Shepherd trying to help: Morgan Shepherd is trying to put together his annual Christmas tour through the mountains of south central Virginia, but it’s difficult after a season spent largely on the sidelines. He’s planning to send a registered letter to those in racing who have helped with the event in the past, and is also accepting donations from the general public. Shepherd has distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations and gifts to the area’s underprivileged since the tour began in the late 1980s. Those interested may send donations to The Morgan Shepherd Charitable Fund, P.O. Box 623, Conover, NC 28613.(Winston Cup Scene – need sub to read)(11-29-2001)
