GETTYSBURG, Pa. (May 4, 2020) โ€“ In an attempt to win in Iowa and Pennsylvania in the same weekend, Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing will activate the month of May in a big way, first joining the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series at Knoxville Raceway on Friday, May 8, followed by the โ€˜Posse Unleashedโ€™ program at Selinsgrove Speedway on Saturday, May 9.

โ€˜Double-Dโ€™ fans should not be surprised by the teamโ€™s plan to complete the near-2000 mile round trip, as it has been done before.

โ€œThis is no issue,โ€ Dietrich said of the weekend plan, driver of the Gary Kauffman Racing/Weikertโ€™s Livestock/Sandoeโ€™s Fruit Market/Pace Performance/Big Cove Whitetail Trophy Hunts/Drop Of Ink Tattoo/Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC/Self Made/No. 48 sprint car. โ€œWe raced at Port Royal on a Saturday and made it to Knoxville for the Capi Classic the next night, so this wonโ€™t be much different. We just want to race, so weโ€™ll do whatever it takes to make that happen. There are a lot of people who help make this possible. Our partners deserve to be seen. This is the only way to make that happen.โ€

The weekend carries a $14,000 potential for the 2020 Lincoln Speedway Icebreaker winner, as the World of Outlaws program at Knoxville Raceway awards a $10,000 top prize and Selinsgroveโ€™s โ€˜Posse Unleashedโ€™ awards $4,000. Although no fans will be permitted to attend, each event will be broadcast live on the internet; Knoxville on DIRTVision and Selinsgrove Speedway on The Cushion.

Any Danny Dietrich and Gary Kauffman Racing updates will be posted as they become available. An upcoming schedule beyond May 8-9 remains uncertain at this time.
