Shirley Fights to DIRTcar Summer Nationals Triumph at Macon Speedway
MACON, IL (July 5) - Brian Shirley of Chatham, Ill., won his fourth Hell Tour feature event Thursday night at Macon Speedway. The victory was Shirley's first ever Herald & Review 100 win at the tiny Macon, Ill., oval worth $5,000.

With his fourth victory which is the most on tour in 2012, Shirley will unofficially extend his point lead over Babb to 29 markers with eight races remaining on tour.
Defending DIRTcar Late Model Nationals Champion Ryan Unzicker of El Paso, Ill., finished third. Brandon Sheppard of New Berlin, Ill., rallied from 18th to finish fourth while his father Steve Sheppard Jr. also of New Berlin, Ill., rounded out the top five.
