Pevely, MO (August 27th, 2011) Jesse Stovall and Brandon Sheppard gave the fans one of the most thrilling races they will ever witness as they both came from deep starting positions to battle side by side the final five laps at the Valvoline Battle Royal featuring the MARS vs UMP DIRTcar Late Models. Sheppard started thirteenth and used the same line he used a few months earlier at I-55 Raceway, when he lapped almost the entire field, to take the lead on lap twenty-six. Meanwhile, Stovall was working his way to the front as well after starting nineteenth by using the same line as Sheppard.   Brian Shirley led the first twenty-five laps before surrendering the lead to Sheppard. Shirley would have problems a few laps later and have to pit. Another favorite, Jason Feger, would suffer a flat tire under a lap thirty-three caution period while running third, ending his hopes. Shannon Babb, who had been on a role by winning the previous two MARS/UMP events, would almost completely spin in turn three while battling with Moyer and lose several spots. Babb would then fully spin in turn four for the final caution of the race on lap thirty-three. Sheppard appeared he would use the low line to race to victory on restart on lap thirty-three, but Stovall, who restarted third, used the middle line to pull along side Sheppard for the lead. The two would literally race the entire final five laps side-by-side. Sheppard would hold the lead at the line on laps thirty-six, thirty-seven and thirty-eight. But Stovall would get the edge over Sheppard on the final two laps and get the win!
