Pete Shepherd III Hero Card: http://www.mopar.com/racing/shepherd3.html
Birthdate:
August 13, 1986
Hometown:
Brampton, Ontario
If driving talent can be inherited, Pete Shepherd III was blessed with a gene pool knee-deep. His father won races and championships across Canada and the United States for 20 years and if that wasn't enough, he married a very popular female driver by the name of Sharon Zardo. Does the last name sound familiar? Billy Zardo Jr. was a superlate-model track champion and their father is none other than the
legendary super late-model driver Bill Zardo.
At the age of 10, young Pete Shepherd's time had come and his family cut him loose on the karting world. Pete proved his ability to carry on the family tradition of producing champions by winning the regional championship and the Canadian Grand National Karting Championship in just his second season.
At age 13, he was in full-sized stock cars racing thunder cars, late models and super-late models, winning races and awards as fast as they could hand him the trophies. Pete's young face, humble personality and famous family name made him one of the most popular racers in Ontario. Of course beating seasoned veterans and winning All-Star feature events at 14 sure made him easy to cheer for.
In 2003, Pete qualified 7th of 38 cars at the largest stock car race in Canada, "The Canada Day Shootout "featuring CASCAR's top drivers and 4 NASCAR stars. His qualifying effort and racing ability among these stars caught the eye of a new team looking for a promising driver, enter team Atto, 3 races later and 3 more top-10 qualifying results and top-15 finishes and Pete has a ride for 2004 in the full
CASCAR Super Series, where he'll compete for rookie of the year.
