CONOVER, NC- Morgan Shepherd and crew are set to carry his 50th Anniversary Celebration into Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the Boyd Gaming 300 on Saturday, March 11th.
”We’ve got a new car we’re bringing to Vegas,” says Shepherd. “We took it to Atlanta, but had issues with the fuel pump as well as a few other kinks, so we didn’t make the race. That’s okay, though, as we think we’ve got them worked out. We put it on the pull down rig, made a bunch of changes, so we’ll head to Vegas and do the best we can there for Visone RV and all our other partners and friends.”
Morgan scored two Top 20 finishes at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the NASCAR XFINITY Series. The Boyd Gaming 300 will mark his 7th Series start at the high-speed, mile and a half track.
Shepherd and the team continue their “Thank You’s” to all the fans who have stood by faithfully and been supporters of Morgan and the team for 50 years. “Our fans and supporters are amazingly loyal and understand that our effort is about more than racing,” adds Shepherd.
Visone RV will serve as primary sponsor Morgan for the Rinnai 250. “Visone RV has partnered with us for a good while,” he says. If you got to the Visone RV website, visonerv.com, you’ll see that they have the world’s largest selection of motor home parts.”
