I grew up about 20 minutes from the race track and have seen a few NASCAR races in my day.  I’ve even met a couple of drivers and managed to get a few autographs.  Although I have slacked off on keeping up with NASCAR events, I was excited to hear that DealTaker is going to be sponsoring NASCAR’s legendary veteran, Morgan Shepherd. Born October 12, 1941, Morgan Shepherd has been a NASCAR Sprint Cup driver since 1977.  He has also raced in the Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series.

His racing career began when he used his “souped up moonshine” car to earn extra money on the weekends.  Shepherd finished second in the championship to Jack Ingram in NASCAR’s Late Model Sportsman division. In 1980, he won the series title. He became the second oldest race winner when he won the spring race at Atlanta at the age of 51.

So, what does NASCAR, Morgan Shepherd, the Nationwide Series and Dealtaker.com have in common? – Bristol Motor Speedway’s Turf Builder 300. Ladies and gentlemen start your engines! After some time off, it’s time to go racing!

As quoted by the March 15th Press Release:  “Legendary veteran, Morgan Shepherd and the #89 Victory In Jesus Racing Chevrolet team are proud to introduce DealTaker.com to race fans coast to coast. As Morgan Shepherd and race fans alike are feeling the economic crunch it is DealTaker.com to the rescue!

DealTaker.com has stepped up to the plate, not only by sponsoring Morgan Shepherd, but also helping all NASCAR fans to get more and save more during these harsh times. The #89 Victory In Jesus Racing Chevrolet will be sporting the action-packed web site logo as an associate sponsor on its rear quarter panel during one of NASCAR’s most exciting races on the circuit – the half-mile concrete oval at Bristol Motor Speedway.

In his 43rd consecutive year of racing, Morgan Shepherd is known in NASCAR for taking a little and making the most of it. “Partnering with DealTaker.com is a perfect fit for our team,” states Shepherd. “We have to work smarter, not harder withour resources. This company is doing that with us and can help our fans do the same.”
