Last Racing Weekend of the year; Sheppard to HBR; David Moving Up

A fantastic 2013 season will officially come to a close Saturday afternoon with two big races concluded the year. Tomorrow (Saturday) Wall Speedway hosts a 50-lap $2,000-to-win feature for the dirt modifieds during the Turkey Derby, also Accord Speedway hosts "The Gobbler" in another 50-lap $7,711-to-win feature event.

The big news on Wednesday night was the official announcement that Matt Sheppard would be heading to Heinke-Baldwin Racing in 2014 to run as a teammate to Jimmy Phelps. Despite many rumors, JB Motorsports team owner Jeff Brownell has not decided on whether or not he will sell his equipment and get out of racing, or return with a new driver in '14.

Warrior Racing's Jenna David will make the move up to the modified division after a career-best year in sportsman in 2013. David will run weekly at Mohawk International Raceway and Cornwall Motor Speedway, while also following the DIRTcar 358 Series in 2014. She joins Katelyn Kane, Kim LaVoy, and Aleia Geisler as the only women drivers in the big/small block ranks.
