Jamaica, VA – May 1, 2008 – By Tom Skibinski , Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series PR Director
‘Super’ Matt Sheppard was just that Thursday night at Virginia Motor Speedway as the Central New York standout opened the 2008 Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series with a narrow victory worth a whopping $10,000 in the 2nd Annual Paul Sawyer Memorial presented by Thurston Spring Service, Inc.
The second-generation driver from Waterloo, New York started fifth in the 30-car field, reeled in early pace-setter Duane Howard on lap 39, then held off the popular Pennsylvanian to capture the 60-lap ‘Thursday Thunder’ for Big-Block Modifieds at the immaculate Sawyer Family oval.
The 30-mile Modified main was slowed by eight caution periods with Sheppard outlasting Integra Shocks Fast Timer Howard by .83-seconds to claim his fifth career Advance Series triumph in dramatic fashion. Defending overall Hoosier Tire Mr. DIRTcar Champion Brett Hearn and tour regulars Steve Paine and Billy Decker filled out the front-five ahead of top-10 contenders Gary Tomkins, Jimmy Phelps, Larry Wight, Billy Pauch and Wade Hendrickson.
In just three more days the Advance Auto Parts Big-Block Modifieds are back in action at DIRTcar Racing NorthEast charter member Rolling Wheels Raceway Park with the running of the 28th DIRT Challenge Cup set for Sunday, May 4. Each 50-lap main event pays $3,000 to win and offers valuable points towards the 33rd Mr. DIRTcar Big-Block Championship.
