Sheppard Triumphs In 38th Super DIRT Week Rite Aid 200 At Syracuse Posted Sunday, Oct 11, 2009
Syracuse, NY — October 11, 2009 – By Tom Skibinski, Super DIRTcar Series PR Director *Bill Moore Photo
Already a Super DIRT Week champion in the 358-Modified and Sportsman ranks, Matt Sheppard mastered
the Moody Mile once again on Sunday afternoon, taking advantage of a
soft tire by leader Jimmy Phelps with 10 laps to go to score the
biggest victory of his career in the Rite Aid 200 Presented By Ferris
& Snapper Mowers for Big-Block Modifieds.
The hottest
driver on the DIRTcar Northeast in 2009, Sheppard’s 20th Big-Block
victory was his 20th of the season and worth $50,000 for the talented
27 year-old from Waterloo, New York.
Second-generation racer
Tim McCreadie made a late-race charge to secure runner-up honors in
DIRTcar Northeast’s premier event, with past Rite Aid winners Tim
Fuller, Frank Cozze and Richie Tobias Jr. chasing ‘Super Matt’ across
the line to close out the 38th edition on the historic New York State
Fairgrounds one-mile oval in Syracuse.
Transmission trouble
sidelined second-running Brett Hearn with less than 30 laps remaining,
yet with his 20th-place finish yesterday edged Sheppard by just four
points to register his record seventh overall Hoosier Tire-VP Racing
Fuels Mr. DIRTcar Championship.
With Super DIRT Week now
officially in the record book, all eyes turn to the 34th annual DIRTcar
Racing Northeast ‘Night of Champions’ on Saturday, November 14 at the
Turning Stone Resort in Verona, New York. The banquet will honor 2009
champions in the Super DIRTcar Series Modified, 358-Modified, Sportsman
and Pro Stock divisions. 358-Modified and Pro Stock classes crown
champions next weekend at Brockville Ontario Speedway while the final
Sportsman points show is scheduled for Saturday, October 24 at Black
Rock Speedway.
