I figured they would move Crash down to "C". Speaking of "C" drovers, here's one that's got a full-time ride.
Williams Co., Of America, Inc.
CONOVER, N.C. – With backing from Christian businessmen nationwide, Victory Motorsports will field driver Morgan Shepherd on the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series for the entire 2006 season. The announcement was made Monday by Tony and Brian Mullet, two businessmen and brothers from Ohio, who are leading the effort.
“This is a tremendously exciting time for me as a race car driver but is also tremendously exciting because of the possibilities in spreading the Gospel,” said Shepherd, 64, who is becoming the oldest full-time driver in NASCAR Nextel Cup Series history. Shepherd has dedicated his career, as well as his life, to spreading the Gospel and the salvation story. He has competed in a car emblazoned with “Racing With Jesus.”
Shepherd is testing in Daytona Beach, Fla., through Wednesday, preparing for the Daytona 500 in February. Doug George is the crew chief of the #89 Dodge, and the team will be using Joey Arrington engines.
