(MUSCATINE, IOWA) The Birkhofer Racing team returned to the UMP Summer Nationals scene over the June 22-23 weekend in a pair of $10,000 to win tilts in the Land of Lincoln. On Friday night at the Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Illinois, Brian Birkhofer timed in second quickest in his group during qualifying, ran second in his heat race, and later moved up five spots in the 50-lap feature event. The Muscatine, Iowa ace was credited with a strong third place performance at the St. Louis area venue behind only winner Billy Moyer and runner-up Brian Shirley.
At the Fairbury American Legion Speedway in Fairbury, Illinois on Saturday evening, Brian once again finished second in heat race action prior to falling to fifteenth in the final rundown of the 50-lapper.
