SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (September 6, 2022) - It was a weekend for the record books for Sheboygan, Wisconsin’s Scotty Thiel and Team 73, ultimately capping their three-race run with the IRA Outlaw Sprint Series with three consecutive podium finishes, two of which $3,000 victories, while visiting three Wisconsin ovals. Bumping his season win total to five, four of which against the IRA, Thiel scored his victory lane appearances during stops at Dodge County Fairgrounds and Plymouth Dirt Track on Friday and Saturday, September 2-3, respectively.
Impressive enough, Thiel, 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, No. 73 sprint car, nearly swept each of the programs on his way to victory. In fact, out of all preliminary action including heat races and dashes, Thiel’s only defeat occurred in dash action at Dodge County Fairgrounds where he finished second in dash two, thus starting fourth in the evening’s A-Main.
Although not victorious in race three at 141 Speedway, Thiel was a close second, leading a portion of the evening’s main event before settling for one spot down. Jordan Goldesberry slipped by the Team 73 entry during a battle in traffic with five remaining. A caution with two to go gave Thiel a chance to reclaim, but time ran short.
“What a weekend, and I owe it all to my team. Results like these prove that our hard work and determination is working and I couldn’t be more proud,” Thiel explained, who also owns a MOWA win in 2022. “There are a lot of moving parts and to make it all work you have to have a great team and great support. I’m fortunate enough to have each of those attributes. We still have a lot of racing ahead…we’ll get a game plan together soon.”
