Morgan Shepherd - Too old to be behind the wheel of a Cup car?

She's got man hands and more bags under her eyes than my supermarket has under the check out counter.

Whenever I am texting with a chick I have a thing for, it always gets to the point where the entirity of her last message is "LOL" or something and I don't know where to go with the conversation. Like Andrew Dice Hamster in those Framily commercials, I don't know what to do with that.

Let's further discuss that really slow driver who wrecks people whose first name begins with an 'M'...

Milka Duno's American cousin?

Little callback for my open-wheel bros.

What does your texting about your date and morgan shepherd being too old to drive have in common?

Maybe we could ask next...at what age is not ok to text potential dates?

Is there an age limit on texting?

Maybe there should be a license to text....

Well, this thread turned into an ad nauseam pissing match, then went off topic. Not a date, just a friend.

All I learned from this thread is that I think old people should sent away (aka Logan's Run) and Joey Logano is awful. :D

In some cultures the elderly are revered for their knowledge and respected..

Well, I was joking about the Logan's Run comment, obviously.

My final point on the Shepherd thing is this, if he wanted to hold court about NASCAR, I'd be the first to listen, and if he wanted to ride a Harley across the country, sail around the world or get a pilot's license and fly a Cessna around, I'd be cheering him on. But, he's obviously past his physical prime and his driving prime is long gone, and it's silly that the highest level of stock car racing in the world has a 72-year-old man out there, cruising around in last place for prize money and some here cheer him on. This is supposed to be serious business racing, not some feel good part time hobby for retired folks.
 
jump thru Nascar's hoops and you get to race. Hit a slower or faster car and you take your chances, only age limit I know of is you have to be 18 or older to race on a 1.5 or larger. that's Nascar racing.:idunno:
 
Well, I'd like to say that even though this has been a passionate and sometimes heated discussion - especially since Sunday afternoon, it has still remained pretty civil. Lots of good and not so good points on both sides.

But see, my whole thing is, why's it gotta be all about the dude's age? That's the part of your side's argument that I'm not understanding. I feel like if Morgan was some random young guy but performed at the same exact low level, this thread would never have been created. He'd just be an afterthought and everything would be fine. It comes off as nothing more than ageism to me, which is something that I have very little tolerance for. He satisfied whatever requirements that he had to satisfy and he was cleared to race, so to me, his age shouldn't even matter.

I dunno. I've been defending Morgan Shepherd because I don't just look at him as some old fogey. He's one of the Ford guys that I rooted for as a little kid. He was a pretty decent driver back in the day and has paid his dues in this sport, and obviously he loves racing or he wouldn't still be doing it at 72 years old. I say that if you've been fortunate enough to make it that far in life, you've earned the right to do whatever the heck you want so long as you're not endangering anyone else. Again, if Morgan gets trigger happy and starts walling people left and right, I'll agree that he needs to be parked, and based on what he said when he was asked about the topic, I think he would also agree. He does not deserve to be parked over one incident that was clearly just a racing deal, though.

Because his age is part of why he appeals to some around here. Granted, he was a driver from way back, but it's not like Timmy Hill and Landon Cassil have any fans. If Shepherd has fans because of his age, then he opens himself up for criticism because of his age.
 
might have been why he was contracted to drive the car his age ya think? kind of like the 10 car but on a much smaller scale. Made the headlines though all week, the 10 didn't this week, but ya know it is Indy next week and everybody knows it will be back to your roots, how similar to an indy car week for the 10. They will all need to know her expert opinion.

Probably. Not like Falk has anything else going on with that #33. Did you see the news this morning? Since Shepherd burned his feet at Loudon, now Ty Dillion is going to drive the #33. Another Childress grandson making a Cup debut. That should make a few waves. Maybe he'll wreck somebody, too.

Edit: He's going to drive the #33 at Atlanta on Labor Day.

Sure, his age is part of why he appeals to some people. However, I feel like on the other side of the fence, his age is the whole reason why he shouldn't be out there racing, and I think that's a little unfair. There are drivers of all ages that are slow or drive for slow/start and park teams.
