MATT SHEPPARD LANDS BPG 358 MODIFIED RIDE FOR TUESDAY, JULY 1 THUNDER ON
THE HILL SPRINT & MODIFIED DOUBLE HEADER
The third race of 2008 for the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill
Racing Series will take place at the Grandview Speedway on Tuesday
night, July 1 when the Cindy Rowe Auto Glass Pennsylvania Sprint Speed
Week Series and the 358 Modifieds join forces for this always exciting
holiday special event. The 410 sprints are always a thrill when they
come to the "hill" and to make this show even better, the 358 modifieds
will be part of the mix. In this event last year, Todd Shaffer won his
first ever 410 sprint Thunder victory as Duane Howard was the winner of
the 358 modified feature. Some breaking news out of the BPG Racing Camp
is that Matt Sheppard of Waterloo, NY will be driving one of the BPG
Racing/Chad Sinon owned modified at Grandview on Tuesday, July 1.
Sheppard was the 2007 New Egypt Speedway track champion and holds the
one-lap track record at Grandview with a time of 14.635 set on August
18, 2004. Sheppard has yet to win at Grandview but he is optimistic of
his chances when he storms the "hill" on July 1.
In the 410 sprint ranks, Fred Rahmer, Lance Decease, Todd Shaffer, Jeff
Shepard, Alan Cole, Steve Smith and Chad Layton are some of the
expected entries and in the 358 Modified line-up, look for Duane Howard,
Jeff Strunk, Doug Manmiller, Ryan Godown, Steward Friesen, Craig
VonDohren, MeMe DeSantis, Kevin Hirthler and Jason Hamilton will be the
competition that Matt Sheppard will meet and greet on Tuesday, July 1st.
The 410 sprints will compete in the COMDIAL Time Trials, qualifying
heats a "B" Main and a 35 lap, $5,000 to win feature event. For the 358
Modifieds, a field of twenty-eight invited entries will draw for their
starting positions in three heats race events that will determine the
starting line-up for the 25 lap 358 Modified feature.
Gates will open at 5:30 PM with race time set for 7:30 PM. Adult
general admission is $20 and $5 for children 6-11. Children under the
