SEASON ENDING INJURY

Tim and Dietz Racing Team are very sorry to report that the 18d will start hibernation earlier than originally planned. Last night in the 18d garage, a tire blew-up while Tim was installing air. The explosion resulted in 3 severely broken bones in his arm. Early this morning Tim had surgery at Hanover General and some plates and screws were installed. Dietz is hanging in there, but will be in the hospital for at least another day due to extreme swelling. Please keep Tim in your thoughts and prayers during this tough time. Dietz and company were looking forward to the Gobrecht Memorial Race this Saturday, but they will have to wait till March to make laps again. A big thanks to all sponsors and fans for a great 2011 season..

A PAIR OF EIGHTS

DIETZ RACING 2010 CONCLUSION

The 2010 racing season has come to a end for Tim and the Dietz Racing Team. After 27 races entered at 7 different tracks, Tim ended up starting 23 A-main events. Of those 23 starts, 16 of them were top ten finishes and 11 were top five finishes with one victory. These numbers closely matched Tim's 2009 nearly championship season at Trail-way Speedway. The difference was the 4 races missed due to an injury from a hard crash taken in early March. After a month off, Dietz stormed back and ended up claiming a 6th place finish in points at Trail-way Speedway. Other season noteables were during late June and early July, Dietz and company completed in the 4th Annual PA 600 Speedweek Seies which featured 6 races in 8 days. The highlight of the week long event was a 3rd place finish in a 53 car field at Path Valley Speedway. Tim ended the week up 12th in points out of 125 total drivers from all over the country. All in all the 2010 racing season was pretty good. There were a few races that victory was just missed and a bad luck streak that consumed the 18d late in the season. Tim and company bounced back and concluded the season on two top five finishes at Shippensburg Speedway. A big thanks to all of the 18d supporters this season. See you at the track in March 2011.
