Inside Line Promotions – LAKE STEVENS, Wash. (Oct. 13, 2014) – Austen Wheatley will make his Trophy Cup debut this weekend.

In fact, Wheatley will compete in his first career 360ci event at Thunderbowl Raceway this Thursday through Saturday during the 21st edition of the premier event.

“I’ve raced in Tulare the past few years with the World of Outlaws, but this will be my first time with a 360,” he said. “Hopefully I can adapt quickly because I know the field is stacked with great drivers.”

Wheatley has raced at Thunderbowl Raceway with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series in each of the past three seasons. His best result was in 2012 when he finished eighth during a main event.

“That track is very technical and you can’t be afraid to race up against the wall,” he said. “Hopefully my 410 experience will help me adapt quickly in the 360.”

Wheatley has recorded four top fives and five top 10s in six 360 races this season.
