Dietrich Retakes Command Of Eastern Sprint Rankings

CONCORD, N.C. – Despite only one 410 sprint car race this week, Danny Dietrich moved to the top of the Eastern Region standings in the National Sprint Car Rankings after a second-place finish in that race at Pennsylvania’s Lincoln Speedway.

Dietrich leads the country in starts, having run all nine 410 sprint car races held so far in the United States, and holds the point lead over Aaron Reutzel, who has two victories in six starts this season.

Brad Sweet, Logan Schuchart and Cory Eliason round out the top five.

Brock Zearfoss jumped into the top 10 in the Eastern Region standings in seventh.

Dylan Cisney, who won Sunday at Lincoln, became the seventh driver to post a victory in the nine 410 winged sprint car races run this season.

There will be no national rankings until drivers begin reaching the 20-race plateau, which is required for ranking. To read how the National Sprint Car Rankings are tabulated, click here.
