Top-5 Run in Prairie Dirt Classic for Rocket1 Racing
Four Nights of WoO Wisconsin Action on Tap this Week

SHINNSTON, W.Va. (08/03/21) – Brandon Sheppard and Rocket1 Racing rolled into the famed Fairbury Speedway over the weekend for the 31st edition of the Prairie Dirt Classic. Saturday night’s $50,000-to-win finale found Sheppard recording a fifth-place finish in his Valvoline No. 1 Seubert Calf Ranches/ Durham Racing Engines-powered XR1 Rocket Chassis Super Late Model.

“Really late in the race when my car came to me, I was a few spots too far back,” Sheppard said. “We just had to make the most out of it and made a few passes on the restarts and just came up short. It’s disappointing because we had a better car than where we finished. We’ll head to Wisconsin this week to go after some more big checks. Thanks as always goes out to all of our marketing partners and supporters.”

Taking part in one the biggest weekends of the year with the World of Outlaws (WoO) Morton Buildings Late Model Series, Rocket1Racing and Brandon Sheppard invaded Fairbury Speedway (Fairbury, Ill.) on Friday afternoon for the 31st annual Prairie Dirt Classic. 

With the massive 74-car field split into two separate groups for time trials, Sheppard recorded the 11th fastest time in his group. Starting his $3,000-to-win preliminary feature in sixth, Brandon improved three spots in the 25-lapper to register a third-place finish. 

With his third-place finish in preliminary action on Friday placing him 11th on the starting grid for Saturday night’s $50,000-to-win Prairie Dirt Classic, Sheppard advanced six spots in the 100-lap affair to finish fifth. He followed Kyle Larson, Bobby Pierce, Shannon Babb, and Chris Madden across the line.  

Brandon now sits 86 points ahead of Chris Madden atop the World of Outlaws point standings. For complete results from these events, please visit www.WorldofOutlaws.com .

The upcoming week has the team set for four nights of WoO action in Wisconsin. The week opens on Tuesday evening at Outagamie Speedway with a $10,000-to-win event, which is co-sanctioned with the Dirt Kings tour.

On Thursday evening three rounds of WoO action kicks off at Cedar Lake Speedway with a $6,000-to-win affair. On Friday and Saturday the 2021 USA Nationals take center stage with double heat races on Friday evening followed by B-mains and the $50,000-to-win finale on Saturday night.

      <p>September  7, 2021 – After the unfortunate accident of veteran race official Allen Tilley  at Lake Cumberland Speedway in Burnside, Ky. on August 21 during a non-racing  incident, a group has been formed to help guide and initiate updated safety  measures for race tracks across the country. </p>
      <p>Led  by Chris Tilley, the son of Allen Tilley as well as former NASCAR driver Randy  LaJoie who has been a major advocate for driver safety across the motorsports  industry. Tilley and LaJoie will join with an endless amount of track promoters  in the asphalt and dirt track racing ranks to address any safety shortfalls. </p>
      <p>The  group will help provide trainings for local race officials, safety videos,  literature, safety reminder banners and anything safety related to try and  prevent what happened from ever happening again. Michael Rigsby with DirtonDirt  and FloSports have agreed to provide any help with videos that will help train  new officials and veteran officials alike as long as getting safety videos to  race tracks across the country via their media platform. <br>
  &ldquo;As  race officials in the industry, we all get too comfortable and relaxed because  we&rsquo;re going through the motions on a nightly basis or trying to speed up the  program because we&rsquo;ve had a long day or night, that&rsquo;s no excuse. I think we can  all do a better job of keeping people safe, not just on the track, but off the  track and in the pits,&rdquo; stated Chris Tilley. </p>
      <p>Randy  LaJoie has seen a lot in his many years in the racing industry. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been with  Safer Racer Tour visiting 183 race tracks since 2006. I&rsquo;ve been to wonderful  facilities and maybe not so wonderful facilities and we can take some good from  all of it, I think safety needs to be pushed up the ladder some,&rdquo; stated  LaJoie. </p>
      <p>&ldquo;Guys  outside of the car shouldn&rsquo;t get hurt. Some small changes need to be made. We  can never fix all of the scenarios but let&rsquo;s make sure it doesn&rsquo;t happen again.  Officials and promoters are too important to this industry and we don&rsquo;t need  them in hospital beds and being laid up injured,&rdquo; LaJoie went on to say. </p>
      <p>Already  pledging their support to this cause include: Mitch McCarter at 411 Motor (TN)  Speedway, Brett Hearn of Orange County (NY) Speedway, Dave Willoughby of Sharon  (OH) Speedway, Brandon Hardgrove of Lake Cumberland (KY) and Ponderosa (KY)  Speedway, Tim Bryant of Five Flags (FL) Speedway plus industry promoters Kelley  Carlton of the Ultimate Series and SCDRA, Ray Cook of the Southern Nationals  Series, former NASCAR driver and current Open Wheel competitor and TV  personality Kenny Wallace, longtime NASCAR driver, current dirt racing driver  and track operator Ken Schrader plus many more that will join on board in days  to come. </p>
      <p>The  Racetrack Safety Initiative is planning to meet with promoters and industry  leaders during the World Finals at the Dirt Track at Charlotte at some point  that weekend. More details will be announced soon. </p>
For more information,  contact Chris Tilley at (828) 361-5981 or Randy LaJoie at (704) 795-7475.
