​As we come to a close of 2020, it truly has been a challenging year to many, and for Morgan Shepherd, it is no different.  For the first time in 52 consecutive years, Morgan did not participate in any of NASCAR's three Series.  Morgan was in a battle of a different sorts in the challenging 2020 year.  After a long year of health issues, Morgan has been diagnosed with the early stages of Parkinson's Disease.


However, in true Shepherd fashion, he is determined to look into 2021 and make plans for another year of NASCAR racing, as a Car Owner.  We all have had challenges to overcome and Morgan has always wanted to be an encourager, defying his age in physical and mental ability.  Morgan's charity work with the physically challenged has inspired him in the toughest times and currently continues in his diagnosis.

Prior to my pursuit of racing knowledge, I have distinct memories of watching Dennis Anderson's monstrous Grave Digger, or King Kenny Bernstein's iconic Budweiser livery win countless races.

As per the rules of the doubleheader weekend, the top 20 finishers of race one started inverted which put Michael McDowell and Chris Buescher on the front row for the start of the race.  Stage one though saw early troubles for McDowell's teammate Anthony Alfredo, as he had a tire go down and would hit the wall bringing out the first caution of the day on lap two. Martin Truex Jr would go on to win the first stage as William Byron would race his way back on to the lead lap by beating Truex...
