On Wednesday, Jan. 24, in Las Vegas, during the World of Concrete Trade Show, Michael Schlund made history by claiming the “World’s Best Bricklayer” title for the second year in a row! With back-to-back wins, Schlund secured top honors at the SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500 competition.
The SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500 North Texas Regional event and its live mason contractor auction raised $58,700 at the sixth annual Bricks, Blocks & Bags for Bikes Charity Auction. The money enabled the local group of “Santa’s Helpers” to purchase 1,000 bikes for underprivileged youth in the North Texas area.
The contest’s total payday is valued at over $125,000, with its freshly named champion winning a new FORD F-250 4×4 Super Duty truck coupled with $15,000 in cash and prizes.
This year, a new generation of masons look to take center stage as 30 percent of the 2022 World Championship competition roster are first-time qualifiers. As the field gets younger, the brick counts get higher, and the action gets more intense. You won’t want to miss a second of the action.
SPEC MIX, LLC has officially announced that the world’s largest and most prestigious masonry competition, the SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500, will hold its World Championship on Wednesday, June 9th, 2021 at the World of Concrete in Las Vegas.
2020 proved to be a challenging year, but with a lot of planning and hard work the SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500 Regional Series went into the record books as a success.
