Shepherd is thrilled with the opportunity at hand, and is excited to be in the cockpit once again. “It’s a very exciting time to be racing Late Models and Super Late Models. The APC series is growing fast, they have great car counts, and it’s a very competitive field.”
Shepherd will make his APC Series debut at Delaware Speedway during Canada Day weekend, Saturday July 1st.
“We will have a brand new McColl car, so I am confident that I will have the tools I need to be successful. Mike and I have always worked well together, so working in conjunction with him will be an easy transition for me to make, he puts together a great program and I am happy we got this deal together.”
Pete has also announced that his sponsor over the past fourteen seasons, National Exhaust Systems Inc., will be on board again this season.
“Tom Baker from National Exhaust is such a huge contributor to Stock Car racing in this country! As a team, Tom and I have shared a lot of great moments on the track. We are hopeful to share a few more this year and put National Exhaust back into Victory Lane.”
Shepherd will also run the Twin 75 Lap Features at the brand new Jukasa Speedway and the Outlaw Super Late Model race over the two day event August 26th and 27th. Flamboro Speedway’s Gold Rush (August 21st) will be his debut in a MRE prepared Outlaw Super Late Model.
