These shots were taken at the Xtreme Dirtcar Series stop May 14, 2003 at Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, ND.

Thanks to Hawkeye Racing News for the opportunity to shoot photos at this first-time event.

Thanks to co-promoter Joanne Dieterle for her help as well.

It was an experience I won't soon forget.

Congrats to winner   Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine, Iowa! After a hard-fought night on a very muddy track, Birky pumps his fist at the cheering crowd.

(Check out the mud plastered on the front of his racecar!)
