LASALLE, Ill. — After an absence from the Midwest racing scene, the Thaw Brawl dirt late model special returns to the LaSalle Speedway on March 26-27. This year, the MARS Racing Series dirt late models, DIRTcar modifieds and street stocks are part of LaSalle’s Thaw Brawl program presented by Sixteens Race Promotions. The Thaw Brawl has developed a rich history since the first event was held in 2012. Brian Shirley held off a late-race charge by Pierce to win the Thaw Brawl in 2016. Texas racer Tyler Erb won the last Thaw Brawl – held in 2019. Erb, from Waverly, Texas, raced by Pierce in the closing laps to win the 75-lap event on March 31, 2019.
