Morgan Shepherd Attempting To Qualify For Daytona

((HT: ESPN))

And, in doing it, Morgan Shepherd would break his own record...

Shepherd turned 72 in October and will try to qualify for the Daytona 500 in the No. 93 Support Military Foundation Toyota with BK Racing.

Shepherd ran at New Hampshire last July- his first Cup race since 2006. Shepherd ran eight Nationwide Series races last season- earning a little over $100,000. He also ran one truck race, at Texas, finishing 34th...

Shepherd has started 15 Daytona 500-, with a career-best finish of second in 1992 in the Wood Brothers #21.

Here's an interview Shepherd did with Ricky Craven around the qualifying run last year at NHMS...


The HQ wishes the most luck to Shepherd and hope he makes the field...
