This is the 2026 #48 Weikert's Livestock Sprint Car - Danny Dietrich in 1:50 scale by Acme Diecast.

The #48 Weikert’s Livestock Sprint Car, driven by Danny Dietrich, is a well-known entry in the Pennsylvania dirt-track scene and major sprint-car events across the United States. Dietrich, often nicknamed “Double-D,” is a standout member of the “PA Posse,” a group of highly competitive local drivers who regularly challenge national touring stars. Driving for the Gary Kauffman Racing team, Dietrich pilots the Weikert’s Livestock–sponsored No. 48, a high-powered 410-ci winged sprint car built on a Maxim chassis with a specialized racing engine, designed for extreme acceleration and sideways cornering on dirt ovals. What sets this car apart is its aggressive winged design and lightweight construction, which allow drivers like Dietrich to control the car through controlled slides while producing huge downforce from the top wing—creating the dramatic, high-speed style that makes sprint-car racing one of the most intense forms of short-track motorsport.

ACME Diecast 1:50 scale sprint cars are known for offering a very good balance of detail, authenticity, and affordability in a smaller collector scale. Despite their compact size (about 3 inches long), these models feature true-to-scale proportions, real rubber tires, and detailed interiors and exteriors, along with accurate sponsor graphics and official team licensing that replicate real dirt-track sprint cars. The models are primarily made of die-cast metal with some plastic components and are typically packaged in protective clamshell display cases. Because sprint car die-cast models are produced by relatively few manufacturers, ACME’s 1:50 line is popular with collectors who want realistic dirt-track replicas without the cost or space requirements of larger 1:18 models.
