2026 #16C Greg Wheeler Motorsports Sprint Car - Scotty Thiel in 1:18 scale
This is the 2026 #16C Greg Wheeler Motorsports Sprint Car - Scotty Thiel in 1:18 scale by Acme Diecast.
The #16C Greg Wheeler Motorsports Sprint Car, driven by Scotty Thiel, competes in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series during the 2026 season. Thiel, a native of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, built his reputation on Midwest dirt tracks and captured the 2024 Interstate Racing Association (IRA) championship, earning the chance to step up to the national tour and chase the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year title in 2026. Driving the distinctive No. 16C for Greg Wheeler Motorsports, his car stands out for its powerful 410-cubic-inch winged sprint-car configuration, lightweight chassis, and large top wing that produces tremendous downforce on dirt ovals. The combination allows drivers to attack corners in dramatic sideways slides at extreme speed, making the 16C a striking presence on the World of Outlaws circuit as Thiel begins his rookie campaign against the best sprint-car drivers in the country.
ACME Diecast sprint car models are widely regarded by collectors as some of the most detailed and authentic replicas of dirt-track racing machines available in die-cast form. Produced mainly in 1:18 and smaller scales, these models feature highly accurate tube-frame chassis, detailed engines, steerable front wheels, removable wings, and realistic racing cockpits that closely replicate real World of Outlaws–style sprint cars. Many versions also include real rubber tires, licensed team graphics, and removable hood cowls, allowing collectors to view the engine and mechanical details. Because sprint cars are rarely produced by other manufacturers at this level of detail, ACME’s releases are often considered premium collector pieces and a benchmark for sprint-car die-cast quality.
