CHATHAM, La. — The Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series Fueled By Sunoco concluded its season with Matt Sheppard standing in victory lane Saturday night at Super Bee Speedway.
Sheppard topped the Mods in the Marsh 75 claiming the $20,000-plus payday, the third largest winner’s share distributed by the STSS all season.
“This was the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. To get this win, it’s gonna make the ride back up to New York a heck of a lot easier,” said Sheppard.
Ryan Godown finished the night in third. The podium finish was good enough to secure the Wegner Automotive ‘Cajun Swing’ Championship worth $750 from a $2,000 total point fund.
Erick Rudolph surpassed Godown to take the runner-up spot in his Revive Spine Center No. 25. Godown’s third-place run capped off the ‘Cajun Swing’ championship for him, pocketing him just under $20,000 for the five days of racing.
Steve Davis brought his PA/NJ Spec 358 Small-Block home with an impressive fourth-place finish and Mike Mahaney rounded out the top five in the George Huttig-owned No. 35 utilizing big-block power.
