York, PA – (June 1st, 2015) – Chase Dietz earned his first ‘358’ sprint car victory of the 2015 season on Friday evening, May 29th at the Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Dietz, who pilots the Troy Godfrey owned, Godfrey Racing Engines, no. 5 ‘358’ sprinter, swept the competition on Friday night; earning a victory during his respective heat race before rallying from the eighth starting position to score the feature win.

The team also received donations from Salon Utopia and Kevin S. Laughman, LLC.
“It was a great night for us” said Chase Dietz, “Feels great to get a win and I can’t thank Troy Godfrey and the entire team enough for this opportunity…we’ve been on a pretty good roll lately and it feels good… we are confident and hopefully we can take advantage of that and get a few more of these…I also want to thank Salon Utopia and Kevin Laughman…they were our sponsors for the night on May 29th and helped us donate towards the Heather Baker Foundation.”
Although ‘358’ competition continues at Williams Grove Speedway this Friday evening, June 5th, Chase Dietz will be unable to attend. High school graduation will keep the third generation racer away from the speedway.
