GETTYSBURG, Pa. (October 12, 2020) – “Double-D” Danny Dietrich was just one position shy of a World of Outlaws triumph on Friday night at the Port Royal “Speed Palace,” opening the two-day Nittany Showdown at Port Royal Speedway with a runner-up performance after starting in the exact same position. Forced to chase Elk Grove, California’s Kyle Larson the entire distance, Dietrich had an opportunity to overtake the top spot during a late restart, but the mission was missed. The Gettysburg, Pennsylvania-native earned his way into the feature program by winning his respective heat race, eventually finishing second in the evening’s dash.

Although missing the top-ten, Dietrich’s route to finish 13th during the Nittany Showdown finale was most impressive, first winning the evening’s Last Chance Showdown before rallying from 21st to settle into 13th. The former Williams Grove Speedway and Lincoln Speedway champion was forced to compete in the Last Chance Showdown after finishing tenth in his Saturday night heat race; an issue with tire bleeders caused Dietrich to lose any potential to transfer.

GETTYSBURG, Pa. (October 5, 2020) – Gettysburg, Pennsylvania’s Danny Dietrich was well on his way to a top-ten performance on Saturday evening during Williams Grove Speedway’s National Open finale when a sliced right-rear tire ended all of his forward progress. 

Dietrich, 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 Chevrolet Buick GMC, Self Made, No. 48 sprint car, started 14th on the 40-lap, $75,000-to-win A-Main grid and drove himself to eighth with only nine laps recorded. Unfortunately, a cut tire during an ensuing double-file restart forced “Double-D” to retire to the work area. The former Williams Grove Speedway champion would return and recover to finish 18th.

(September 28, 2020) – Two more starts resulted in another pair of top-ten finishes for Gettysburg, Pennsylvania’s Danny Dietrich, this time scoring ninth and sixth-place outcomes during visits to Williams Grove Speedway and Selinsgrove Speedway, respectively.

Dietrich was battling for a top-five during Williams Grove’s Outlaw Tuneup on Friday when the driver of the familiar No. 48 was forced to take evasive action, completing a 360-degree spin to miss being involved in a caution; “Double-D” finished ninth. Read more »
