Brandon Sheppard scores podium finish in Hawkeye 100 at Boone

Rocket1 Racing returned with the World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series on Friday afternoon at Boone Speedway (Boone, Iowa) as the two-day Hawkeye 100 got underway. With a pair of preliminary features on Friday leading up to the $30,000-to-win main event on Saturday, Sheppard posted the second fastest time overall in qualifying behind Billy Moyer. Starting the $3,000-to-win A-Main in second, Brandon set the pace for the first 19 circuits until Cade Dillard snuck by amid lapped-traffic. He went on to place second, trailing Dillard to the checkers with Billy Moyer, Chris Madden, and Bobby Pierce rounding out the Top-5. (Jacy Norgaard photo)

Clawing forward one spot in the 100-lap affair, Sheppard notched a third-place finish, trailing Bobby Pierce and Shannon Babb to the checkers with Billy Moyer and Ricky Weiss rounding out the Top-5.
