Brandon Sheppard Records $15k Payday at Atomic
Rocket1 Racing Back in Action on Tuesday and Wednesday

SHINNSTON, W.Va. (04/25/22) – Rocket1 Racing and Brandon Sheppard made history on Saturday night in World of Outlaws (WoO) CASE Late Model Series action at Atomic Speedway. Not only did the team record the $15,000 victory, but with the triumph Sheppard tied Josh Richards atop the all-time series win list with 78-career trips to Victory Lane.

The victory was the team’s first of the year in WoO action and was the fifth overall on the season with their Valvoline / Seubert Calf Ranches No. 1 Ace Metal Works / XR1 Rocket Chassis / Durham Racing Engine Super Late Model.

Additionally, the redeeming triumph came one night after Sheppard’s apparent runner-up finish was nixed by a post-race tech infraction at the Ohio oval.

“Hopefully we can keep some speed going here and hopefully pass the droop rule (inspection) afterwards,” Sheppard said with his sly smile. “Friday night’s disqualification was just a really random deal, and if anything it just inspired us to work that much harder on Saturday, and we got the win.”

In regards to tying former Rocket1 Racing pilot, Josh Richards at top the World of Outlaws’ all-time win list, Sheppard admitted his accomplishments with the series have surpassed his wildest dreams.

“I would’ve liked to hope (to someday become the all-time winningest WoO driver), but you just never know,” said Sheppard, the four-time and defending WoO champion. “When I started my dad and my grandpa gave me everything I needed to get going, and I’m just thankful for them and for Mark Richards for picking me up back in 2012.”

The World of Outlaws Case Late Model Series returned to action on Friday evening at Atomic Speedway (Alma, Ohio) with Brandon Sheppard and the Rocket 1 Racing team on hand at the 4/10-mile oval for opening round of the two-day event.

With 35 Late Models entered, Sheppard claimed the Slick Woody's Quick Time Award in qualifying with a 13.310-second lap before placing first in his heat. Unable to overtake polesitter Tyler Erb late in the 40-lap feature, Sheppard crossed the line in second but was later disqualified in post-race tech for a droop rule infraction. He was credited with a 25th-place finish.

On Saturday, Brandon secured a spot in the redraw with a convincing heat race victory. Rolling off third for the feature, Sheppard stole the lead from Max Blair on lap 17 and led the remainder of the 50-lapper to capture Rocket1 Racing’s fifth win of the season and the $15,000 paycheck. He finished ahead of Dennis Erb Jr., Max Blair, Gordy Gundaker, and Devin Moran.
His 78th-career World of Outlaws triumph now ties him atop the list with Josh Richards.

Rocket1 Racing returns to action on Tuesday and Wednesday with a Castrol FloRacing Night in America double dip in Ohio and Indiana. The team will enter $22,022-to-win programs on Tuesday at Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, Ohio) and on Wednesday at Brownstown (Ind.) Speedway.

Tyler Erb Secures $10,000 Outlaws Victory at Atomic
Four-Race Week on Tap for Best Performance Motorsports

ST. MARYS, Ohio (04/25/22) – Tyler Erb continued his recent hot hand with another triumph on Friday night. His latest trip to the Winner’s Circle was worth $10,000 and came at Ohio’s Atomic Speedway in his Bulk Material Lift / M&W Transport No. 1 Best Performance Motorsports / First Class Septic / XR1 Rocket Chassis/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

The win pushed the team’s 2022 victory total to three.

“Got the ‘W’ Friday night and got the flat tire Saturday night,” Erb quipped. “I’m really proud of where our team is at right now. We struggled a little bit there during Speedweeks but since then we’ve turned the heat up. We have so many great people, who support this team and never give up on us, and I thank them all. We got a big week of racing in front of us, and we are ready to go chase some big checks.”

On Friday evening, Best Performance Motorsports pilot Tyler Erb visited Atomic Speedway (Alma, Ohio) to compete in a doubleheader weekend with the World of Outlaws CASE Late Model Series.

In a field of 35 cars, Erb clocked in second-fastest in his group before cruising to a heat race win. Receiving the pole position for the feature via the redraw, Tyler fended off fellow front-row starter Brandon Sheppard for the duration of the 40-lap affair to claim his third win of the season and his third-career series triumph.

Leading flag-to-flag, Erb pocketed the $10,000 prize ahead of Josh Rice, Tanner English, Dennis Erb Jr., and Jacob Hawkins.

The following night, Tyler’s second-place finish in his heat race promoted him into the redraw. Starting the $15,000-to-win finale in eighth, Erb suffered a flat right-rear tire in the closing laps that dropped him back to 20th when the checkered flag flew.

Full results from the weekend’s action as well as complete standings are available at www.LucasDirt.com .

Best Performance Motorsports is locked and loaded for a busy week of racing, which includes four races in five days across Ohio and Illinois. The chaotic swing roars to life with a pair of $22,022-to-win Castrol FloRacing Night in America events on Tuesday and Wednesday at Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, Ohio) and Brownstown (Ind.) Speedway.

The team will then be idle on Thursday before resuming Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) competition on Friday and Saturday with trips to Tri-City Speedway (Pontoon Beach, Ill.) and Macon (Ill.) Speedway.

HYNDMAN, Pa. (04/25/22) – Drake Troutman enjoyed a successful weekend of racing. He visited Victory Lane in the Legend Car division on Wednesday at Millbridge Speedway and on Saturday in the Modified division at Bedford Speedway.

His Legend Car win came in the Three Sixteen Motorsports No. 19 entry and the Modified win came in the RFI Resources / Smith Transport No. 7 Wheeler Fleet Solutions / MB Customs racecar.

Troutman now holds six wins on the season.

“It was a busy weekend, but it was a great one. We had a lot of fun and got some victories along the way,” Troutman said. “I appreciate Three Sixteen Motorsports for having me driving their Legend Car again. They have top-notch equipment, but even more they are great people. Then, on Saturday we took our Modified to Victory Lane at County Line (Raceway). Again, it was just a great weekend of racing with some great folks.”

Competing in the midweek event, Drake Troutman entered the Three Sixteen Motorsports No. 19 Legend Car into battle at Millbridge Speedway (Salisbury, N.C.) on Wednesday evening for the Wednesday Summer Series event.
