Catching up with the Herd

Contrary to what some think, the Marshall NASCAR Nationwide Series car and Herd Racing LLC aren’t gone. They’re just getting ready for next season.

Always looking for sponsors, businesses can contact them and find opportunities for the 2009 season.



BUT, until then, Brett Rowe, Herd Racing and the #75 Dodge Charger will be making some appearances locally.

Closest is this weekend at the Chesapeake Flea Market Old Fashioned Days. Brett and the car will be there from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4, signing autographs, showing off the big green and white machine and giving out new Herd Racing Hero Cards.

Brett and company will also be at the annual Fall Festival at New Life Church in Huntington on Sunday, October 26. Same kind of thing – pictures, see the car, sign autographs and give out Hero Cards.



But team owner Dana Tomes will add one more thing.

A NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series truck.

Yep, Truck Series is being added next season. Dana is also bringing that machine to the New Life Church Fall Festival.

The truck will be unveiled at a sponsor event at 2 p.m. Oct. 24 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky. Then two days later, make it’s appearance locally at the Fall Festival.

Another note on Rowe:

He and several other Christian drivers were featured in the August 2008 issue of Christianity Today, published by Christianity Today International, begun by Billy Graham in 1956. Other publications by that group include Today’s Christian Woman, and Men of Integrity.
