By Fully Injected Motorsports:
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (June 20, 2022) – “Double-D” Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing represented Pennsylvania Posse fans proudly during their nine-race Ohio Sprint Speedweek campaign featuring the All Star Circuit of Champions, not only capping the week third in the overall Speedweek standings, but recording a pair of victories in the process including the Bert and Brigitte Emick Classic at Attica Raceway Park on Friday, June 10. The Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, native went on to score his second victory of Ohio Sprint Speedweek during action at Limaland Motorsports Park on Friday, June 17, leading all 25 circuits for another $6,000 payday.
In addition to his victories at Attica Raceway Park and Limaland Motorsports Park, other highlights include a seventh-place run at Fremont Speedway on Sunday, June 12, another seventh-place run at Wayne County Speedway on Monday, June 13, a runner-up finish at Atomic Speedway on Wednesday, June 15, an eighth-place finish at Waynesfield Raceway Park on Thursday, June 16, and a runner-up finish in the $20,554-to-win Dean Knittel Memorial/Speedweek finale at Portsmouth Raceway on Saturday, June 18.
Although eventually taking a back seat to race winner and fellow Pennsylvania native, Brent Marks, Dietrich drove to the front in Portsmouth’s Speedweek finale, leading a single circuit over Clauson Marshall Racing’s Tyler Courtney before being passed by Marks. “Double-D” did his best to pressure Marks in the final three circuits, but time was short.
“What a week,” Danny Dietrich said, 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, Racer’s New & Used Parts Warehouse, East Park Automotive Inc., RV 4 Wheel Drive & Performance Automotive Inc, No. 48 sprint car. “I love racing in Ohio. We’ve always enjoyed being a part of Speedweek and the fans treat me like one of their own. We’re already looking forward to the opportunity to do it again next year.”
Dietrich’s pair of Ohio Sprint Speedweek victories bumps his overall season total to eight, five of which at the “Fabulous” Lincoln Speedway.
