WoO Super Late Model Series Action Resumes this Week

CHILTON, Wis. (03/13/23) – Brian Shirley stayed ahead of his nearest competitors and the impending inclement weather on Saturday evening to take his Bob Cullen Racing / Thomason Express No. 3s J&J Ventures & Gaming/ Hoker Trucking / XR1 Rocket Chassis / Durham Racing Engine Super Late Model to Victory Lane in Saturday night’s 19^th ann. Tuckasee Toilet Bowl Classic finale at Tennessee’s Clarksville Speedway.

From the pole position, Shirley was pacing the field with 22 laps completed when wet weather arrived, resulting in the race being declared completed. Brian received $7,500 for his first win of the season.

“Over the years Clarksville (Speedway) has been pretty good to me. We started out decent on Friday night and got a podium there, and then Saturday everybody knew that the weather was coming so we knew it was important to hit everything right to start the night. We qualified fastest, got to the lead early and then the rain came just past halfway, and we were declared the winner,” Shirley said. “We’ve been fast to start the year, and it’s always great to get the first win.

“We’re really pumped up to make a run at the (World of) Outlaws title this year, so we’re excited to get back to racing with them this weekend in Tennessee and Georgia.”

Brian Shirley returned to the driver’s seat of the Bob Cullen Racing No. 3s Late Model on Friday afternoon for the 19^th ann. Tuckassee Toilet Bowl Classic at Clarksville (Tenn.) Speedway.

With a heat race victory placing him on the second row in Friday’s $3,000-to-win prelim, Brian raced to a third-place finish in the 25-lap affair. He trailed Dennis Erb Jr. and Josh Rice to the checkers.

On Saturday with rain threatening the program, Shirley secured his spot into the Toilet Bowl Classic finale with the fast time honors in qualifying. Grabbing the lead on the drop of the green flag, Brian was leading on lap 22 when Mother Nature made an appearance, forcing officials to cut the 40-lapper short.

He was awarded a $7,500 payday for his first win of the season and second-career Toilet Bowl triumph.
