SHEBOYGAN, Wis.

Sanctioned by the IRA Outlaw Sprint Series, Thiel now owns five top-five appearances with the Series in 2022, two of which victories, all accomplished in just nine feature starts.
Thiel’s visit to Knoxville Raceway concluded in the B-Main; he was scored 17th.

Our stats against the IRA this season are something to be proud of. We’re going to do everything we can to represent our Wisconsin fans proudly at the Knoxville Nationals.”
