    It’s such a joy to listen to a down to earth racer. Got his autograph at the 2021 PDC. I thanked him for the autograph and he said you’re welcome. Very genuine person and racer. Thanks Hermanator.

    Brian is one of the best and most likeable guys in late models. He's one of many of our Illinois boys.

    Thank you Brian for sharing your story! Prayers for your wife and family! Congrats on a stellar year! I think one of the things it boils down to is cost to race. 20+ years ago my stepson was racing street stock and the motor alone ranged from 8-10 grand. And they had a 350 claim. Nobody would do it cuz almost everyone had that kind of money invested! The other thing is there would only be 3-400 to win and the rare 5-10g specials! So it boils down to the love of racing! 🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸

    Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz pplzzzzz plllz help that because I dream of racing! It’s my passion and I can’t afford it I’m trying so hard but it’s so expensive I truly believe I would be somebody a true icon if I had the chance when you know you just know, I grew up a really rough childhood and my dream is always been to race. I’m trying to overcome my own battles in life coming from poor this would mean the world, if I could be able to afford a car because maybe I could work my way up to making a name for myself but as of right now it’s just so hard it’s like every time I get close. My vehicle breaks down and I gotta pay for it or Dr. bills etc.. There’s a lot of talent out here in this world and I believe some don’t get the chance to show it if I had a chance I know, for a fact, I would shock the world passion goes along way thank you so much Brian Shirley ❤ thank you for being humble to the working man God bless you all!
