“It was a great weekend for our team, no doubt about that,” Danny Dietrich said. “I can’t thank my crew enough for what they do to make this car go forward. I’m positive we have even bigger things to come this season. I also want to thank the Weikert family for everything they did this weekend at Port Royal Speedway. We tried to win the Bob Weikert Memorial for them, but came up a little short. We’ll work on some things this week and try again on Friday night.”
