Matt Sheppard Drives To Short Track Super Series Victory Lane At Utica-Rome

Matt Sheppard overcame a night full of distractions and paparazzi to come home with the ‘Richie Evans Remembered 61’ on Thursday night.

The Savannah, N.Y., resident raced from the 10th starting position following the Beyea Custom Headers Redraw to take home the $6,100 with the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco invading his home turf.

Sheppard – someone typically very focused on his racing program – spent much of his night helping NASCAR Cup star Ross Chastain along, who was running a Northeast Dirt Modified for the first time ever.

The win for Sheppard was the 35th of his STSS big-block/small-block Modified career, and his fourth of the season on the River Valley Builders North Region tour.
