Sheppard Takes Granby

On Monday night, Matt Sheppard ended up in 26th after he failed to finish the Super DIRTcar Series race at Autodrome Drummond. One night later, he was in victory lane at another Quebec track, Autodrome Granby. Sheppard charged from the 10th starting spot to take the lead from Brett Hearn at the 1/4 point of the race, from there, it was all Sheppard who went on to collect his 11th win on the season (and first Super DIRTcar Series win in 2013.)

2nd 3 Justin Haers
3rd 74 Matt Billings
4th 20 Brett Hearn
5th 7z Dale Planck

Hearn's 4th place finish will keep him in front of the points standings as the Series heads to Merrittville Speedway on August 5th.

With Sheppard's win, he now sits tied for 8th with Doug Hoffman on the all-time Super DIRTcar Series win list.

There were 38 modifieds in the Granby pit area.

More mid-week modified racing action for you on Wednesday night, as the I-88 Speedway hosts the first "Crazy 8 Special," which will pay $6,888 to the winner of the night's 48 lap feature.
