Brandon Sheppard charged to the lead on lap 14 of Thursday night’s Wrisco Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, Florida, and went on to score his second Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series feature of the week.

Sheppard was the fourth and final different leader of the race after Brandon Overton, Tim McCreadie and Boom Briggs each took a turn at leading the race in the first 14 circuits.

Sheppard held a 1.7 second advantage over Josh Richards at the finish line. Richards was originally slated to start 20th, but started in the tail after a rules violation before the race. Richards then charged to the front to finish second.

Billy Moyer, Jr. equaled his best career series finish with a third place. Jimmy Owens came home in fourth with Devin Moran in fifth.

The 40-lap feature started off good for Overton and points leader McCreadie, as the pair raced side-by-side in the early stages of the race.

Overton led the first lap before McCreadie took over the race lead for two laps, but by lap four Overton was back in front. By lap six, however, McCreadie was back in front as Briggs started to show his strength working his way to second place. Briggs then made a power move on McCreadie on lap 10 to take over the point.

Briggs held the lead until Sheppard zipped by for the lead. Sheppard held off a trio of drivers in the last half of the race to record his 17th career series win, and his fifth at East Bay Raceway Park. Richards moved past Moyer, Jr. on lap 33 but ran out of time in his efforts to catch Sheppard.

“It’s all thanks to my guys for not giving up on me,” said Sheppard. “Our qualifying efforts weren’t what they needed to be tonight. Mark Richards and Steve Baker (of Rocket Chassis), Dan, Austin, and Joel all stuck behind me the whole time. They were confident I could get up through there.”

“I’ll tell you what, I think I’m going to have gray hair by the time we leave here, you just don’t know where to go,” Sheppard added. “I knew at some point the cushion (high groove) was going to be the place to be, but the bottom was working for me at the beginning of the race, you don’t really know when to move. I just stuck with it and stuck with it and then I see the 14 (Richards) on the board and I knew I had to get my elbows up.”

Briggs, Overton, Brian Shirley, Billy Moyer and Tyler Erb rounded out the top ten.
