Terance Mathis, former NFL All-Pro Wide Receiver, and NASCAR’s newest minority owner, has formed an alliance with Morgan-McClure Motorsports to unveil Victory Motorsports Racing, LLC. “I am very excited about the new venture between teams. Morgan-McClure has experienced great success in the NASCAR arena, and they bring years of experience to the table. This new venture will allow Victory Motorsports Racing, an opportunity to be a competitive team in the 2006 Nextel Cup Race season,” says Terance Mathis, Majority Partner of Victory Motorsports Racing. The mission of Victory Motorsports Racing is simple, WIN. Victory Motorsports Racing is a new breed of racing, which will bring excitement, entertainment and fun to NASCAR. One major goal is to bring the minority community to NASCAR, and in turn bring NASCAR to the minority community. Not only will Victory Motorsports Racing be standing in the Winner’s Circle, but they will also stand there with integrity, equality and respect. Morgan-McClure Motorsports, based in Abington, Virginia, is a 14-time winner in the NASCAR Nextel Cup series, including three victories in the prestigious Daytona 500 event in 1991, 1994 and 1995.(Morgan McClure Motorsports PR), more info on Victory Motorsports, see victorymotorsportsllc.com.(10-14-2005)
UPDATE: Morgan-McClure Motorsports is partnering with former NFL wide receiver Terance Mathis to form Victory Motorsports Racing, L.L.C. The new team, with Mathis as the majority owner, will move into the Abingdon, Va., shop of Morgan-McClure. “We want to have a second team and we can share information,” Morgan-McClure owner McClure said. “It will make things better. Plus, we want to attract the minority population and have them support our race team.” Morgan-McClure still will run its #4 Chevy, which currently is driven by Mike Wallace. McClure said the new group hopes to run its second team full time next season but said it’s not a done deal. “That’s our plan. We’re already behind the 8-ball, but we have to do it some time,” McClure said. “This opportunity came up, and if the sponsorship comes together in the next two weeks, then we’ll be able to go.”(Richmond Times DIspatch)(10-15-2005)
