GETTYSBURG, Pa. (September 3, 2024) – Port Royal Speedway’s Labor Day Classic ended in heartbreak for Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing fans, and although the team salvaged for a top-ten score – tenth officially in the 25-lapper – their winning potential was obvious, racing for the lead before a cut tire ended hope for triumph.
Despite the fact, “Double-D” is eager for redemption, set to tackle the Port Royal Speedway “Speed Palace” once again in the upcoming Tuscarora 50 Weekend set for Thursday through Saturday, September 5-7. Saturday’s finale will award a $57,000 top prize.
No stranger to big money at the Juniata County Fairgrounds, Danny Dietrich is the reigning Bob Weikert Memorial champion worth $76,500.
“I think that race was ours to win,” Dietrich said of the Labor Day Classic. “I feel like we’ve had a lot of instances like that this year. We’ll look for some redemption this weekend.”
COMING UP NEXT:
Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing will continue their 2024 campaign with Port Royal (Pa.) Speedway’s coveted Tuscarora 50, sanctioned by High Limit Racing, on Thursday through Saturday, September 5-7. Saturday’s finale will award $57,000-to-win.
