Funny, Matt Kensetth does not agree with your thread title.

I bet Waltrip or Bowyer don't agree either.
Bowyer will probably feel stupid for calling Waltrip out after he sees a replay.

Great final lap. Great to see David Ragan get a major Nascar touring series win.

Agreed. The first 40+ laps were incident free. The last 30 were a mess but surprisingly no big wrecks.


Morgan Sheperd was in the field. I thought he had left racing long ago.

David Reagan was really impressive , shooting through the hole then side to side contact to scrub off Newmans speed to the line .:good!: VERY IMPRESSIVE





I've never won the 1st spelling bee ( go figure )

He's still at some races. Harvick and Stewart help him alot. I think Harvick supplies the car and engine and Stewart buys his tires and other things.
He ran up near the front alot of the spring nationwide race at Talladega last year. I think he ended up finishing 15th or so.

Due to help from some of Nascar stars such as Stewart, Harvick, Jarrett, contributions from fans and a couple of tv commentators, Morgan is able to keep things going.

Watching the replay now on ESPN Classic. Morgan Shepherd is 67 years old!

He led one lap yesterday and ended up middle of the pack.

67 and 200 mph :clapping:

James Hylton ran the Arca race at Dega' Friday. He's 74. I'd say that's part of the reason that he spent last night admitted in hospital.
