DIRTcar Summer Nationals Champion Adds To Career Year With Triumph Over Richards<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"080113_CLSThursVL\"NEW RICHMOND, WI \u2013 Aug. 1, 2013 \u2013 The greatest summer of Brandon Sheppard\u2019s life grew even better\u00a0on Thursday\u00a0night at Cedar Lake Speedway.<\/p>\n

Building on the career-first DIRTcar Summer Nationals \u2018Hell Tour\u2019 title he clinched less than two weeks ago, Sheppard drove to a convincing $6,000 victory in the 40-lap World of Outlaws Late Model Series A-Main that kicked off the 26th<\/sup>\u00a0annual USA Nationals weekend.<\/p>\n

Sheppard, 20, of New Berlin, Ill., started from the pole position and controlled the entire distance. He hammered his family-owned Rocket car around the top side of the high-banked, three-eighths-mile oval to register his second career WoO LMS triumph without receiving a single serious challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been working hard a lot of years, me and my dad (veteran racer Steve Sheppard Jr.), to try and accomplish that Summer Nationals deal,\u201d said Sheppard, who became the youngest champion in the history of the famed \u2018Hell Tour.\u2019 \u201cTo finally do it was really uplifting for me. It was almost like a weight lifted off my shoulders. There\u2019s not as much pressure now. We can go out there and know we can run with them all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

WoO LMS points leader Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., crossed the finish line 2.051 seconds behind Sheppard in his Rocket Chassis house car after slipping by Shannon Babb of Moweaqua, Ill., for the runner-up spot on lap 37. Babb settled for third place in his Victory Circle mount, Don O\u2019Neal of Martinsville, Ind., placed fourth in Larry Moring\u2019s MasterSbilt car and World of Outlaws rookie Eric Wells of Hazard, Ky., finished fifth after starting from the outside pole.<\/p>\n

The night belonged to Sheppard, who two years ago made a stirring run into the top five in the USA Nationals 100 before breaking and last year entered the event in the Rocket Chassis house car that he drove for much of the 2012 season while Richards raced on the NASCAR Nationwide Series.<\/p>\n

Driving a 2007-vintage car that his team purchased two years ago from fellow Illinois driver Brian Shirley, Sheppard thrust himself onto the list of favorites to capture the $50,000 top prize on the line in\u00a0Saturday\u00a0night\u2019s 100-lap USA Nationals finale.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is by far my favorite racetrack,\u201d said Sheppard, who reached Victory Lane for the first time at the Badger State facility. \u201cSince the day I came here, I\u2019ve loved it. It\u2019s super racing. It\u2019s hammer-down, get-up-on-the-wheel, run-the-cushion \u2013 just like our Midwest tracks. I definitely get along with it pretty good, so we\u2019re looking forward to\u00a0tomorrow\u00a0and\u00a0Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sheppard dominated the preliminary event, leading by as much as a straightaway when not slowed by lapped traffic. Caution flags on laps 18 and 29 cleared slower cars out of the picture for B-Shepp and then he took care of the rest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just knew that I had to stay up on the wheel and run every lap as hard as I could \u2013 just stay consistent and not mess up,\u201d said Sheppard, whose previous WoO LMS victory came behind the wheel of the Rocket Chassis house car on Sept. 14, 2012, at Belle-Clair Speedway in Belleville, Ill. \u201cThat\u2019s what you gotta do when you\u2019re running against this much competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that we know that we can do it, there\u2019s gonna be the same amount of competitiontomorrow\u00a0night and\u00a0Saturday\u00a0night \u2013 and maybe a couple more (drivers) \u2013 so we\u2019re real confident.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richards, 25, was able to slice more than a half-second off Sheppard\u2019s lead after finally grabbing second place from Babb on lap 37, but the two-time WoO LMS champion didn\u2019t have enough time to catch his rising-star understudy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt end of the race I was way too tight to run the top so it forced me to work with the bottom,\u201d said Richards, who started fifth. \u201cI found a pretty good line there slow on the bottom and I felt like we were pretty good. I feel like if it was a 50-lapper we might have had something for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Brandon did a great job. If we couldn\u2019t win, he\u2019s the next person I\u2019d like to see win. It\u2019s good to see the young guys win. It\u2019s good for the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second-place finish pushed Richards\u2019s WoO LMS points lead to 78 points over Shane Clanton of Zebulon, Ga., who finished sixth after starting 13\u00a0th<\/sup>. That gap will not change the rest of the weekend since the USA Nationals 100 offers only show-up points because it will not be run using the normal WoO LMS qualifying format.<\/p>\n

Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., finished seventh after starting 14th, falling 98 points behind Richards in the WoO LMS standings. Rick Eckert of York, Pa., used a points provisional to start 25th<\/sup>\u00a0in the A-Main but battled forward to finish eighth.WoO LMS rookie Morgan Bagley of Longview, Texas, settled for a ninth-place finish after starting sixth and Jason Feger of Bloomington, Ill., rounded out the top 10 in his first WoO LMS start following the conclusion of the three-month suspension from WoO and DIRTcar UMP competition he served after a tire he used during April\u2019s Illini 100 at Farmer City (Ill.) Raceway failed a laboratory test.<\/p>\n

Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, Ga., brought out the race\u2019s first caution flag on lap 18 when \u2013 while running sixth \u2013 he stopped in turn two with flames visible under his hood. He said a pressure tube out of his Team Dillon car\u2019s fuel-pressure gauge apparently vibrated and caused the back of the gauge to break, leading to an arc off the gauge light that sent fire into his cockpit. A flame was visible on McDowell\u2019s leg when he climbed out of his car, but it was quickly extinguished and he wasn\u2019t burned.<\/p>\n

Later, on lap 29, Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y., slowed in turn four with damage to the right-front suspension of his Sweeteners Plus car. It appeared that he got the worst of a Clanton\/Feger scrape underneath him as all three drivers battled for a spot inside the top 10.<\/p>\n

Fifty-two cars were entered in the program, which was run under almost perfect clear and seasonably warm conditions.<\/p>\n

Ohlins Shocks Time Trials were split into \u2018A\u2019 and \u2018B\u2019 groups, with the first half competing for starting positions in heats 1-3 and the second half racing against the clock to align heats 4-6.<\/p>\n

Babb registered the overall fastest circuit of the night with a lap of 13.237 seconds in Group \u2018B.\u2019 It was his 14th<\/sup>\u00a0career WoO LMS fast-time honor but first since Sept. 17, 2011, at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 in Pevely, Mo.<\/p>\n

Heat winners were Wells, Richards, O\u2019Neal, Babb, Bagley and Sheppard. The B-Mains were captured by Pat Doar of New Richmond, Wis., Ronny Lee Hollingsworth of Northport, Ala., and Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine, Iowa.<\/p>\n

The USA Nationals weekend continues\u00a0on Friday\u00a0night (Aug. 2) with Ohlins Shocks Time Trials, heat races and a dash for preliminary winners. The event concludes\u00a0on Saturday\u00a0evening (Aug. 3) with B-Mains, a Last Chance Race and the 100-lap finale.<\/p>\n

Hot laps are scheduled to begin at\u00a06:30 p.m. CT\u00a0and competition at\u00a07 p.m. CT\u00a0both nights. More information is available by logging on to\u00a0www.cedarlakespeedway.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
