GETTYSBURG, Pa. (August 13, 2019) – Danny Dietrich’s trip to the Hawkeye State was productive, as well as successful, and although the Gettysburg, Pennsylvania-native was forced to cut his Knoxville Nationals campaign short after getting upside-down during heat race action on Friday, August 9, Dietrich left Iowa with a top-ten performance; a ninth place run during Terry McCarl’s Front Row Challenge at Southern Iowa Speedway on Monday, August 5.
“Honestly, that was probably the best I ever raced at Knoxville, I just don’t have the end-result to prove that. It was a fun trip for our team. We showed a lot of speed at certain times and that made the trip worthwhile,” 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 have a lot left on our schedule. We’ll see what we can do.”
Danny Dietrich’s Knoxville Nationals campaign consisted of recording the fourth fastest time during preliminary time trials, but a missed transfer position during his respective heat race, followed by a fifth place run during the evening’s B-Main, ruined all hope to be locked-in for Saturday’s $150,000-to-win finale. It was during Friday’s Hard Knox program, a last chance for teams to qualify for Saturday’s main event, that Dietrich tumbled and ultimately scratched.
Up next on the schedule, Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing will participate in a Central Pennsylvania trio, first visiting Williams Grove Speedway on Saturday, August 16, followed by a stop at the ‘Fabulous’ Lincoln Speedway on Saturday, August 17. The 12-time winner in 2019 will cap his weekend with the Third Annual Armin Hostetter Memorial at Trail-Way Speedway on Sunday, August 18.
