SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (August 1, 2022) – Although the weekend did not conclude in the manner he wanted, missing All Star Circuit of Champions main event action at the Sprint Car Capital of the World, Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, the “Big Wheel” Scotty Thiel proved to be a winning threat the night before, ultimately capping his Friday evening at Langlade County Speedway in Antigo, Wisconsin, with a top-five finish.

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.”
