WEEDSPORT, N.Y. – The final leg of Weedsport Speedway’s Champion Oil Modified Series presented by Stirling Lubricants will pit the best Modified drivers in the region against one another on Sept. 2 in the Lane’s Yamaha Labor Day Double Play, led by Matt Sheppard.
Sheppard has scored more than 30 wins this season, including two at Weedsport, leading Erick Rudolph by a slim two-point margin heading into the $7,500-to-win Labor Day 100 for the Super DIRTcar Series big-block modifieds.
In the series last stop to Weedsport, Sheppard dominated the Hall of Fame 100, covering a stout field of Super DIRTcar Series combatants.
Sheppard’s fantastic season to date sees the driver of the No. 9s continue to lead the Super DIRTcar Series standings, having notched six tour wins, while also recently securing his ninth track championship at Land of Legends Raceway.
Rudolph, who has one win at Weedsport this year, will look to overcome Sheppard in the Champion Oil standings during the Labor Day 100, as they each eye the overall championship prize of $2,000.
Jimmy Phelps currently sits third in the Champion Oil Modified Series points, only 10-markers behind, with Chris Hile and Larry Wight in the top five.
Billy Decker, Mat Williamson, Peter Britten, Danny Johnson and Tim Sears Jr. are the top ten.
