SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (September 12, 2022) - Despite what turned out to be a frustrating weekend with the All Star Circuit of Champions at the Port Royal Speedway “Speed Palace,” forced to compete in the weekend’s non-qualifiers event after not transferring into Saturday’s $60,000-to-win Tuscarora 50, the “Big Wheel” Scotty Thiel and Team 73 are ready to move forward, setting their aim on three events in three days across Western Pennsylvania.
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, will launch his three-race weekend with the $5,000-to-win Hustle at the Hollow at Dog Hollow Speedway in Strongstown on Friday, September 16. Action will continue with a pair of FAST Series starts at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver on Saturday, September 17, and Knox Raceway in Knox on Sunday, September 18. The events at Lernerville and Knox will award $10,000 and $4,000, respectively.
“It was a tough weekend for our team at Port Royal. The level of competition at the Tuscarora 50 is some of the best you’ll find in the country. Now that we have a little bit better notebook, we’ll get back there in the future with a stronger gameplan,” Thiel said, a five-time winner in 2022 including four with the IRA Outlaw Sprint Car Series. “Hats off to my guys…they worked their butts off all week long and continued to stay motivated even when things got tough. We’ll do whatever we can to get Team 73 back up front this weekend.”
