7-14 Shirley & Mickey Bruleigh Memorial Race

SHIRLEY & MICKEY BRULEIGH MEMORIAL RACE MID-SEASON TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS I won't pretend to know the story about Shirley & Mickey or their importance to the Bear Ridge Speedway racing family. I only know that multiple time Track Champion Josh Harrington is their grandson.....and multiple time Track Champion Thomas Placey is married to their granddaughter. Suffice it to say, the Bruleigh family has been a part of Bear Ridge since their has been a Bear Ridge. This night was dedicated to them.
