Mississippi Thunder Speedway and Deer Creek Speedway on DeckNEW BERLIN, Ill. (August 28, 2023) — Brandon Sheppard and Sheppard Riggs Racing continued their recent momentum with a $30,000 World of Outlaws (WoO) Case Late Model Series win on Saturday night in the finale of the Quad Cities 150 at Davenport Speedway behind the wheel of his Valvoline / TrueTimber No. B5 WYLD GEAR / Riggs Drilling Solutions / Bilstein / Longhorn Chassis / Cornett Racing Engine Super Late Model.The victory was his fourth main event win of the year and marked his first WoO win of the season.“Fortunate for me, I was at the right place at the right time,” Sheppard said after going past fellow Illinois driver Dennis Erb Jr. on a lap-59 restart and leading the rest of the way. “You know, I hate to see that for Bobby [Pierce], but everything’s been going his way and it’s about time we got a little love ourselves.“My team’s been working really hard. Everything has been starting to come our way a little bit. We’ve been starting to show consistency in the past couple of months, and Longhorn has been super easy to work with. It’s been a trying year with a bunch of ups and downs, but nobody’s given up on me one bit or questioned me one bit. It just feels good, and it means the world to be standing here.”For a three-race weekend with the World of Outlaws Case Late Model Series in the Hawkeye State, Sheppard Riggs Racing and Brandon Sheppard made the quick trip across the Illinois border on Thursday to visit Davenport (Iowa) Speedway for the My Place Hotels Quad Cities 150.
