Brandon Sheppard Scores MARS Victory at Farmer City Raceway
Prepares to Return to WoO Competition this Weekend
NEW BERLIN, Ill. (05/17/21) – Brandon Sheppard triumphantly returned to the seat of his family-owned Dennis G. Woodworth Attorney at Law No. B5 Valvoline/ The Goddard School for Early Childhood Development/ Pro Power Racing Engines/ Rocket Chassis Super Late Model over the weekend.
In three events spread across four days, Sheppard recorded three podium finishes, including a $10,000 win on Friday night at Farmer City Raceway.
“We had a great weekend of racing close to home with a lot of our family and friends around us. It’s always special to get to drive my family-owned car again, and to take it to Victory Lane in just our second race of the year meant a lot,†Sheppard said. “Not only am I excited about what we were able to accomplish this weekend, but I’m also very excited to return to the Rocket House Car this weekend in Outlaws competition. We’ve made a lot of gains with that program over the past month, and I always enjoy racing at Port Royal Speedway.â€
For the first time in 2021 Brandon Sheppard entered his family-owned No. B5 Late Model into action at Brownstown Speedway (Brownstown, Ind.) on Wednesday evening with the Castrol FloRacing Night in America. With a 10-lap heat race victory positioning him third on the starting grid for the $10,000-to-win A-Main, Brandon slipped one spot in the 40-lap affair to register a fourth-place finish. He trailed Kyle Larson, Tanner English, and Jonathan Davenport to the checkers with Mike Marlar coming in fifth.
On Friday afternoon at Farmer City Raceway (Farmer City, Ill.) for the MARS Racing Series-sanctioned Farmer City 74, Sheppard topped the 28-car field in time trials before picking up a 10-lap heat race victory. Receiving the pole position for the main event via the redraw, Brandon led flag-to-flag in the 75-lapper to capture his third win of the season and a $10,000 prize. Winning by nearly a three-second margin, Sheppard topped Bobby Pierce, Tanner English, Dennis Erb Jr., and McKay Wenger at the line.
The following night at Fairbury Speedway (Fairbury, Ill.) for the Spring Showcase, Brandon locked into the second-starting position for the $15,000-to-win A-Main with a 10-lap heat race victory. Fading two spots in the 50-lap affair, Sheppard notched a fourth-place finish, following Tanner English, Dennis Erb Jr., and Brian Shirley across the line with Ryan Unzicker completing the Top-5 finishers.
