Matt Sheppard picked up his second consecutive Super DIRTcar Series win on Monday night as he picked up the Bob St. Amand Memorial at Merrittville Speedway. Sheppard was able to wrestle away the lead from Mike Bowman in lapped traffic around the half way point of the 100-lap feature and would cruise to his 12th win of 2013.
Merrittville Speedway (Super DIRTcar Series)
1st 9s Matt Sheppard
2nd 27J Danny Johnson
3rd 20 Brett Hearn
4th 71 Mike Bowman
5th 6 Mat Williamson
A field of 41 cars assembled at Merrittville, as DIRT continues their trend of strong car counts.
The win was the 27th Super DIRTcar Series win of Sheppard's career, which now ties him with Steve Paine for 7th on the all-time win list.
Both Danny and Alan Johnson were not in their normal rides. Alan Johnson was aboard the Andrew Sittler Racing #14J while Danny Johnson drove his own small block. Danny will return to Tyler Siri's 5* tomorrow night at I-96.
Speaking of I-96, look for Michael Storms to pilot a second Brett Hearn entry in tomorrow's $7,500 to win race.
Two big races are on the schedule for tomorrow (Tuesday.) The Super DIRTcar Series returns to I-96 Speedway in Michigan for a $7,500 payday, while Accord Speedway hosts the first "Battle of the Bullring" which will pay $5,100 to win the 51 lap feature.
