(HARRISBURG, ILLINOIS) With rain-outs a common theme in the area throughout the Labor Day holiday weekend, Brian Shirley was able to get one more race into the record book, as he traveled to Fairbury American Legion Speedway in Fairbury, Illinois on Saturday, August 30. The American Late Model Series (ALMS) and Corn Belt Clash Late Model Series co-sanctioned the single-day show and a $3,000 top prize was on the line.
Brian ran second in his heat race and later started the A-Main from the inside of the third row. Unfortunately, the Chatham, Illinois native was involved in an early race incident, which bent the tie-rod of his Rocket Chassis and relegated him to a disappointing twenty-second place performance.

Both Riggs Motorsports drivers – Brian Shirley and Jason Riggs – will be among the over 100 entrants this upcoming weekend for the ‘World 100.’ The hallowed Eldora Speedway will once again be the epicenter of the Dirt Late Model universe on September 4-6, as the 44th annual running of the “Granddaddy of Them All” will take place at the Rossburg, Ohio facility. On Thursday and Friday, a pair of 25-lap preliminary main events will take place both nights, each of which will pay $5,000 to the winner.
When Saturday rolls around at the “Big E,” the stakes will be much higher, as six heat races and consolation events will set the stage for the 100-lap grind. The winner of the 44th Annual ‘World 100’ will not only receive the hefty $47,000 payday, but also the famed globe trophy. Brian has made four career main event starts in the ‘World 100,’ while Jason will be looking to make his first starting grid in the biggest event in our industry.
