-for-3 Top-10s (100% Top-10 rate)

  • 0 incidents recorded in those starts

  • 29% laps led

That’s a combination of discipline and speed that plays extremely well in an opener.

What To Watch For in Race 1

  • Early track position vs. late moves: Lincoln rewards clean air, but the stats show multiple drivers consistently gain spots here—moving forward is possible if you stay smart.

  • Restarts: This is where Lincoln races often flip, especially late.

  • Points mindset: With a full season ahead (and money on the line in final standings), the opener can be about maximizing points as much as swinging for the win.

Race Entry Reminder

  • Open to all

  • No sign-up required

  • Found under public lobbies

  • ICL VIP required for payout eligibility (including the Season 2 Top-5 standings payout)
