DUNDEE, NY – September 23, 2018 – Brandon Sheppard bags his 12th victory of the season at the Outlaw Speedway in the inaguaral Series race at the 4/10-mile. After blowing an engine in a hard-charging effort at Selinsgrove on Saturday night, the Rocket Chassis house car was able to rebound very nicely on Sunday, in what was a rainout make-up from two days earlier. Devin Moran posted yet another second-place finish after a bonzai move with two to go to the inside of Mike Marlar, who finished third. Then-points leader Chris Madden dropped out with front-end issues early on in the race, which handed the points lead back over to Marlar.
