Abbottstown, PA (April 16, 2022) – Danny Dietrich’s third win of the season came with a new 30-lap track record. Dietrich ran 30 non-stop laps in just 7:44.249, besting the previous record set by Brian Montieth in 2012 of 7:52.696, by nearly 8.5 seconds. The top four feature finishers (Dietrich, Devon Borden, Alan Krimes and Austin Bishop) all bested the previous record.
Dietrich lined up eighth for the start of the feature and was up to third by lap 3. Danny got by Devon Borden for second and made quick work of Austin Bishop and took the lead on lap 11. After taking the lead, Dietrich found himself in heavy lapped traffic, “I was just biding my time there through traffic. It seemed like we lapped a lot of cars. I was just trying not to make a mistake.” Dietrich did not make any mistakes as he made his way through lapped traffic, “It was getting pretty treacherous around the top. The track’s pretty dag-on good.”
Saturday’s win was Dietrich’s third in the pigeon hills this year, “This car’s just really fast and fun to drive.” The victory was Danny’s 58th at the track putting Dietrich 6th on the all-time win list, just 8 wins behind Brian Montieth.
Tyler Esh shared the front row with rookie of the year contender Michael Millard for the start of the 30-lap Golf Cart Services feature. Esh led the field into turn 1 with Austin Bishop getting by Millard for second. Bishop challenged Esh for the lead on lap 1 but settled for second. Bishop took the lead on lap 2, driving under Esh coming out of turn 2.
Devon Borden tried to follow but could not make the pass stick for second. Danny Dietrich, who started eighth, was up to third on lap 4 and made it a three-car battle for second. Borden was up to second and Esh fell back to fourth.
Dietrich and Borden battled for second as they closed in on Bishop.
Dietrich slid Borden for second in turns 1 and 2 to take the spot on lap 10. Lapped traffic was just ahead of the leaders when Dietrich took the lead at the line on lap 11.
Dietrich was threading the needle through lapped traffic to pull away from Bishop.
Borden caught Bishop in lapped traffic with 10 laps to go to battle for second. Borden took the spot on lap 28.
Dietrich checked out and beat Borden to the checkered flag by 5.507 seconds. Dietrich completed the 30-lap feature in 7:44.249, setting a new track record. The previous record of 7:52.696 was set on 5/26/2012 by Brian Montieth. Alan Krimes finished third and Austin Bishop crossed the line fourth. Trey Hivner was fifth.
