DANNY DIETRICH AND DOUG HAMMAKER END 2022 SEASON IN VICTORY LANE; 2022 Special Awards Announced
Saturday & Sunday, February 25-26, 2023 ICE BREAKER WEEKEND
Abbottstown, PA (October 15, 2022) – Danny Dietrich scored his sixth win of the season and the 61st win of his career at Lincoln on Saturday night at the Dean’s Auto Plaza Night of Champions. Dietrich lined up third for the feature and after battling Buddy Kofoid, took over the lead on lap 12, “Buddy’s not easy to beat, he’s going to sliders, he’s got that midget mentality where they like to slide or die.”
The 30-lap feature had three red flags that led to an open red with 8 laps to go. When asked if he made any changes under the red Dietrich responded with, “a lot.”
Danny closed out the season with a $5,000 win thanks to Dean’s Auto Plaza, “This thing was just so much fun to drive. Its just fun to get this thing in victory lane and finish off the season with a win.”
Lucas Wolfe and Buddy Kofoid shared the front row for the drop of the green flag with Wolfe leading the field into turn 1. Kofoid was all over Wolfe coming out of turn 2 and got a run on Lucas to lead lap 1. Dietrich passed Wolfe for second on lap 2.
Matt Campbell and Kyle Moody raced side by side for fourth with Campbell taking the spot on lap 3. Moody took fourth back on lap 4 with the two continuing to battle for position. Campbell once again took it back on lap 7.
The yellow flag flew on lap 8 for Glenndon Forsythe just as Kofoid had reached lapped traffic.
The top five for the restart were Kofoid, Dietrich, Wolfe, Campbell and Moody.
Dietrich went to the top on the restart and nearly got a run on Kofoid but did not make the pass. Campbell got by Wolfe for third.
The red flag came out on lap 9 for Brandon Rahmer who got upside down in turns 3 and 4.
Kofoid led Dietrich, Campbell, Wolfe and Moody to the cone for the single file restart. Kofoid went high to take away Dietrich’s charge. The yellow came out again on lap 10 when Aaron Bollinger came to a stop in turn 2, Bollinger had been running seventh.
Dietrich slid Kofoid for the lead on the restart but Kofoid reclaimed the top spot down the back stretch. Dietrich stayed close and took the lead on lap 12. Buddy stuck with him and tried a slider in turn 2 to reclaim the lead but it did not stick.
Dallas Schott got upside down in turn 4 bringing out the red flag on lap 14.
Dietrich, Kofoid, Campbell, Wolfe and Rahmer led the field on the restart. Lucas got by Campbell to reclaim third. Rahmer followed and also passed Wolfe to take the third spot, sending Campbell back to fifth.
Moody was looking for a way back into the top five but couldn’t find a way around Campbell. Moody tried a slider and took the spot lap 21.
Just as Dietrich caught the tail end of the field on lap 22, Riley Emig got upside down in turns 3 and 4 bringing out the third red flag of the race.
After an open red for the teams Dietrich led Kofoid, Rahmer, Wolfe and Moody on the restart. Kofoid went low on the restart and tried a slider with no luck. Wolfe passed Rahmer for third. Kofoid tried yet another slider unsuccessfully allowing Dietrich to pull away.
Lapped traffic would not come into play before the checkered flag for the leaders. Dietrich crossed the line .730 seconds ahead of Kofoid. Wolfe finished third and the 2022 Track Champion, Freddie Rahmer, was fourth. Moody completed the top five.
