Big Nasty Practice Tree Shootout & Benefit Raffle

Theobald Motorsports presents the Big Nasty Practice Tree Shootout and Benefit Raffle with all proceeds going to Kyle Seipel.

LAS VEGAS – The Theobald Motorsports crew is hosting the Big Nasty Practice Tree Shootout and Benefit Raffle Nov. 8 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The event will benefit our friend and fellow racer Kyle Seipel who announced recently that he is battling cancer once again.

Here’s the update from Kyle’s Facebook page on 10/24.

I’ve been dealt with another challenge.

My tongue cancer has metastasized and spread to other areas of my body.

I went through the “Why didn’t they do this” or “I should of done that” stage. Now it’s time to educate ourselves the best we can, choose a path, and put all of our time and effort into controlling this disease.

We are heading out to MD Anderson in Houston this Sunday to see what potential treatment they have to offer.

Once again I’m learning about “perspective”. I’ll be the first to admit I’ve always had the “glass is half full” outlook on life. This will not change my perspective. I’m thankful for all of the great things in my life. I have a beautiful family that supports me, friends that always have my back, and get paid to put on drag racing events that I would want to participate in myself.

This journey will once again make me closer to the ones I count on along with others that I wouldn’t of even crossed paths with without fighting this, both of which will only make me a better and stronger person.

Please give me the strength that you all have done in the past so we can fight this together.

Let’s roll.

After hearing this, the Theobald family raced to put together an event to raise funds for Kyle and his family during this difficult time. The practice tree race will be held at the conclusion of Friday’s time trials at the Theobald pit area. Raffle entries will be accepted through Nov. 9 with winners drawn on Nov. 10.

You do not have to be present to win the raffle items, they will be shipped to the winners!
