GETTYSBURG, Pa. (July 11, 2022) – “Double-D” Danny Dietrich put on a passing clinic Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, capping his visit to the world-famous paperclip with a podium run after starting 16th on the feature grid. To no surprise, Dietrich’s performance earned the nearby Gettysburg native the evening’s Hard Charger Award for passing the most feature cars, simultaneously bumping his season’s top-five total to 29 overall.
Forced to start deep as the result of his heat race performance, Dietrich, driver of Gary Kauffman’s Weikert’s Livestock, Sandoe’s Fruit Market, Pace Performance, Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts, Drop Of Ink Tattoo, Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC, Self Made Racing, No. 48 sprint car, rolled right through the field, getting by Dylan Norris at the white flag to secure his third-place outcome.
“It was a great recovery. We’d rather be in a better position, but those early heats are tough when the track is still narrow,” Dietrich said. “We’ll put this momentum to work when we head to Eldora.”
ON DECK:
Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing will continue their 2022 campaign with four straight programs at the world-famous Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, on Wednesday through Saturday, July 13-16.
