Scotty Thiel
Thiel rallies big with IRA at 141; Knoxville Raceway bound
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (May 31, 2022) - Although Scotty Thiel was unable to add to his 2022 IRA Outlaw Sprint Series win total, the “Big Wheel” out of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, put on an impressive display at 141 Speedway in Marible, Wisconsin, ultimately turning a bad situation into something positive.
Thiel, ace 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, No. 73 sprint car, found his bad situation during heat race action, hitting an infield tire and destroying the front end while leading. Forced to compete in the evening’s B-Main, Thiel would go on to win, eventually capping the entire program with an impressive rally from 19th to eighth with only one caution to aid his route.
With his recovery at 141 included, Thiel now owns five top-ten finishes in 2022, one of which a podium outcome against the All Star Circuit of Champions at Plymouth Dirt Track. In addition, Thiel is a two-time IRA winner this season, one at Beaver Dam and one at Sycamore.
“We went into 141 with the mindset to win, but to do what we did is just as good in some respect, “Thiel explained. “Hats off to my team. They maintained focus and never gave up, and that’s what you need to make up for mistakes like that. We’ll put this behind us and move forward.”
