SHEPPARD STORMS BY DECKER FOR DIRT BIG BLOCK MODIFIED WIN ON PICK-N-PULL AUTO PARTS NIGHT

 

BREWERTON, NY...Matt Sheppard earned his second 35-lap Brewerton Speedway DIRT Big Block Modified feature win of the season Friday on Pick-N-Pull Auto Parts Night. Sheppard took the top spot away from Billy Decker on lap-33 and never gave it back. The victory for the Adam Ross Cut Stone DIRT Big Block Modified team was worth $2,000.
 

     Bob McCreadie raced out to the early lead at the start of the Pick-N-Pull Auto Parts DIRT Big Block Modified feature from the pole starting position. McCreadie would only lead the first circuit and would slow on the track on lap two. Chuck Hebing was the official race leader of the second circuit. Billy Decker took the top spot away from Hebing on lap three.
 

     With 10 laps complete Decker continued to lead and was being chased in the top five by Sheppard, Tim Fuller, Vic Coffey and Hebing.

Hebing, Gary Tomkins, Pat Ward, Alan Johnson and Scott Prentice raced in positions sixth through tenth at the halfway stage.

Finally on lap-33 Decker went low and that allowed Sheppard to storm by on the top side of the track. Decker attempted to come back, but Sheppard recorded his second feature win of the season at the D-shaped DIRT Demon.
