Episode 5 - Shepherd Racing Ventures (presented by Big Monte Media & Chef Collin Maybee)

Описание: For more than five decades, Morgan Shepherd has seen it all. He’s driven for more than twenty of NASCAR’s biggest teams, scoring each of his four Cup wins for a different organization. Three of those wins came at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, where he was always a threat for victory. In 1999, at an age where most drivers would retire from the sport, Shepherd turned his attention to team ownership. With just one car, but many friends, he would gradually grow his team through a tumultuous 2004, laying the groundwork for the operation he and wife Cindy still run today.
