Building the BTR Funny Car team from the ground up into a prospective Top Ten finisher is a lifelong dream of BTR owner Brian Thiel, who is also the first rookie to hold the position as owner/driver in several years. Furthering their dedication and anticipation for the Full Throttle series to begin, BTR was the first team to register for not only the Winternationals, but all 22 events this season.
 
“BTR is committed to the Full Throttle series” said Thiel,” We have invested heavily to align our team with the respected talent, equipment and operations to remain competitive for years to come. This is still a very new business to myself and BTR. As we clear the hurdles ahead of us it will continue to show the sponsors and fans that a hardworking team and all-American farmer can compete with the mega dollar teams in the class” stated Brian Thiel.
 
“We are very excited to have a new affiliation with the Future Farmers of America, Lucas Oil, 3M products, GoPro cameras, Fram, Prestone and Autolite, as well as the Double Tree Hotel of Claremont and Blanco Basura for the Pomona event. We also want to welcome back our partners at N&S Tractor Supply, the official BTR Case IH dealer” continued Thiel.
