GETTYSBURG, Pa. — Danny Dietrich will have a busy schedule of sprint car racing across the country this year.
The Gary Kauffman Racing driver is set to wheel his usual No. 48 sprint car in 100-plus races, highlighted with major blockbuster events such as Ohio Sprint Speedweek, Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek and the coveted Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway. The news was first reported by Tyler Altmeyer of Fully Injected Motorsports.
Dietrich’s schedule begins in the Sunshine State at Volusia Speedway Park and East Bay Raceway Park in February.
“We have a big schedule planned. A few dates are still ‘to be determined,’ but it’s our goal to compete in most of what we have highlighted,” Dietrich said. “We have a lot of great partners, most of which have been a part of our Gary Kauffman Racing family for a long time.
“It’s our job to go out and give them the exposure that they deserve and we feel this is the right plan of attack to do so.”
Despite his schedule including major road trips to Florida and Iowa, the bulk of Dietrich’s agenda will be contested in the heart of Pennsylvania Posse country, making frequent appearances at Williams Grove Speedway, Lincoln Speedway, Port Royal Speedway and BAPS Motor Speedway.
The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series and High Limit Racing will invade the Keystone State on several occasions during the new year, with Dietrich planning to compete in every race.
“There’s a lot of racing close to home and we plan to take full advantage of that,” Dietrich added. “The goal is to win races…everything else can come second.”
