FAIRBURY, Ill. — Brandon Sheppard knew less than 10 laps into Saturday’s Prairie Dirt Classic his ability to read Fairbury’s surface would pay off well. “With all that track prep and stuff, and the way that they did it, I felt like the cushion would be there,” Sheppard said. Sheppard’s third Prairie Dirt Classic win earned him and Rocket1 Racing $100,000 after he grabbed the $50,000 check for the win and the $500 bonus per lap led – which for him was all 100. “It honestly means the world to me to win this race,” Sheppard said. Sheppard’s Prairie Dirt Classic win is his 80th career World of Outlaws CASE Late Model victory—and third of the 2022 season. Tyler Erb finished fourth after hovering in the top five for most of the race. Sheppard felt at home at Fairbury Speedway, scoring another Prairie Dirt Classic win. “It’s always racy, and my car’s really good here, and I have a good feel of this place,” Sheppard said.
