WEST LIBERTY, Iowa (Aug. 9) — Polesitter Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine, Iowa, led all 50 laps at West Liberty Raceway for a $10,000 payday in the unsanctioned i-Wireless Tornado Tuesday event for Super Late Models.

Birkhofer built a half-straightaway lead on runner-up Andy Eckrich at the half-mile oval, but Eckrich was able to cut into the lead amid traffic, drawing close at the checkered flags. | Slideshow
