Thiel and Ragged Edge Racing closeout Florida visit with USCS double at Hendry County; Next start TBD
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (February 10, 2025) – It was a hard-fought weekend in the Sunshine State for “Big Wheel” Scotty Thiel and Ragged Edge Racing, continuing their competitive, early season tour with a USCS 360 Outlaw Sprint Cars doubleheader at Hendry County Motorsports Park in Clewiston, Florida, on Friday and Saturday, February 7-8. Although falling just short of matching ASCS National Tour success from Volusia Speedway Park, the Michigan-based operation put up sound numbers and maintained consistency, concluding the Winter Heat invasion with 12th and 11th-place finishes, respectively, recording a Saturday night heat race victory in the process.
Thiel, who calls Sheboygan, Wisconsin, home, was in a position to win Saturday’s finale until near-disaster struck, maintaining his place within the frontrunners before a late-race incident forced the most recent IRA Outlaw Sprint Series champion into the outside retaining wall; he started from the pole.
Scotty Thiel and Ragged Edge Racing left the Sunshine State with five starts on their stat card, finishing no worse than 12th including three consecutive ASCS National Tour top-tens at Volusia’s “World’s Fastest Half-Mile.”
“In all, a great trip to Florida, and a great start to our season,” Thiel noted. “I think we were in a great position to win our first race of the year at Hendry County, but those things happen. We’ll keep our heads up and move forward. To everyone who got us to this point, I can’t say enough. The team has put in a ton of time and effort in and it has certainly paid off.
“We’re not sure of our plan going forward,” Thiel added. “We have some ideas, but we’re going to weigh our options and choose what makes the most sense. We’ll release an upcoming schedule soon.”
