It was a pair of Brandons scoring the victories in World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series as the series made inaugural visits to a pair of race tracks over the weekend.
Brandon Overton recorded a home state victory on Friday at Georgia’s Cochran Motor Speedway, while Brandon Sheppard was the winner on Saturday night at South Carolina’s Lancaster Motor Speedway.
On Friday night, Brandon Overton scored his second series win of the year at Cochran Motor Speedway.
The Evans, Georgia speedster started the night from the third starting spot, while Brandon Sheppard started from the pole. Early on in the feature, it was looking as though Sheppard was going to have his eighth win in 13 races, but Chase Junghans and Overton had other plans.
Sheppard caught the rear of the field on lap 14 with Junghans right on his tail. Junghans, who started behind Overton, had been closing the gap for several laps and drove the car deep into turn one. He stayed with the low line out of turn two while Sheppard hit the cushion, and they both drag raced down the backstretch.
Using the car of Travis Pennington as a pick, Junghans was able to slide under Sheppard for the lead. For the next 14 laps, Junghans held a strong lead, until he caught lapped traffic himself with Overton – who passed Sheppard on lap 18 – within a single car length behind.
Overton pulled up alongside Junghans going into turn one and held the bottom line, while Junghans followed Clint Smith on the top. Casey Roberts came out of turn two on the low side but slid up into the middle groove going down the backstretch, which prompted Junghans to try and thread the needle into turn three between Overton and Roberts. His attempt was unsuccessful, and Overton got the best of both cars, holding the low line through the corner to take the lead.
From there, Overton led the final 21 laps en route to his fifth career series victory.
“I knew if I could beat (Junghans) to the brown (part of the track) and just get stuck, I could probably get ahead of him,” Overton said. “It was tight racing but neither one of us wrecked each other. I just got the position and stayed as close to the brown as I could, got a good run and just tried not to overrun the corners after that.”
Junghans finished in second, with Ricky Weiss in third, Sheppard in fourth and Darrell Lanigan in fifth.
On Saturday night, Brandon Sheppard scored his eighth series win of the season at Lancaster Motor Speedway.
Ben Watkins jumped to the early lead, but coming to the finish line on lap 21, Watkins shredded a right rear tire, bringing out the caution flag.
That moved Sheppard to the point, and from there he would drive to the victory.
“It was a lot of fun out there,” Sheppard said. “Track’s really big, it’s a lot different than anything else we’ve ever raced on, for sure. It was definitely cool to do something a little bit different like that, and it’s a lot of fun when your car is that good.”
Ross Bailes, Michael Brown, Johnny Pursley and Zack Mitchell rounded out the top five.
