I don’t know if you have seen this yet, but The Hot Lap, which is a Nationwide series fan site, has begun a campaign to purchase a set of tires for Morgan Shepherd’s #89 Racing for Jesus Dodge at the Memorial Day weekend race at Lowe’s. They started by making a $200 staff donation and are trying to raise $1700 by May 20th.

According to a statement from the website they are doing it, “Because we are really sincere about our support for some of the underfunded drivers and teams – we decided to show Morgan how much we appreciated his support for us – and we have opened a donation for tires for the upcoming Charlotte race.”

Fans wishing to donate to the cause can log on to The Hot Lap’s online donation center at http://thehotlap.chipin.com/morgan-shepherd-tires-for-faith.
