Faith Motorsports visiting Huntington


Morgan Shepherd and his Faith Motorsports team will be in the Huntington area July 29 and 30, at a local church and then the Tri-State Fire Academy.

On Sunday, July 29, Morgan, his team and car will be at 26th Street Baptist Church, located at 2510 10th Ave., Huntington. There will be a cookout at 4:30 p.m., followed by gospel music at 6 p.m., and an ice cream social at 7:30 p.m. Morgan will share his testimony during the concert.

The following day, his team will participate in a Race Rescue Technology course for area firefighters, EMS attendants and local race track rescue crews.

They will be joined by Brett Rowe of Barboursville who races in the NBS for Revelocity Racing, and local drivers Hubie Hatfield (modifieds) and Jake Keaton (late models).

Both events are free to the public. However, to take part in the rescue class, registration is necessary.

Morgan is the oldest regular NASCAR driver at age 65 and has races for decades in the NEXTEL Cup (formerly Winston Cup) and the NASCAR Busch series. His #89 car boldly proclaims "Racing With Jesus."
