(Muscatine, IA) Brian Birkhofer, fresh of a blistering 2002 racing season,
continued his hot streak into 2003 as he had several top finishes at East
Bay Raceway Park this past week. Birky finished the week with four Top 10
finishes out of the six races held at the 1/3-mile clay oval located outside
of Tampa, FL. He was only one of a handful of drivers to make each event
held this past week, as the competition at the 2003 Winternationals was
ultra-competitive.
The week started out with a fourth place finish on Monday night in the
Renegade DirtCar Series $5,000 to win feature event. Brian kept the
momentum going the next night at the Xtreme DirtCar Series event where he
set fast time and finished fifth in the final feature rundown. He almost
broke into victory lane on Wednesday night in the Renegade $7,000 race, but
was passed with two laps to go and had to settle for a strong second place
finish. His two non-Top 10 runs came the following two days as he finished
twelfth on Thursday night and a disappointing nineteenth on Friday night.
However, Brian and his crew battled back on Saturday night to register a
solid fourth place run in the 2003 Winternationals finale, which was an
Xtreme event that paid $15,000 to the winner.
Brian was very happy with the week at East Bay because he has not had much
luck there in the past and he kept the car in one piece all week. He is
also happy about being sixth in the Xtreme DirtCar Series points standings
and fourth in the Renegade DirtCar Series standings coming out of Florida.
Brian Birkhofer Racing will travel northeast to Daytona today to kick off
this week’s UMP dirt late model action at Volusia County Speedway. Monday
thru Friday’s feature events will pay $5,000 to the winner and Saturday’s
event will pay $10,000 and was taped by the SPEED channel to be aired later
in the spring.
