1987 stats: Shepherd drove a Buick owned by drag racing legend Kenny Bernstein. Larry McReynolds was the crew chief, and the team's best showing that year was a runner-up in the Coca-Cola 600 . Shepherd had seven top-five finishes but a hefty 13 DNFs in the 29-race season.

Wow to know: The 1987 version of The Winston was Shepherd's first of 18 tries. His seventh-place finish in that inaugural start remains his best showing to date.

Where are they now: At 74 years old, he is the only driver that competed in this The Winston of 1987 who is still racing in NASCAR today.

Folks, ole Morgan still has talent and even rides a bicycle. Check him out on those roller skates on pit road. He had many good days in the 70's and 80's. I saw him, Harry Gant, and Dale Earnhardt get their early start at Hickory and they raced each other there on the same Saturdat nights. Those were good old racing days.
