Earlier this week Danny Dietrich announced he was ending his commitment to the PA Posse 410 Sprint Series despite being third in the points standings. He’s now shared more details as to why he ended the commitment during an appearance on DirtVision’s Pit Bull show.

A press release from Fully Injected on Monday, June 1st noted that his decision came after he was disqualified during the series’ event at Lincoln Speedway over the weekend. The press release detailed that Dietrich “slowed on lap two with a trip to the outer work area immediately following. The team made timely repairs, but an eventual lack of communication between track officials during the aforementioned work area visit led to an eventual disqualification.”

Dietrich cited the DQ as his reason for dropping his commitment to the series. He explained, “This situation was completely avoidable, and until there’s an actual PA Posse Series officiating crew that can make decisions on behalf of the Series itself, rather than each track doing it their own way, we’re not going to show our support regularly.”

“I went to the work area…everything was treated as routine and we were ready to restart, only to be told the work area was closed and I was disqualified,” he elaborated. “Just a major communication lack. There needs to be a better infrastructure in place – a Series Director working on behalf of the Series and not for the track. That way there’s accountability. A Series at this level, with that much money at stake, needs to be taken seriously.”

“We’re going to race what makes sense going forward,” Dietrich added. “We’ll make our decisions week-to-week. If we want to stay home, we’ll stay home. If we want to travel, we’ll travel. Time will tell.”

Dietrich had previously shared his frustration with the disqualification on social media. On Facebook, he posted, “‘Communication issues’ at Lincoln didn’t allow me to restart tonight. Not one person was telling us or me that we need to ‘push now’. Then they voluntarily push us after we double checked things. (We could have pushed a few seconds sooner).”

“As I am about to go on the track they say on the radio ’48 is coming on the track’.. then proceed to tell me I’m DQ’d on the front stretch because the ‘pits were closed’ .. after everything seemed perfectly fine,” he wrote. “I’m at a loss for words and quite honestly.. sick of racing. Luck aint on our side and it’s getting tough to keep doing this shit around here. This isn’t just a hobbie or something to do in my spare time or any of my crews spare time.”

He later added Sunday night, “With professionalism goes point championships. The creators force people to leave the area again.”

Now, in an appearance on Pit Bull, where he is regularly a co-host, Dietrich shared more details about why he chose to end his commitment to the PA Posse 410 Sprint Series, “Just a lot of lack of communication … It gets frustrating that this [crap] only happens to us. I feel like every year there’s something that happens to us that turns into a [crap]show that absolutely screws things over when it comes to points implications, or big money shows, or whatever it may be. You’ve got Speedweek that pays a lot of money. You’ve got the points deal. Central PA points.”

“To me, there’s just inconsistency in this area and obviously, Saturday, lack of communication,” he continued. “We’d understand that we don’t get 2 minutes in the work area unless there’s a flat tire, which I didn’t need 2 minutes any way. But like nobody is telling us to push. So Jake’s just kinda going over things after we changed the shock. And then when they tell us to push, we push, to go out on the race track. And we’re going down, I’m on pit lane fired up and they’re like, ‘Okay, we’re turning the lights out.’ I hear it on the radio. It’s the only thing I hear is them on the radio saying, ‘Lights are going out’ and I hear them say, ’48’s coming on the race track.’ So in my mind I need to catch up to the field because we’re going green. That’s okay. To me, leaders are wherever they’re at, they’re turning the lights out. They know I need to catch up. It’s fine. Everything’s good.”

“And then they bring the yellow back out,” he added. “They tell me the pits were closed and they tell me I’m disqualified and I got to take it to the pits. And I’m sitting there thinking, ‘If I could just get somebody to stop on the race track so I could come back out there wouldn’t even be an issue. This is so stupid. We’re talking like a matter of 1 or 2 seconds.’ We got people in the pit area at Lincoln we like, but they’re not officials. And Lincoln really essentially does not have a pit stewardess to make a call. Like they need to be on the driver radio saying, ‘Danny, if you want to join the field, you need to go now.’ Well, then I would’ve pushed. We literally took an extra few seconds just to kinda go over things. Well, apparently we only missed this by a second or two and the officials probably weren’t listening to their own radio when they said that they the leaders get to turn 1 they’re turning the lights out. Well, maybe you should have told me that that we needed to go because then I could’ve told them we needed to go, but no, nobody said anything. So when they tell us we need to go, we go, and everything seemed find ’til I get to the front speech.

“So lack of communication there, lack of officiating in a sense in the pit area at Lincoln,” he added. “It’s not that I don’t know the rules, it’s just a matter of somebody needs to communicate or do better. I don’t know what they got to fix, but I just feel like every year it’s something.”

After discussing what led to the disqualification he then explained his decision to end his commitment to the fledgling series, “And now we’re 70 points behind. We have other places we can go race. Now granted, we’re still going to race some of the series, we’re going to race most of the series races. We’ll probably be back at Lincoln this Saturday because it pays $8,000 to-win rather than $5,000 at Port. But I don’t know that yet. We do have options. And we’re going to weigh them out. We’re going to go to Pevely. We’re going to go run Iron Man. We’re going to go to Ohio Speedweek and we’re going to miss PA races. And we’re going to run Fremont for High Limit and run some races in Ohio that week.”

“I’m kinda done worrying about this series because they don’t have an infrastructure and officiating to go from-. They need two guys to run the whole deal to be quite honest with you.. They need one guy in the tower and one guy in the pit area. Let’s face it, that’s really where you need them. To basically run the show because that’s where teams are. You’ve got someone in the tower to run the race and somebody in the pits to control the race teams. We need a couple guys to take over and control that. And that’s what they’re lacking and until they get that together how can you consider it such a serious series? If you’re going to pay $50,000 to win the points series, that’s a lot of money. And it ain’t like the tracks aren’t paying a sanctioning fee. They are. So give a couple bucks to a couple guys to show up to every race and don’t have these issues,” he declared.

Dietrich later added that the series does not have any legitimate officials and then called for a unified Series rule rather than relying on specific track rules, “Then we’re going to go to a place like Path Valley, Bedford, Clinton County, Bridgeport, they don’t have Sprint Cars. Who’s going to do it there? What are the rules for these other tracks that don’t run sprint cars when there is no track rules. So we need to have a set of series rules and we need to have someone to enforce them.”

“How did you miss the call by two seconds when there’s no guaranteed time?”
