Rocket1 Racing Doubles Down in WoO Weekend Winner’s Circle
Bookends Four-Race Weekend with Wins at Orange County and Eriez
SHINNSTON, W.Va. (08/23/21) – Brandon Sheppard parked the Rocket1 Racing / Valvoline No. 1 Seubert Calf Ranches / Durham Racing Engines-powered XR1 Rocket Chassis Super Late Model in Victory Lane twice over the four-race weekend.
He won on Thursday night at New York’s Orange County Fair Speedway and then wrapped up the swing with another victory at Pennsylvania’s Eriez Speedway. Both wins were worth $10,000 and allowed him to extend his advantage atop the latest World of Outlaws (WoO) Morton Buildings Late Model Series standings.
"It's really cool, a new track, to get a win here," Sheppard said after leading all but five laps in his Thursday night debut at Orange County Fair Speedway. "It's pretty awesome. Any time you can win in New York, that's a longways from my home, so it's pretty cool. My right-rear tire was going down the last couple of laps there, and I was really laid over on the right rear. Man, he (Max Blair) definitely made me work for it. That was a heckuva fun race, and I've gotta say thanks to Max for driving me really clean there. It was a lot of fun to race with him.”
On Sunday night Sheppard notched his 75th career win in WoO competition at Eriez Speedway, which leaves him just three triumphs behind the all-time series win leader, Josh Richards.
“It’s really awesome to get our 75th Outlaw win,” Sheppard said. “I’m definitely proud of my guys, proud of my team. This team that Mark (Richards) put together here has just been a dream come true for me over the past five years, so it means a lot to me to get to drive this thing. Our team is finally starting to its stride, so hopefully we can end the year with a lot of wins.”
Kicking off a four-race eastern swing with the World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series, Rocket1 Racing and Brandon Sheppard trekked to Orange County Fair Speedway (Middletown, N.Y.) on Thursday afternoon to return to competition after a week off.
With 22 Late Models on hand, Sheppard’s eight-lap heat race win promoted him into the redraw. Receiving the pole position for the A-Main, Brandon relinquished the top spot early but stole the lead on the fifth lap after Rick Eckert suffered mechanical issues. Holding off Chris Madden and Max Blair in the waning laps as his right-rear tire was deflating, Sheppard limped to his sixth win of the season, which came over Blair, Tyler Bruening, Stewart Friesen, and Dan Stone. He earned $10,000 for his 74th career series victory.
Battling for another $10,000 payday on Friday evening at Williams Grove Speedway (Mechanicsburg, Pa.), Brandon secured his spot into the feature with a heat race victory. Starting in third, Sheppard slipped as far back as eighth but regained some momentum late in the 40-lapper to cross the line in sixth.
The following night at Sharon Speedway (Hartford, Ohio) for the Battle at the Border, Sheppard topped the 28-car field in time trials before picking up a heat win. Losing one spot in the 40-lap feature, Brandon notched a third-place finish. He followed Kyle Larson and Ryan Gustin across the line with Tyler Bruening and Colton Flinner rounding out the Top-5.
For the weekend finale on Sunday at Eriez Speedway (Erie, Pa.), Brandon posted a runner-up finish in his heat race, sending him into the redraw. Rolling off on the pole, Sheppard wrestled away the lead on the fifth lap and ran the rest of the race virtually uncontested to capture his seventh win of the season and 75th career World of Outlaws triumph. He pocketed $10,000 for his winning performance.
With a pair of wins, Sheppard extended his lead over Chris Madden by 158 in the latest World of Outlaws point standings.

The team now turns their attention to Iowa as they invade Davenport Speedway for this weekend’s World of Outlaws Quad Cities 150. The three-race weekend opens with $10,000-to-win events on Thursday and Friday, followed by a $30,000-to-win finale on Saturday night.
Over $208,000 in total prize money is on the line throughout the course of the three-day affair.

Ashton Winger Sweeps Final Two 2021 Hell Tour Events in Michigan
Claims $10,000 Victories at Tri-City & Merritt
HAMPTON, Ga. (08/23/21) – Ashton Winger ended his freshman year on DIRTcar Nationals trail with a bang. The Georgia racer won the final two races of the miniseries at Michigan’s Tri-City Motor Speedway and Merritt Speedway.
He collected $10,000 for each victory in his E-Z-GO No. 12 Dekalb / Johnny Doan Plumbing/ Keyser Manufacturing/ XR1 Rocket Chassis / Pro Power Racing Engine Super Late Model. With the triumphs his 2021-win total grew to eight.
“The way we’re running right now, I almost wish this deal was just getting started,” the 21-year-old Winger said following Saturday night’s victory at Merritt Speedway. “The good thing about winning this one is we can celebrate it a while. When you run every day like we do on this deal, people forget about who wins pretty quick. Finishing it up the way we did, winning both of these last two races, it’s going to be something cool to look back on. I’ve had a blast, but now I’m excited to head back to Georgia. I even get to race at my home track (Senoia Raceway) this Saturday, so I’m really looking forward to that.”
Ashton Winger invaded Butler Motor Speedway (Butler, Mich.) on Wednesday afternoon, where he entered his Johnny Doan Plumbing No. 12 Late Model into battle for the final week with the DIRTcar Summer Nationals.
After topping the 24-car field in time trials, Winger outdueled Rusty Schlenk in his heat race to pick up the win. Receiving the third-starting position for the $5,000-to-win A-Main via the redraw, Ashton nosed ahead of Devin Moran late in the 40-lapper to secure a runner-up finish. He followed Bobby Pierce across the line with Moran, Mitch McGrath, and Rusty Schlenk rounding out the Top-5.
On Thursday at I-96 Speedway (Lake Odessa, Mich.) with another $5,000 prize on the line, Ashton came in third in his heat before passing four cars in the feature to register a third-place finish.
The following night at Tri-City Motor Speedway (Auburn, Mich.), Winger’s 10-lap heat race win promoted him into the redraw. Rolling off third, Ashton tracked down early pacesetter Frank Heckenast Jr. on the 18th circuit and stole the lead on an ensuing restart. He turned back Devin Moran’s late charge to capture his seventh win of the season and a $10,000 prize. Moran, Heckenast Jr., Tanner English, and Donna Marcoullier trailed him to the checkers.
To wrap up his first year on tour with the DIRTcar Summer Nationals, Ashton stopped at Merritt Speedway (Merritt, Mich.) on Saturday evening. With a heat race win sending him into the redraw, Winger slipped back to second on the start but began closing in on fellow front-row starter Travis Stemler on lap 15. Rocketing past the leader two circuits later, Ashton streaked to his second win as many nights over Devin Moran, Stemler, Chad Finley, and Tanner English. He earned $10,000 for his eighth win of the season along with the $2,000 for the weekly points title.
He was also awarded a $11,600 payday for finishing second in the DIRTcar Summer Nationals point standings.

The team has a single event on the schedule for this week with a Saturday night trip to Senoia (Ga.) Raceway for the Mike Head Jr. Memorial. The Southern All-Star Dirt Racing Series event posts a $5,054 top prize.
Back in May, Winger claimed a $4,044 win at the Georgia oval with a Southern All-Star triumph.

LOLMDS Port Royal Speedway Triple Header Up Next
INDIANA, Pa. (08/23/21) – Gregg Satterlee banked his first World of Outlaws (WoO) Morton Buildings Late Model Series win of the season on Saturday night at Williams Grove Speedway.
The $10,000 victory came aboard his Satterlee Motorsports No. 22 Keyser Manufacturing/ Valvoline/ Classic Ink/ XR1 Rocket Chassis / Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model and marked his eighth win of the year.
“It’s hard to believe it has been seven years since I won an Outlaws’ race,” Satterlee said in Victory Lane after being reminded that his last win with the tour came in 2014 at Delaware International Speedway. “The start to the race was key, and then lapped traffic was also dicey. Thankfully, everything fell my way and we got another victory.
“We’re really having a solid year, and I can’t thank everyone enough who supports this team. We’ll head to one of my favorite tracks this weekend (Port Royal Speedway) and see if we can’t win one or two more.”
Gregg Satterlee joined the World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series on Friday evening as 27 entries invaded Williams Grove Speedway (Mechanicsburg, Pa.). After starting the night by registering the sixth-fastest qualifying effort, Gregg scored a second-place finish in his heat. With the redraw placing him second on the starting grid for the feature, Satterlee led wire-to-wire in the 40-lapper to record his fourth-career series win and eighth overall of 2021. He finished ahead of Chris Madden, Kyle Hardy, Rick Eckert, and Matt Cosner to claim the $10,000 top prize.
The following night at Sharon Speedway (Hartford, Ohio) for the World of Outlaws Battle at the Border, Satterlee gained two spots in his heat race to finish second. Starting the $10,000-to-win A-Main in sixth, Gregg faded four positions in the 40-lap affair to finish 10th.
For full results from these events, please visit www.WorldofOutlaws.com.
This Thursday – Saturday, Satterlee Motorsports will travel to Port Royal (Pa.) Speedway for a Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) triple header. Thursday’s feature posts a $10,000 top prize, while a $12,000 winner’s check is on the line on Friday and a whopping $30,000 is posted for Saturday night’s winner.

Brian Shirley Bags $3,000 MARS Victory at Peoria
World of Outlaws Quad Cities 150 on Deck this Week
CHILTON, Wis. (08/23/21) – Brian Shirley pushed his 2021-win total to seven on Friday night by topping Peoria Speedway’s $3,000-to-win, Mid America Racing Series (MARS) event in his Bob Cullen Racing / Thomason Express No. 3s J&J Ventures & Gaming/ Hoker Trucking / XR1 Rocket Chassis / Durham Racing Engine Super Late Model.
The victory came in a hard-fought feature against a fellow Illini’ driver.
“There a couple of times I ran into the back of (Ryan Unzicker) to let him know we were there,” Shirley said. “Finally, luckily I got a good enough run and was (up) to him, but he still decided to slide up into us. Luckily it didn’t take us out and it wasn’t no big deal. It’s just hard racing and hopefully if the roles are reversed, he’s not mad about it. It was a good race, and I’m happy that we came out on top.
“It’s been a little bit since we’ve got a win, so hopefully this will turn our luck as we get ready for a big weekend at Davenport Speedway with the World of Outlaws. As always thank you to each-and-every sponsor on this racecar. I couldn’t do it without them.”
Bob Cullen Racing pilot, Brian Shirley returned to action on Friday evening at Peoria Speedway (Peoria, Ill.) with the opening round of a scheduled doubleheader weekend with the MARS Super Late Models. In a field of 14 entries, Shirley’s heat race win positioned him second on the starting grid for the opening night feature.
Stealing the lead from polesitter Ryan Unzicker on the fifth circuit, Brian raced to his seventh win of the season and 20th career series victory. He finished ahead of Jason Feger, Unzicker, Rich Bell, and Todd Bennett to pocket $3,000.
Saturday’s $5,000-to-win finale at Peoria Speedway fell victim to Mother Nature.
