AMS Champ Shaw Honored at DIRTcar Banquet
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Jan 13, 2022) – This past Saturday night the racers under the DIRTcar Racing umbrella congregated in Springfield, Illinois to honor those who excelled in 2021. The Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series operates under the DIRTcar Racing rulebook and attended the Crowne Plaza Hotel to take in the festivities.
Series Announcer, Tyson Graves, gave a recap on the 2021 race season to those in attendance on the main stage towards the end of the ceremonies. The top drivers in points were honored as well as 2022 series champion Brian Shaw. Brian gave a speech to thank those who head up the DIRTcar organization and those who helped make this past season a success.
The series also gave out its annual Ted Brown Award to honor someone who has went above and beyond over the years to give to our sport. This year’s award went to Larry “Budda” Redenius from Budda Transmissions. Larry has been a staple to the dirt racing community for years with his Budda Transmissions and expertise. Larry was not in attendance to receive the award but was in tears when he was told by phone he had won.
The 2022 season is coming up quickly. The season schedule is near completion and will be made public in the days to come. The season will start in April during the Illini 100 weekend at Farmer City Raceway April 1st & 2nd.
