LIMA, Ohio — Danny Dietrich won his second Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 feature of the week during round eight of Cometic Gasket Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Hercules Tires at Limaland Motorsports Park.
Leading every circuit of the 25-lap program, Dietrich was relatively untouchable, utilizing the pole to jump ahead before sailing off for a $6,000 payday.
The Gettysburg, Pa., native and ace of the Gary Kauffman Racing/Weikert’s Livestock/Sweeney Cars/No. 48 sprint car is now a 17-time winner with America’s Series, bumping his individual track list to 13.
“Hats off to everyone here tonight, especially the fans for hanging tough while the Series figured some things out,” Dietrich said. “Regardless, I can’t thank my team enough for their hard work this week. We love coming to Ohio Speedweek. The fans out here have done nothing but treat me like one of their own and I’m incredibly thankful for it. We have a big one tomorrow night at Portsmouth, so our plan is to head back home to Pennsylvania with some more hardware.”
Dietrich’s only real distraction during Lima’s 25-lapper was a run-in with traffic in the closing circuits, forced to check up while slower cars battled two and three wide.
Parker Price-Miller, who pressured Dietrich late while maneuvering through traffic, finished second on the Lima quarter-mile, followed by Brent Marks, Tyler Courtney and Cap Henry.
Jeff Koz won the modified feature.
