Team Races to Top-10 Finish at Richmond

SHINNSTON, W.Va. (04/27/21) – Rocket1 Racing entered a single event over the weekend with their Valvoline No. 1 Seubert Calf Ranches/ Durham Racing Engines-powered XR1 Rocket Chassis Super Late Model. The team’s lone venture came at Kentucky’s Richmond Raceway, where Brandon Sheppard piloted the team’s car to a ninth-place finish.

“Track position was crucial at Richmond on Friday night, and we pretty much ran where we started for the whole feature,” Sheppard said. “I’m looking forward to Boone (Speedway) this weekend. That’s a place with a ton of history, and it would be awesome to take the Rocket1Racing team to Victory Lane there.”

Friday night saw Brandon Sheppard and Rocket1Racing return to action with the World of Outlaws (WoO) Morton Buildings Late Model Series at Richmond Raceway (Richmond, Ky.). Drawing 29 Late Models, Brandon clocked in fifth fastest in his qualifying group before placing third in his heat race. Earning the ninth-starting position for the $10,000-to-win A-Main, Sheppard held steady momentum throughout the 40-lapper, crossing line in ninth when the checkered flag flew.

An unfavorable forecast nixed Saturday night’s event at Bruschcreek Motorsports Complex (Peebles, Ohio).

Brandon holds a 46-point advantage atop the latest World of Outlaws point standings. For complete results from this event, please visit www.WorldofOutlaws.com.

The upcoming weekend – April 30-May 1 – takes the Rocket1Racing team and Sheppard to Iowa’s Boone Speedway for the inaugural Hawkeye 100. The weekend opens on Friday with “Twin Hawk” features, which pay $3,000 to win each. On Saturday evening the $30,000-to-win Hawkeye Nationals finale is on tap.
