The Unadilla, N.Y., driver battled Larry Wight early for the lead before the close racing resulted in Wight going off the turn three embankment, ending any chances he had to challenge for the win.ĭecker, however, had nothing to offer Sheppard for the lead, and was left to try to fend off Friesen for the second position. With just four laps remaining and no cautions, Sheppard was too far gone for Friesen to make a bid at the race in honor of his uncle.īilly Decker rounded out the podium finishers with a solid third-place run.
The Sprakers, N.Y., native pressured Billy Decker for the runner-up position, including on multiple restarts, but didn’t take the second spot until the completion of lap 26. Stewart Friesen – dawning a throwback paint scheme for his uncle Alex Friesen – was the runner-up to Sheppard after starting the 30-lap affair from the 10 th starting position.įriesen quickly carved his way to third in just four laps, but his charge would quickly stall at the final podium position. The two wins and a runner-up at Fonda (N.Y.) Speedway last weekend have Sheppard’s NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series championship chase off to a strong start. “Yea we’re off to a great start with the two wins and a second… it’s definitely something we’re going to be paying attention to as the season progresses,” Sheppard offered. Sheppard was a winner on March 31 at Delaware International Speedway in Delmar, Del.
The win for Sheppard was also his second of the season under the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series banner. “We haven’t changed too much and we’re just trying to ride it out.” “We hit on something here last year and we’ve just stuck to it,” Sheppard said of his No.
