South Carolina WoO Weekend Awaits
SHINNSTON, W.Va. (03/22/22) – Brandon Sheppard and Rocket1 Racing entered a single event over the weekend with a Sunday evening trip to Ohio’s Atomic Speedway for the Buckeye Spring 50.
Sheppard enjoyed a solid outing and came away with another Top-5 finish to add to the 2022 stats in his Valvoline / Seubert Calf Ranches No. 1 Ace Metal Works / XR1 Rocket Chassis / Durham Racing Engine Super Late Model.
“It was a pretty good night for our team. You hate to not win when you start up front, but we were just a little off from where we needed to be in the feature, and there were a few things I could’ve done a little different as well. We’ll take another Top 5 though and head to Cherokee this weekend,” Sheppard said.
Mother Nature scrambled weekend action by shifting Friday’s event to Sunday and axing Saturday’s Indiana Icebreaker at Brownstown Speedway (Brownstown, Ind.). Finally finding a place to race on Sunday, Rocket1 Racing pilot Brandon Sheppard followed the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) to Atomic Speedway (Chillicothe, Ohio) for the Buckeye Spring 50.
In a field of 31 entries, Sheppard followed up the second-fastest time in his group with a heat race victory. He raced in the Top 5 throughout the 50-lap feature, before ultimately notching a fifth-place finish, which came behind Jimmy Owens, Devin Moran, Tyler Erb, and Hudson O’Neal.
Full results from the event are available at www.LucasDirt.com .
The team now prepares to head to South Carolina this weekend for the second annual Rock Gault Memorial at Cherokee Speedway. The World of Outlaws CASE Construction Late Models will battle for $10,000 on Friday night and a $20,000 top prize on Saturday night. The weekend slate is co-sanctioned by the Xtreme DIRTcar Series.
Entering the weekend’s doubleheader Brandon currently sits fourth in the latest series standings, just 52 markers out of the top spot.

No Brakes, No Problem for Austin Horton in Senoia Sweep
Races to First Feature Victory of 2022 Campaign
NEWNAN, Ga. (03/22/22) – Despite having no brakes and having to overcome tricky track conditions courtesy of Mother Nature, Austin Horton was able to pilot his Orr’s Trucking No. 16 Super K Express/ Horton Flyer/ XR1 Rocket Chassis / Bobby Thomas Racing Engine Late Model to the feature win on Saturday night at Georgia’s Senoia Raceway.
“First win of 2022 is checked off the list! This yellow car has been great to me and the Bobby Thomas Racing Engine under the hood was on point. As good as we were, we still have some work to do as I had no brakes. Mother Nature didn’t make things easy either, but at the end of the night we got the job done and we’ll look ahead to the next one,” Horton said. “I appreciate all my sponsors, family, and friends that stick with me. I also want to say a big ‘thank you’ to Senoia Raceway for supplying us such a great place to race.”
On Saturday evening, Austin Horton returned to Senoia Raceway (Senoia, Ga.), where he competed in the Limited Late Model portion of the Weekly Racing Series Event.

He took the checkers 3.097 seconds ahead of Jason Turner with Jacques Daniel, Lawson Hill, and Dennis Hale rounding out the Top-5.
