 After Decades Of On Track Battles, Morgan Shepherd Faces New Challenge



​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.

NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Review: Clean Harbors 200

All three of NASCAR's National Touring series came into the weekend on a level playing field.  All three series were entering their Round of 8.  All three series had the same 4 tracks left in front of them.  Finally, all three series presented an opportunity to 8 drivers to go out and clinch their shot at a championship in Phoenix.  For the Truck series, that's exactly what the 8 remaining playoff drivers set out to do.  Ultimately, only one could lock up a spot in the Championship 4.  However, the playoff battle was not the only story, perhaps not even the biggest story of the day.  This was because rising star Hailie Deegan was set to make her first ever NASCAR Touring series start.  Deegan was driving the #17 Ford F150 for DGR Crosley Racing, a ride which was announced later in the race that she would be driving in the Truck Series in 2021.  The round of 8 was set to begin. Sheldon Creed continued his dominant performance as he took the lead from Ben Rhodes and Chandler Smit

While they were a wonderful collection, I think I assumed price tags in the millions of dollars as a child. Earnhardt's K2 , old Chevy hot rods, Busch Series this, Winston Cup Series that, he had a wonderful collection. There was one driver he highlighted to
