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.

        <strong><em>It's the Robeline,  LA driver's second World of Outlaws win of 2021</em></strong><br>
        <strong>SEYMOUR, WI – AUGUST  3, 2021 –</strong> Finding Victory Lane at the right time can turn a  driver&rsquo;s season around. That&rsquo;s precisely what Cade Dillard did Tuesday to win  the FVP Platinum Battery Showdown at Outagamie Speedway.&nbsp;<br>
Dillard jumped on the roof of his car with joy, and signs of  relief showing from the smile beaming across his face.</p>
      <p>The Robeline, LA driver, made his move on a Lap 15 restart. He ran  down Brandon Overton in two laps, dove to the bottom in Turn 3, and slid up in  front of &ldquo;Big Sexy&rdquo; to take the lead. Dillard used his momentum to drive away  from Overton, pounding the cushion with speed to collect the $10,000 prize.</p>
      <p>The &ldquo;Thriller&rsquo;s&rdquo; fourth career World of Outlaws win comes in a  season with few bright spots so far.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
      <p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s been a really tough year, and things haven&rsquo;t went our way,&rdquo;  Dillard said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been changing a lot on the car just to find something to  get it clicking again. I knew [Brandon Overton] and [Brandon Sheppard] would be  hard to compete with when we were lined up in staging. So to be able to outrun  those guys is very rewarding for us.&quot;</p>
      <p>The Lap 15 caution, involving then race leader Ryan Gustin changed  the entire complexion of the race. Dillard was running third when &ldquo;The Reaper&rdquo;  spun, putting him on the second row for the restart. That&rsquo;s when Dillard stated  some luck fell his way as Brandon Sheppard chose the bottom lane while running  second.&nbsp;</p>
      <p>&ldquo;I really expected [Sheppard] to restart on the top,&rdquo; Dillard  said. &ldquo;I think there was a little mud on the bottom to kind of get you going,  but I think it just so wore out down there, so we were lucky to get a good jump  right there because if the roles were reversed and he was upfront, he would&rsquo;ve  been hard to get by.&nbsp;</p>
      <p>Sheppard settled for second, his 16th podium finish of 2021. He  also extended his points lead over Chris Madden to 88.&nbsp;</p>
      <p>The New Berlin, IL driver knew passing Dillard would be a  challenging climb to the lead once he got into second.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
      <p>&ldquo;[Dillard] was in the preferred line there, and once I got to him,  I knew he was going to be tough to pass just because he rolled the top about as  good as I could,&rdquo; Sheppard said. &ldquo;I could turn off of it and keep up with him,  but I just wasn&rsquo;t fast enough down low to be able to pass him.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
      <p>Madden followed Sheppard over the line in third after passing  Overton late for the podium position.</p>
      <p>The Gray Court, SC campaigner thinks he&rsquo;s close to finding his way  back into the win column.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
      <p>&ldquo;I know what I need; I just got to figure out how to get it,&rdquo;  Madden said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re missing just a little bit right now, we&rsquo;re steady and  getting podium finishes, but I need just a little bit to get back into Victory  Lane.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
      <p>Even though Dillard won the race, Gustin put on a show. He seemed  destined to win his first Morton Buildings Feature before the incident on Lap  15, when trouble in traffic forced him to spin in Turn 3.&nbsp;</p>
      <p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know what that [lap car] was doing,&rdquo; Gustin said. &ldquo;It  looked like he was going to the bottom, and he pulled it to the right at the  last minute, and I was already on the gas and couldn&rsquo;t get off it. I tried and  just ran it straight into the fence.&rdquo;</p>
      <p>After re-starting at the tail of the field, &ldquo;The Reaper&rdquo; was on a  mission. He continuously ripped his right-rear tire off the cushion, thundering  past drivers on the outside to grab a fourth-place finish.&nbsp;</p>
      <p>&ldquo;I was just mad,&rdquo; Gustin said. &ldquo;I was trying to get as many points  as we can after we get wrecked leading. I thought it was our night, but it just  wasn&rsquo;t meant to be.&rdquo;</p>
      <p>Brandon Overton finished fifth, his seventh top-five with the  World of Outlaws in 2021.&nbsp;</p>
      <p>Cade Dillard&rsquo;s win Tuesday gives his team momentum heading into a  Crown Jewel event. If the &ldquo;Thriller&rdquo; can build off his triumph, he may be able  to put his bad luck in the rear-view mirror and turn the season around.</p>
