GETTYSBURG, Pa. (September 30, 2019) – It was another successful weekend for Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing in Central Pennsylvania, and like many of his recent outings, the Gettysburg-native highlighted weekend action with a runner-up finish, this time at the ‘Fabulous’ Lincoln Speedway on Saturday, September 28.
Missing the trip to victory lane by less than a second, Dietrich’s runner-up performance was not from a lack of trying. In fact, the 14-time winner in 2019 started from the outside-pole position and battled for the lead the entire 25-lap distance. Ryan Smith, no longer skunked in the Pigeon Hills, was the Saturday night winner.
Dietrich’s recent weekend ignited with a sixth place run during Williams Grove Speedway’s World of Outlaws Tune-Up on Friday, September 27; a perfect test session for the upcoming National Open.
“I’m sure tired of finishing second,” Danny Dietrich said, driver of the Gary Kauffman Racing/Weikert’s Livestock/Sandoe’s Fruit Market/Pace Performance/Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts/Drop Of Ink Tattoo/Sweeney Cars/Self Made/No. 48 sprint car. “We wanted one more spot at Lincoln, and we were close. The plan is to accomplish that feat twice this weekend.”
Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing will continue their 2019 season with a return to Williams Grove Speedway on Friday and Saturday, October 4 & 5, this time joining the Greatest Show On Dirt for the annual National Open. Carrying a $75,000 potential, Dietrich will battle the Outlaws for a $10,000 share on Friday, followed by an historic $65,000 top prize on Saturday; the largest payday in Williams Grove Speedway history. Dietrich is certainly no stranger to finding success with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and owns one victory with the travelers in 2019, that occurring in the Garden State in mid-May.
