Brandon Sheppard Posts Consistent Weekend at Show-Me 100
Rises to Second in LOLMDS Points Chase
SHINNISTON, W. VA. (May 26, 2026) — Brandon Sheppard capped a consistent weekend with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series by scoring a runner-up finish in Sunday’s rain-delayed Show-Me 100 finale at Lucas Oil Speedway aboard the Rocket1 Racing / Valvoline / Seubert Calf Ranches No. 1 Late Model.
With a pair of preliminary top-10 finishes and a second-place effort in Sunday’s finale, Sheppard extended his streak to 15 consecutive top-10 finishes dating back to March 7 at Golden Isles Speedway.
“I think we had a little different tire combination than Bobby,” Sheppard said. “I felt like I couldn’t run many laps around the top before it started to go away, so I was trying to really hit the bottom in turns three and four and slowly creep toward him. I probably didn’t move around enough, but I was trying to take care of my tires. A lot of guys on the same tire strategy faded late.”
The 34th annual Show-Me 100 presented by Ace Doran began Thursday, but late showers following the consolation races forced Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series officials to postpone the Cowboy Classic feature until later Friday evening.
In Friday’s Tribute to Don & Billie Gibson preliminary, Sheppard backed up a third-place heat race finish with a strong charge from 14th to 3rd in the 40-lap feature.
Later that night, he rallied from the eighth row in the rain-delayed Cowboy Classic finale, gaining five positions to finish 10th in the $10,000-to-win main event.
Locked into Sunday’s rain-delayed $75,000-to-win Show-Me 100 via his preliminary results, Sheppard advanced four positions in the 75-lap finale to secure a runner-up finish. He joined winner Bobby Pierce and third-place finisher Jonathan Davenport on the podium.
With the weekend results, Sheppard climbed to second in the latest LOLMDS point standings.
