Shirley Clinches Fourth Championship While Feger Takes Checkers at Merritt
LAKE CITY, MI – What started just 45 days ago in Illinois is now all said and done. With seven Feature victories to his credit, Brian Shirley is a DIRTcar Summer Nationals champion for the fourth time in his career.
“I’m just proud of my team, proud of everybody that’s a part of this deal. I just can’t thank those guys enough for the support we get. We’ll just keep going until we can’t go anymore,” Shirley told Summer Nationals announcer Ruben Mireles in Victory Lane.
Shirley and the Bob Cullen Racing team came into the Racing Electronics Champions Week finale at Merritt Speedway Saturday night with a 130-point advantage over the rest of the field and maintained it with a 7th-place finish in the Feature event, won by none other than Bloomington, IL’s own Jason Feger.
