Lincoln Speedway is a 3/8th-mile, high-banked clay oval race track that has been in operation for over 60 years.[1] The track continues to host events for 358 & 410 Sprint Cars. During the 1950's and 1960's the track hosted seven different events for NASCAR including the Pennsylvania 200.

As of Ice Breaker Weekend, February 24-25, 2024, Lincoln Speedway has adopted a new virtual flagging system for use in races.[2] The new system uses LED message boards at the start-finish line and lighting systems around the speedway to alert drivers and spectators of important on-track happenings, like green, yellow and red flags. This new feature will remove the flagman from trackside, keeping them out of harms' way.[3]
