FARMER CITY, IL – April 3, 2013 – Brian Shirley has his sights set on big dirt Late Model prizes in 2013 – starting this weekend.
Contending for victory in the sport’s richest and most prestigious races is the stated goal for the defending DIRTcar UMP Summer Nationals and weekly series Late Model champion, who will get his first shot this season at a mega-money triumph when the World of Outlaws Late Model Series Illini 100 is contested for the fifth time on April 5-6 at Farmer City Raceway.
“We really want to focus on our program for the big shows this year,” said Shirley, a 32-year-old standout from Chatham, Ill., whose biggest career win to date was a $35,000 score in the 2006 Knoxville (Iowa) Late Model Nationals. “Last year we started up front in a lot of big races but couldn’t stay there. This year we have to make the right decisions to capitalize on those good starting spots and get solid finishes – and maybe even win one or two.
