SHEPPARD WINS SEASON OPENING DIRT BIG BLOCK MODIFIED FEATURE AT BREWERTON SPEEDWAY

BREWERTON, NY...Matt Sheppard recorded the season opening DIRT Big Block Modified win at Brewerton Speedway last Friday in front of a near capacity crowd. Sheppard fought the lead away from Billy Decker on lap-27 and then held off former track champions Alan Johnson and Decker for the hard fought victory. The win for the Randy Ross owned team was worth $2,000.

Jimmy Phelps led the opening lap of the DIRT Big Block Modified feature from the pole starting position. DIRT Big Block Modified rookie driver Kevin Bates took the top spot away from Phelps on lap two. Veteran Danny Johnson became the third different leader on lap four. Sheppard took the lead away from Danny Johnson on lap-11 after starting in the eighth position.

Just at the halfway mark of the 35-lap main event Decker took the lead away from Sheppard. Decker was displaying quite a show, flying around the top side of the track. Decker would lead the talented field until lap 26. Sheppard took over at that point. But, by no means was the race over, as it was now Alan Johnson putting on the show. Johnson came from the 16th starting position, but had to settle for second place by a car length at the finish line.

Rob Keller won the season opening 20-lap IMCA Modified feature race last Friday night. Mike Smith, Greg Kimball, Johnny Hill and Carmen Vona Jr. completed the top five feature finishers. Keller took the lead from Greg Kimball on lap two and never gave it back. Mike Smith made a late race charge to finish second in the action packed main event.

Defending ESDCA Mod Lite Track Champion Tim Devendorf won the season opening 20-lap feature race last Friday night. Ray Donhauser, Joe Abbass, Lowell Zehr and Kevin Donhauser finished in positions second through fifth respectively. Devendorf took the lead away from Donhauser on lap-16 and then held him off for the feature victory.

Russell Erwin was the race winner of the season opening 15-lap Four Cylinder Super Stock feature race last Friday night. Todd Williamson, Aron Backus, Chuck Powelczyk and Lorrie Herbert finished in positions second through fifth respectively. Erwin won the race in a photo finish over Williamson.

Professional DIRT Motorsports competition will continue this Friday with the DIRT Big Block Modifieds, IMCA Modifieds, Mod Lites and Four Cylinder Super Stocks all in action. Show time is 7:30 p.m. For more information please go on line to www.brewertonspeedway.com or call the track office at 315-668-6906 or the race line at 668-RACE.
