(April 6, 2007 – Nashville, TN) Morgan Shepherd, pilot of the #89 Dodge Charger in NASCAR’s Nextel Cup Series, took time out for a “fun trip” while he was in middle Tennessee competing in the Nashville Super Speedway Pepsi 300.  Shepherd enjoyed a tour of the showroom and restoration center at Lebanon based Classic Cars Southeast.  “It was a sincere pleasure to meet the legendary race car driver”, said Dale Nunnery, founder and President of the unique classic car dealership, “I have watched him race for years and admire his accomplishments on and off the track”. Classic Cars Southeast was founded in 2004 and has become an international dealership in American classics with sales to clients in countries such as Canada, Australia, Sweden and Denmark.

Shepherd’s career credits include 511 Cup starts, 138 top ten finishes and 4 wins.  He takes great pride in having the only “faith-based” racing team in NASCAR and is quick to let everyone know that his team is actually a “racing ministry” with special outreach programs for the tight-knit motor sports community.  His racing career, which has garnered enormous recognition and popularity, is overshadowed only by his respectable reputation for charitable contributions to society.  In fact, this year the “Morgan Shepherd Charitable Fund” celebrates 21 years of dedicated attention to others.  The program is designed to assist the needy and handicapped throughout the Virginia Mountains.  Each December, the fund hosts a very special trip to that area with a special program to share the true meaning of Christmas with the less fortunate.  The trip has become a holiday tradition for Morgan, his family and friends.
