Chase Dietz Continues to Adapt: Growing Comfortable in the ‘44’
‘Sprint Spring Championship’ On Deck for Gobrecht ‘44’ Team
York, PA (March 30th, 2015) – Despite the lack of feature laps recorded by central Pennsylvania youngster Chase Dietz, the pilot of the Scott Gobrecht owned ‘44’ sprint car is still making progress. Dietz, who is just beginning his first full year of ‘410’ sprint car competition, has been the victim of an uneven mixture of bad luck and inexperience during his first two ‘410’ starts of 2015, and although their finishes have been short of expectation, the Gobrecht/Dietz duo is growing stronger, and acquiring important ‘track time’ to help them move forward.
“We’ve had our share of bad luck but you can’t do much about that” explained Chase Dietz, “Our first weekend out, we made the show and started on the front row, but ended up getting together with Freddie (Rahmer) and tore off the front end…this past weekend, we just had an awful draw…every time we hit the track we learn more and more, and that is most important…I can’t thank Scott Gobrecht enough for this opportunity…we have a long season ahead of us…once we get a little luck and momentum on our side, we’ll be in much better shape.”
Chase Dietz and car owner Scott Gobrecht entered competition at the Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania on Sunday, March 29th; a program delayed one day due to unseasonably cold weather. A bad pill draw would result in Dietz having to start seventh in his respective heat race. The York, Pennsylvania native would finish his heat exactly where he started, forcing the 2014 Lincoln Speedway ‘358’ track champion to race in the evening’s consolation. Dietz was unable to transfer through the 10-lap consolation; finishing fifth officially with only the top four making the cut. There were 32 ‘410’ sprinters signed-in on Sunday, March 29th.
“We drew a horrible pill yesterday and that put us in the back of a tough heat race” explained Chase Dietz, “The track was still pretty narrow at that point and passing was tough…we ended up seventh and had to run the consi…even in the consi the track was tough to race on and we had a hard time passing…it was just a tough day from the start…I got more seat time so that was a benefit…we’ll get things ready to go for next week and see if we can improve.”
The 2015 season will resume for Chase Dietz and Scott Gobrecht this Saturday evening, April 4th at the ‘Fabulous’ Lincoln Speedway in the Pigeon Hills. The annual ‘Sprint Spring Championship’ will be the event headline on Saturday night; featuring a full program for the ‘410’ sprint cars including qualifying time trials.
