Shirley Grabs Fifth Win on the Hell Tour at Quincy Raceways 
by Jack Walbring
QUINCY, IL (July 6) - The temperatures were soaring but it did not stop Brian Shirley from a dominating performance at Quincy Raceways during the UMP Summer Nationals on Friday July 6. Shirley set overall fast time in qualifying over thirty other competitors and the only thing that slowed him all night was a lightning strike that caused a power outage during the forty lap feature event that shut the tracks lights down. The $7500 to Win Summer Nationals feature event saw Shirley hold off a determined Brandon Sheppard by 1.1 seconds to take his fifth win on the tour as he increased his points lead over Shannon Babb. Babb scored the third spot followed by Ryan Unzicker in fourth and Jason Feger in fifth. Shirley, Unzicker, Sheppard and Babb were the heat race winners with Mike Spatola grabbing the checkered flag in the C-main.
