GRAND FORKS, N.D. (July 24, 2020) – Familiar faces visited RydellCars.com Victory Lane on Friday night as the Premier Racing Series returned to the bullring. Dustin Strand, Jamie Dietlzer and Ryan Johnson all picked up WISSOTA feature wins, while Austin Pierce was victorious in the NOSA Sprints.
After an agonizing one-race losing streak, Brandon Sheppard and Rocket1 Racing returned to their winning ways on Sunday night at River Cities Speedway. Of course in their patented style, they couldn’t do it without rewriting the record books.
Taking advantage of lap traffic and reeling in early race leader Ricky Weiss, “The Rocket Shepp” guided his Valvoline No. 1 Durham powered Rocket to the lead on the 32nd lap and never looked back. Surviving a late bid from a charging Cade Dillard, the New Berlin, Ill. native successfully sealed the deal on his second-straight win at the Grand Forks, N.D. track and the 65th of his World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series career. Reaching the ten win mark in 2020, Sheppard officially became the first driver in the 19-year history of the World of Outlaws Late Models to record four different 10-wins seasons. With all four of those occurrences coming over the last four years, B-Shepp has rattled off campaigns of 18 wins in 2017, 13 wins in 2018, 18 wins again in 2019, and now 10 wins and counting in 2020. “This is all so surreal for me,” Sheppard said of his latest in a long line of accomplishments. “I was a kid that grew up at Macon, Farmer City, Lincoln, Jacksonville; and now I’m out here on the road living the dream. Mark [Richards] picked me up and gave me this opportunity to get the experienced I needed at tracks all over the country and that is what got us here to be as consistent as we are. I’m just having a ton of fun. In my opinion, we can’t go to enough races right now. Let’s keep going! By Mike Spieker

Pole sitter, Dexter Dvergsten, led all 15 laps en route to the win.

Dvergsten went on to pick up the win by just over a half-second over Truscinski, as Kelsi Pederson, who won the series’ inaugural event last weekend at Devils Lake, rounded out the podium.

Carter took the lead through the first set of corners using the high side of the speedway, while Jake Froemke battled Aberle for second. Aberle and Froemke raced side by side for several laps with Aberle having a slight advantage. Froemke found a way by Aberle on the lap six restart and set his sights on Carter for the lead.
