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>Lonnie Wheatley, LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (September 1, 2021) – The  annual tradition continues in just one month. </p>
      <p>The tradition of the Sprint Car racing masses congregating  upon Little Rock, Arkansas, as I-30 Speedway hosts the 34th Annual  COMP Cams Short Track Nationals presented by Hoosier Tires. </p>
      <p>This year&rsquo;s $10,041-to-win tilt will take place on September  30, October 1 and October 2 atop the high-banked ¼-mile clay oval. </p>
      <p>A Thursday night, September 30, Test N&rsquo; Tune session from  6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. will precede Friday&rsquo;s preliminary action followed up by  Saturday night&rsquo;s championship slate of events. </p>
      <p>An event with such great tradition that boasts a past  winner&rsquo;s list with names such as Kinser, Swindell, Bell, Sweet and more, it&rsquo;s  also an event that continues to evolve to keep fans on the edge of their seats  throughout. </p>
      <p>This year&rsquo;s rendition offers up a format that is a melding  of All Star and Sprintcar Classic formats. </p>
      <p>Friday&rsquo;s preliminary event will be contested under a  derivative of the All Star Circuit of Champions format, with group qualifying  setting heat race lineups.&nbsp; The Friday preliminary will conclude with  &ldquo;Twin 20&rsquo;s&rdquo;, a pair of $1,500-to-win 20-lap &ldquo;A&rdquo; Main events. </p>
      <p>The top two from each of the &ldquo;Twin 20&rsquo;s&rdquo; will be locked into  Saturday night&rsquo;s &ldquo;Dash for Cash&rdquo; and the championship main event. </p>
      <p>Event points accumulated from Friday night&rsquo;s qualifying,  heat races and feature events will set Saturday night heat race lineups with  more points from those setting the balance of Saturday night feature  lineups.&nbsp; Additionally, the top two in accumulated points after Saturday  heats will join the four Friday night lock-ins in the &ldquo;Dash for Cash&rdquo;. </p>
      <p>The adjusted format will only amp up the intensity each time  the cars are on track, likely making for yet another legendary edition of the  Short Track Nationals. </p>
      <p>Last year, Sam Hafertepe, Jr., finally broke into STN  championship victory lane for the first time after three previous preliminary  wins and three runner-up finishes.&nbsp; The Sunnyvale, TX, racer battled past  Roger Crockett at the midway point and went on to become the 19th  different STN winner ahead of Derek Hagar and Crockett. </p>
      <p>Hall of Famers Sammy Swindell and Gary Wright top the STN  win charts with five and four triumphs respectively with other past event  winners including the likes of NASCAR Cup Series title contender Christopher  Bell, Hafertepe, Jr., Blake Hahn, Paul McMahan, Brad Sweet, Tony Bruce, Jr.,  Jason Meyers, Jason Johnson, Tim Montgomery, Jason Sides, Mike Ward, Tim  Crawley, Wayne Johnson, Pete Butler, Terry Gray, John Gerloff and Steve Kinser. </p>
