Nouse in Lincoln victory lane for the first time ever in 358 sprints;
 

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 5/10/08 - 

Nouse, who has never had much luck in the Pigeon Hills, grabbed the lead from front row starter and race-long leader Aaron Ott on lap 12, and drove away to his first career Lincoln win.

Four laps later, Ott spun in turn two while running through lapped traffic, handing the runner-up spot to 12^th-starting Steve Owings, who ran second the rest of the way. Polesitter Matt Boland completed a good run in third, with Dale Hammaker and Gerard McIntyre, Jr. completing the top five. Completing the top ten were 15^th-starting Scott Geesey, 14^th-starting John Barnett, 17^th-starting Billy Dietrich, 21^st-starting Adrian Shaffer, and Eric Tomecek.

Mike Mansfield and Jeff Rohrbaugh were uninjured in a spectacular double-flip on turn one of their qualifying event.

Heats for the 41 "358" sprint were won by Boland, Ott, Jay Galloway and Tomecek. Twin consolations were won by Billy Dietrich and Brad McClelland.
