Sometimes you do something just because it’s the right thing to do. Like the Granny in England who attacked the would-be jewel thieves. Like Mark Harmon rescuing someone in a car wreck.
Like Morgan Shepherd chasing a would-be robber at a Las Vegas WalMart, taking him down and waiting for police to nab the alleged accomplices.
Yep, 69-year-old Morgan Shepherd. NASCAR Nationwide Series driver for Faith Motorsports. Un-sponsored and under-funded.

Sounds like an episode of “What Would You Do?” on ABC.
As the day wears on, more and more media outlets are picking up the story. And it will probably be a topic on Race Hub and possibly on Inside NASCAR tonight.
Old man? He certainly doesn't act like one.
Impulsive? Probably. But it was the right thing to do. Read the comments to this story on Fox Sports and folks are kind of mixed. However, there’s a bit more support for his actions than opposition.
Would you have gotten involved?
