Bowling Green Preview: Renee Theobald, driver of Pretty Wicked
We caught up with Renee Theobald, driver of the “Pretty Wicked” Mini on the NTPA and PPL Circuits, for a quick question and answer about her transition to a new class, and her early season success. The former Super Modified Two Wheel Drive Truck driver has taken to the seat of a brand new ride with relative ease, as the family put together a second Mini over the off-season with a new Modern Machine frame and Hemi power plant prepared in the shop in South Central Indiana. Renee is currently off a win in Rockwell, IA two weeks ago, and sits 2nd in points with the NTPA as they enter the National Tractor Pulling Championship in Bowling Green, OH.
Renee and her family, husband Doug, and sons Grant and Mason are no strangers to the sport. Both Grant and Mason grew up on the sideline just like their parents did and are the next generation in a long line of fierce competitors with both grandfathers having been long-time competitors on the national level. The Theobalds from Shelbyville, Indiana currently campaign four vehicles across three different classes on the NTPA GN circuit, the “Full Blown Wicked” triple screw blower/hemi Unlimited tractor, two Hemi powered Mini Modified tractors “Pretty Wicked” piloted by Renee and “Lil Wicked” driven by Grant, lastly the 1923 T-Bucket Two Wheel Drive truck piloted by NTPA Rookie Mason Theobald.
On the weekends when they all compete, the toy box is full for the Wicked Motorsports team but they wouldn’t have it any other way. The synergy of the team has yielded tremendous results over the last decade and it is only growing as they are off to a very hot start in 2023. Thank you to Renee for joining us for the Q & A, and good luck this weekend. If you are in Bowling Green, stop by and see the Wicked Motorsports team.
