Newsmaker of the Week // Danny Dietrich

Danny Dietrich has not had an ideal 2026 season by his standards as he has less wins than he did at this point last year and has seemed to struggle with consistency at times.

However, “Double D” sent a strong message to his competitors last week that he is heading back in the right direction as he pocketed $8,000 in the Jack Gunn Memorial at Williams Grove Speedway Friday before storming to a $20,000 score in the Living Legends Dream Race at Port Royal Speedway the next day.

The wins were emotional for Dietrich as they were the first since losing long time supporter Charlie Graver, who passed away Aug. 18 at the age of 83.

Wearing his emotions on his sleeve all the way back to victory lane makes Danny Dietrich a Newsmaker!
