The second spoiler of the year in the DIRTcar Bond Auto Sportsman Modifieds happened Saturday night when Bob Shepard found himself with 5 to go leading the pack to the checkers. Shepard celebrating his 63rd birthday this week couldn’t think of a better birthday present to give himself. Unfortunately for Shepard another shoe having suffered a two year dry run was on a mission and ready to take away the gold from anyone in his way. A rain delay on lap 19 changed the condition of the track, and Shepard while able to hold on to the lead for most of the event, found Sunn on lap 37 flying by on the outside. Sunn would lead the remaining three circuits and claim the checkers with Shepard holding on for second. Finishing in third was Richie Simmons with his best finish of the season. Completing the top five were Kevin Chaffee and Chris Donnelly.
