Chase Shepard

About:

Chase Shepard grew up watching his uncle race Big Block Modifieds in the western Pennsylvania area at a young age and instantly became hooked to everything dirt track related. He joined the sim in January of 2020 after watching countless YouTube videos of what it has to offer. Since then he’s competed in 210 official races with 22 wins, 89 top 5s and 24 pole positions. He set out to run the inaugural season of the BCRL league but settled into a part time schedule finishing 9th in points, as well as a 3rd place championship run in Flat Out Racing. Chase along with owner Brandon Borden have put together the inaugural Pro Late Model season where he is competing full time. Best finishes within the league are from this current season with 3 wins between both divisions.

Best finish: 4/20/23 1st @ Weedsport PLM

5/9/23 1st @ Cedar Lake PLM

5/10/23 1st @ Williams Grove 305
