Drama Unfolds at Baps Motor Speedway- Dirt Track Sprint Car Racing

[@chaseshepard2395]

More race channels need to embrace the raw emotions, language etc of what they do. Love the videos, cheering you on from Sarver, Pa!

[@mnewman2319]

Best Sprint car channel on KZbin - more content plz

[@brandonzirk8308]

You guys did awesome! Love the emotion out of DD. Shows how competitive he is. I been to baps many times and haven’t seen it rubber up like that. On to the next one!! Good luck!! I was lucky enough to grab a new shirt from Heather before the race started.

[@bradgemmill6621]

Awesome video in capturing all the emotion and what happens during racing!

[@dzznuts7580]

You were killing it and definitely would have finished in the top 3. By the way, you had the most cheers from the fans. I was there

[@billydietrich]

It was awesome to hear everyone cheering

[@really3316]

So cool to hear your mom and encouraging the racing. Damn i miss those days . My mom was the same way. Your lucky shes still around 👍

[@jaysom2240]

Love this Channel so much. Great job all involved. Keep up the good work!

[@Poppawheelie1]

Frustrating but impressed how y’all handled yourselves.

[@craigerplace9445]

Love the videos you guys are true racers ,give you props .Love the interaction with the crew.Props to Dwight a guy that just loves racing

[@benstanley2275]

Holy cow what a mess. Best video yet! Love it!!

[@raleighgpeck]

Man, that so sucks the big one. Like Millard said they don't want the Dietrichs' to win. You held it in check way better than I ever could have. Years ago I almost climbed the flagstand after being black flagged for BS.

[@kurtzbradley]

You guys somehow didn’t lose your minds, class act. That was a major Goat Rodeo boooy.

[@MuttTheBuckeyeSlayer1977]

Billy needs cheered!!! Well deserved cheers!!!!! Just noticed 4 wheeler ride was one in intro. Looked like it anyways!!! Know it’s old video but still like watching.

[@sshole6658]

Keep up the great videos I wish I could donate more.

[@billydietrich]

Thank you !!

[@jessehougland3444]

I admire your team and bill your a great leader and driver you kept composed and done all you could with the cards you were delt and sadly I think you got the shaft by the track/officials and it didn't work out but it shows your team and everyone was on the track for a really good run

[@jimpoticher5100]

Wow! Just wow! I saw Anthony's right rear I don't know how he even stayed out there he said the same thing! I can't wait to see race at the Grove just saying! Great job anyway Billy!

[@RonMcmullen-mg1gh]

What a cluster but I enjoyed the chaos. Don't stop the videos.

[@ThomasMartin-q9v]

Awesome drive, Billy.

[@robanddonna25]

Glad I found your channel. Thumbs up to every video I have watch so far! Sorry you got screwed. Thanks for keeping it real.

[@ezduzit4009]

You run the advertised distance unless there is a time limit or concern for driver or fan safety.

[@jeremyuhl3511]

Your videos are always awesome

[@johnwargo8990]

Can't believe i heard a Jeremy McGrath comment. That takes me back to district 5 motocross. Another awesome video. Thanks guys

[@pursang6792]

Glad to see another D5 rider! I was a D5 A rider from the mid 70's to mid 80's and I did catch the McGrath comment. Switched to enduros with the ECEA and initially they had me running AA because I was an A class motocrosser. Talk about being out of my depth with the timekeeping and all that initially. But I think I had a better time doing that but overall, loved my time on motorcycles.

[@Lcash218]

You guys race at Lincoln Speedway? We moved from Baltimore in ‘73 and I have not been to a Sprint car race since. We used to go to Dorsey speedway on Friday nights and Lincoln on Saturdays. That was when Lynn Paxton, Bobby Balentine, and Bobby Able were there every week.

[@billydietrich]

Yes we race the majority of the Lincoln races

[@Lcash218]

@@billydietrich Hopefully I will get up there one of these days. Been in Nascar country for too long!!! Sure do miss the Sprints.

[@reneegs4403]

Unbelievable! Sorry that happened to you & Danny! Love ya! ❤❤

[@russellcurrie6099]

Hindsight is 20/20. The track management should changed the program and run twin 15 lap features for the 410's. 1/2 purse of the orig 30 lapper for each. Then teams could have put on new tires for the 2nd feature.

[@samfeuster4673]

Great video

[@brianetriphan2157]

I was wondering why you didn't go to Lincoln. I enjoy following your team on this channel.

[@billydietrich]

With all the rain and the track conditions I chose to take the night off. It’s a long season.

[@rogerparliman1892]

First time watching your video. Been in racing for 40 years only 2 things I have ever seen cut a race short are weather and a severe crash involving death. You had every reason to be upset but you kept it pretty cool I guess you knew getting pissed off would not fix anything. I love watching sprint cars I don’t have the patience to sit there and wait for them to be pushed off that annoys me, but I get it you don’t have room for the starter.

[@billydietrich]

I’ve been down the road of being pissed off. Not saying it doesn’t still happen. This situation was just so bad but at the same time not surprising.

[@nightrun17vr23]

Goodyear needs to come back heck even bring in Firestone

[@ThomasMartin-q9v]

Good job Nate.

[@blitzevans4273]

"30" laps is our goal, but we reserve the right to change our mind as many times as we want🤪 Love you guys!

[@johnkiley368]

Glad I left during the open red... I hope no cars show up at Baps the rest of the year!

[@pamountains2]

See you when you come to Port Royal

[@mariebeasley1269]

Agree with Jamie you guys handled yourselves pretty good despite the ridiculous officials

[@mikeduffey3082]

I give you an A for effort and an A for attitude. The fans were very frustrated with red and yellow flags, the full 30 laps might have taken another hour. Only 10 cars running after 27 laps, may only have been 3 cars at 30 laps. Everyone was trying to make the best of a bad situation.

[@corekiller1770]

Love this guy

[@williamzirkle3481]

Never knew that Babs was that abrasive....yea cutting laps because of track conditions really sucks...

[@scottadams1273]

What a crazy night! I love the channel though

[@StephenThomas2]

Billy why do you run the clamp for your wing ram and not just have the 1 or 2 tab options?

[@billydietrich]

I only had 1 tab on this chassis and it was the n the wrong spot so I cut it off and went to the clamp

[@mrj3217]

If he were to get a new tire wouldn't he have still been laps down? I get they didn't bring him to the wrong place somehow, and they didn't let him back in track but he would have had a a bad finish regardless.

[@ronniemctaggart6301]

Baps I love the super sportsman cars at baps

[@hotdoglover1573]

Well at least the car is still in one piece to race another day

[@paulbayne3392]

Your channel makes me wish I lived or vacationed in Southern PA at least three months out of the year.

[@Davewilliamson5w]

Geez those Goodyear M-30's and McCreary's I ran could take a beating though?? You were looking really good Brother. Unfortunate things happen, but nobody can say that you weren't running smooth, smart, and hitting any "dark dirt" you could find! I am glad you were being mindful of Little Freddie when loading up at the shop. Cats are smart. Maybe he saw something wrong and he wanted your attention? Lassie always bailed Timmy out of a lot of situations? I think he should go with you to the races? Imagine Little Freddie and Nate working side by side getting you to victory lane for the first time in 2023? Imagine after that, every team having a cat in the pits? lol

[@billydietrich]

This might be your best idea yet 😆😆😆

[@bobbygzzz7116]

Great video.....u know wen shits real messed up wen jim shuttlesworth tells off the track officials

[@JCHEY]

That sucks what happened but, Great video nonetheless 👍🏼

[@troysavage1485]

Bill car was rolling really good man.. I don't get why on a red you couldn't go to work area. They should have run an open red fuel and tires because of the problem with track... definitely sucks.. but onwards and upwards onto the next one.. car is a rocket ship mate..

[@joshuaman1126]

That happens everywhere doesn’t it. The fans pay hard earned money to see the show and then they gip them and you. All tracks got their flaws I guess. I appreciate you keeping your cool in the car❤

[@kellyoyer8087]

I feel bad for Billy too

[@billydemunbrunjr.1180]

Wow i normally don't comment on the videos but love watching your channel Billy, Heather and his crew seem like a really great bunch, and for the lack of a better term BAPS fucked your eyes out that was pathetic, Billy handled that like a CHAMP for sure , i would have had a stroke , but on a lighter note keep doing what you guys are doing its great and we're planning a trip to PA to watch some wing racing, I personally think you should build a non wing car and get your ass's down hear to Indiana that shit wouldn't have ver happened, and we would love to have you guys down 😅 good luck with the rest of your season and keep those videos coming

[@ThomasMartin-q9v]

That's good when you tell everyone you are gonna run the top and then right to the bottom and past 2 cars on the first lap.

[@brad9803]

Shitty deal. You guys do an awesome job with KZbin stuff. Nate needs his own channel imho😂

[@doriannemurtiff4370]

Wow, that was a screwing over

[@hardintothewall]

What a cluster fark 😵‍💫 onwards and upwards 👍

[@717lawncare]

Track looked about the same as it did for open practice a couple of weeks ago, terrible lol good ol dusty susky.

[@caseyhepler2806]

They won on the new compound yo, is that a positive for increased tire value, and did the drivers running old compound getting flats cause the race to be shortened

[@timmernah8185]

Wish you luck got a new fan out of me

[@philiphoffman4836]

Forget BAPS as they were run incompetents,they were bad 2 years ago and need a change. Went to Speedweeks and it was the worst track! Former PA resident, now NC,

[@jeffmill6683]

We had a deal like that at the track we ran at and we all got together and decided not to go the the track the next week. We did take our cars and parked where the fans park in protest. We never had that problem again.

[@douglaskreiser971]

Wow I've never seen rear tires that bad. I've never seen a left rear that bald

[@keithgreen3527]

Dat a boys give em hell!

[@1776vtgmb]

I'm cornfused... That tire was new from last year.... not a new 2023 tire, right? Was the wear on the inside or the outside of the tread? Did the 2023 tires hold up better for whoever was running them? WillyB

[@corbsoftwinkie77]

his tire was the old tired but new... the top 3 finishers were running the new 2023 tire...

[@billydietrich]

Yes. Cords showing on the inner half of the tire. 2023 tire is a little harder. We have 2022 tires left over and only a few opportunities to use them, Sunday’s race was one of the opportunities.

[@DirtInMyBeer94]

Damn! So overall, coming from what ive seen across social media, it was a wild a whacky weekend i would say lol. Crazy.

[@mariebeasley1269]

Dang was it worth the trip ? Was a insane day 😮

[@jesseweaver_fuyt]

Knappenberger was the race director at lanco micro midget track and everyone had strong dislike for him. And the flagger guy as well.

[@ChronCrew]

Insanity, this sort of thing happens all too often at that track. Sucks when you put so much time and money into it just to have these shenanigans take place.

[@GRReport]

BAPS always finds a way to cause controversy

[@retired-pipefitter]

Everyone should Boycott the track for the next week, it won’t happen again! Hit them in the wallet! Hell of a run going.

[@jasonthompson8668]

Awww man that is so wrong they need to have a meeting with the race director

[@ThomasMartin-q9v]

Engine sounded better when you keep the RPM's up. Nice job.

[@jesseweaver_fuyt]

This is going to be interesting when the outlaws show up there

[@hotdoglover1573]

Oh geeze when’s that happening?

[@jesseweaver_fuyt]

@@hotdoglover1573 July 19th

[@tjw3999]

shoulda threw the red let everyone change the right rear make for a better race for the fans plus they coulda got someone hurt. really bad call by the track

[@drewpierce2273]

During this BAPS fiasco video, a poop commercial popped up. Honest. Sorta fitting I guess. Hope you at least got some pickles over at the farm market. 😂

[@kellyoyer8087]

That's so wrong for Danny!!!!

[@EdsSledss]

What a joke I would never go back. Good jobs guys. Hard to beat the Clowns in the tower

[@waynesimmons7052]

I always tell “employees” they were fired 30sexonds before they were injured. Lol. Question. Why all the flat tires? Didn’t they change the tire rules?

[@billydietrich]

Track got abrasive. We had the old tire on which is a little softer than the new tire. Trying to use up our old new tire inventory.

[@jeremyzarfos855]

The ole NASCAR short pit strategy lol

[@tomrobinson199]

Them croc pot perogies 🤤

[@billydietrich]

Delicious

[@seanjackson726]

Damn billy just keep getting the short end of the stick,

[@ThomasMartin-q9v]

Next week, you and Danny and Dwight go out there and run half throttle down the straights and let off in the cover. Finish about 10 laps down and see how they like that.

[@ThomasMartin-q9v]

The High Side Drifter.

[@amtcruiser]

Shite happens at the start of the season. Billy it ain't nothing you were as fast as the track would allow.

[@ThomasMartin-q9v]

I like your ghetto set up, mostly because you are there selling the stuff, Heather.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

The object of the exercise is make the car sure of running the programmed laps. In your case [and others] you burnt the tyres up too much. IF the red had not happened the tyre would have gone flat and no b/s!! THOUGH with a solid red you should have been allowed to change tyres. I have been involved with Sprintcars a LONG time. But in Australia where the rules change from lap to lap!

[@PaxtonCooperMotorsports]

Kinda weird to think that I raced that big track on a little tiny dirt go kart

[@ThomasMartin-q9v]

Better get a tinted shield.

[@zacharywood2397]

What's your favorite track, to race on?

[@BFinanciallyfree]

The solution was simple at 19 go freeze the field and send everyone into the pits for tires.

[@libertarianman69]

So does nasty nate sponsor you or just help on the car?

[@billydietrich]

He does both

[@libertarianman69]

@@billydietrich wow, cool.

Thats Bullshit. Danny was probly in a good mood too.

Hey, instead of dragging your merchant across in totes, why you make a little cart to go behind the four wheeler .and drive it over. You can make a little cart that folded up, and put it in the back of truck

You don't change the rules during the race
