FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sheppard finished 0.499 second behind Kyle Larson in the $15,000-to-win finale, which was sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. After slipping to a third-place finish in his heat race, Brandon was locked into the 16th starting spot on the grid for the 30-lap feature. With $10,000 on the line, Sheppard rallied into the Top-10 to cross the finish line in eighth. On Friday, the winner’s purse increased to $12,000. Brandon charged to a heat race victory earning him the third starting spot on the 40-lap feature. Unfortunately, persistent rain forced officials to cancel the balance of the program before the main event could get underway. Returning to the half-mile oval on Saturday, Sheppard set the overall fast time and claimed a heat race victory to earn the pole position for the $15,000-to-win main event. Larson, the outside front-row starter, grabbed the lead at the start of the 50-lapper. Sheppard held the second spot until Hudson O’Neal was able to get by on lap 11. Regaining the runner-up spot near the midway point, he began pressuring Larson for the top spot. Brandon closed the gap as the frontrunners entered lap traffic late in the race, but never close enough to make a serious bid for the lead. Sheppard crossed the line in second behind Larson, with Gregg Satterlee, Chris Ferguson, and Tim McCreadie rounding out the Top-5. Full results from these events can be found at www.LucasDirt.com. This weekend, the Rocket1 team returns to the World of Outlaws Late Model Series circuit. A doubleheader kicks off on Friday, September 4 at Lavonia (Ga.) Speedway, followed by a Saturday, September 5 stop at Lancaster (S.C.) Motor Speedway. Both events pay $10,000-to-win. To learn more about these events, please visit www.WoOLMS.com.

Contact: Shawn Miller Starks Tackling World of Outlaws Event at Huset's Speedway This Weekend Inside Line Promotions - PUYALLUP, Wash. (Aug. 31, 2020) - Trey Starks is heading to Huset's Speedway this weekend for a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series event. The Gobrecht Motorsports driver will compete on Saturday and Sunday at the high-banked oval in Brandon, S.D., where Starks made his debut earlier this month. He qualified 12th quickest overall and advanced from fifth to third place in a heat race before capping the night with a 20 th-place result in the A Main. "I felt like we were pretty solid up until the feature," he said. "It was nice to get on a short track again. Come feature-time we didn't make the adjustments that we needed, but we had a solid qualifying effort and ran well in the heat race. I think we have a good baseline to start with this weekend. We just have to tune it up for the feature when the track gets slick. In a lot of ways it emulates Skagit Speedway, so that works into our hand a little bit. "I'd like to get rolling consistent again. To make both features would be nice. We'd like to start from there and build momentum." The remainder of the 2020 season is up in the air for Gobrecht Motorsports. The team competed full time at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, for the second straight year. The track announced last week that the final four races of 2020 were canceled because of COVID-19 concerns. Starks finished ninth in the championship standings after earning five top 10s. "It was definitely different," he said. "It was hard to get a rhythm going. I'm happy with some of our results. Early in the Knoxville season we had a combination that wasn't working. The opportunity to build on something was there, but it seemed like there wasn't enough races and we didn't string enough good results together to build momentum. I'm hoping we can end the season on a strong note during however many races we have remaining."
