Thiel secures back-to-back top-fives in IRA’s final weekend; National Open on the horizon
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (September 26, 2022) - It was a big weekend in the Badger State for the “Big Wheel” Scotty Thiel, and although he was unable to add any additional marks to his 2022 IRA Outlaw Sprint Series win column, the Sheboygan, Wisconsin, native and driver of Team 73 performed well in the Series’ final weekend of competition, concluding the two-day, two-race agenda with a pair of top-five appearances highlighted with a podium run at Dodge County Fairgrounds on Friday, September 23. Central Pennsylvania invader Dylan Cisney, who calls Port Royal Speedway home on a weekly basis, was the only competitor to outduel Thiel at the Beaver Dam venue
The following evening at Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wisconsin, Thiel finished fourth, powering ahead five positions from ninth on the A-Main grid. An ignition box issue during the evening’s first dash forced Thiel to start from row ten, as he was able to compete in the four-lap dash.
Thiel is a recent IRA Outlaw Sprint Series winner at Dodge County Fairgrounds, as well as Plymouth Dirt Track, acquiring victories in consecutive fashion on September 2-3.
“Another consistent weekend for our team, and that’s all we can ask for,” Thiel expressed, driver of the Gibbsville Cheese, Walkers Game Ear, Professional Plating Inc, Scott Thiel Builders, Stealth Cam, Muddy Outdoors, Complete Water Inc, KSI Supply, GRP Motorsports, Racers Hall, Triple X Chassis, K1 Race Gear, HRP, King Racing Products, Keizer Wheels, No. 73 sprint car. “It’s a little disappointing to have that issue in the dash on Saturday at Plymouth, but those things happen. We were able to recover for a top-five and that’s motivating. That all goes back to the team…they never give up and I’m proud of our efforts. We have a big weekend ahead, so all focus is on Williams Grove.”
