The 16th Annual Spec Mix Bricklayer 500 crowned the World's Best Bricklayer, David Chavez of Houston’s Ranch Masonry, and his tender, Miguel Contreras, after their 60-minute effort laid 698 bricks in double-wythe wall with no technical deductions.
Twenty-eight teams from around the globe battled for a piece of the $125,000 Bricklayer 500 purse, which included a Ford F-250 XLT Super Duty 4x4 truck and John Deere Gator XUV835 Utility Vehicle.
