Shepherd’s Sponsor: Berlin City Ford is going Winston Cup racing this weekend. Morgan Shepherd’ return to Winston Cup racing is backed by the Dion Brothers of Hudson and their longtime Ford sponsor. Shepherd makes his first appearance in stock car racing’ big league since February of 1999 [Rockingham]. It’ just a car that we had sittin there, and I just thought it would be real neat if we could get together with Dave and all the guys and we could do this deal together. Theyre doing the pit crew thing and helping getting the car ready, Shepherd said. It’ a friendship thing between the North and the South, he said. Shepherd first met the Dion brothers years ago when they all raced together in Bob Bahre’ Oxford 250s, which at the time was one of the richest short track races in America.(Union Leader), see an image of the car on my Paint Scheme Gallery.(7-20-2002)
