Brian Birkhofer Invades Mountaineer State
of West Virginia Following Pair of Podium Finishes!
(MUSCATINE, IOWA) Brian Birkhofer and his #15b team traveled
to the Ohio Valley over the August 27-28 weekend for two Lucas
Oil Late Model Dirt Series showdowns in the states of Indiana
and Kentucky. On Friday night, the Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg,
Indiana played host to a $10,000 to win program. Brian ran third
in heat race action and later rolled off from the outside of the
fifth row in the 50-lap main event. In front of a huge crowd and
the cameras of the SPEED Channel, Brian charged to the front of
the field to earn a stellar runner-up performance behind only
winner Dale McDowell.
The action quickly turned to the Bluegrass Speedway in Bardstown,
Kentucky on Saturday evening for another $10,000 to win Lucas
Oil Late Model Dirt Series event. Brian once again ran third in
his stacked heat race to earn the eleventh starting spot in the
'Bluegrass Classic.' The Muscatine, Iowa native sported another
fast racecar in the 50-lapper, as he blew past eight competitors
en route to a third place effort behind only winner Don O'Neal
and runner-up Mike Marlar. Full results from the LOLMDS doubleheader
can be viewed online at www.lucasdirt.com.
Birkhofer Racing has been feverishly working on their equipment
this week to prepare for the upcoming 'Black Diamond 125' at the
Tyler County Speedway in Middlebourne, West Virginia. The inaugural
event, which will be held this Friday and Saturday, September
3-4 at Tyler County, will feature a unique format that could pay
a driver up to $60,000 in winnings. A $10,000 to win show will
headline Friday's portion of the program, while the field will
then be split in two for a pair of $20,000 to win events on Saturday.
The top eight finishers in each 50-lapper will then transfer into
a final $10,000 to win, 25-lap showdown. Additional information
on the 'Black Diamond 125' can be viewed online at www.tylercountyspeedwayonline.com.
Following Tyler County, Brian and the #15b team will invade the
West Virginia Motor Speedway in Mineral Wells, West Virginia for
the 42nd Annual 'Hillbilly Hundred.' The Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series will sanction the oldest major Dirt Late Model event
in the country on Sunday, September 5 and a whopping $42,000 payday
is on the line. More news concerning the 'Hillbilly Hundred' can

All summer long, fans are encouraged to donate money for Brian
Birkhofer to "Brave the Shave!" The campaign, which
kicked off at the 'Dream 100' in early June, will culminate during
the 'World 100' weekend at the Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio
on September 9-11. Brian, along with twenty other drivers, will
shave their heads at Eldora to raise money for three worthy cancer
charities. You can learn more about A Head for A Cure and the
