Austin Theiss Enjoys Strong Texas Weekend

Hockley, Texas (03/08/16) – Texas racer, Austin Theiss enjoyed a great weekend behind the wheel of his Northside Plumbing Supply #7D MB Customs/Mullins Racing Engine Super Late Model, where he registered a pair of podium finishes.

Austin Theiss took his #7D MB Customs Super Late Model into battle on Friday night at Heart O’ Texas Speedway (Elm Mott, Texas) for the unsanctioned event. Earning a front row starting spot for his heat, Theiss jumped into the lead, capturing a heat race victory. Coming from 7th in the feature, Austin notched a 3rd-place finish behind race winner, Robbie Starnes and Max Thomas with Sloppy Hogg and Kyle Whitworth rounding out the top five.

Making the trip two hours south, Theiss traveled to Cotton Bowl Speedway (Paige, Texas) on Saturday night, where he hoped to top his 3rd-place outing from the previous night. Drawing 15 Super Late Models for the South Texas Late Model Series (STLMS) event, Austin improved one spot in his heat, scoring a runner-up finish behind Robbie Starnes. At the drop of the green flag in the finale Theiss jumped from his 4th-starting spot to the lead. He would pace the field until the white flag lap, when veteran racer, Robbie Starnes slipped past for the win. Theiss finished 2nd with Brandon Brzozowksi, Sloppy Hogg, and Nate Jantz rounding out the top five.

“Man it stings to know that on Saturday night I led every lap, except the one that really counts,” commented Theiss. “However, if I’m going to lose one like that at least it’s too a legend like Robbie (Starnes). The good news is that this car just keeps better and better every time out, and I’m really excited about this season.”

Full results from these events are available at www.HeartOTexSpeedway.com and www.CottonBowlSpeedway.com .

Theiss is currently unsure of when his next event will be, but he will tentatively enter the 6th Annual Pelican 100 at Ark-La-Tex Speedway (Vivian, Louisiana) on March 18-19. The event posts a $10,000 winner’s check for the victor of the 100-lap affair. For more information on the event, please visit www.ArkLaTexSpeedway.com .
