Pete Shepherd to make his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series start of '07 this weekend at the Milwaukee Mile

(Interesting quote from the crew chief, saying his goal for Petey for the weekend is to, "complete all the laps and keep all four fenders on it." Shepherd did that last year and ended up on the bench. Screw the fenders, Jack can afford some more.... GO PETEY GO! .... g.m.)

Peter Shepherd will make his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series start of the 2007 season this weekend at Milwaukee. Shepherd last competed in the Truck Series at Las Vegas in September of ’06, where he drove the No. 6 truck to an 18th-place finish.

The No. 50 Roush Fenway Racing team is bringing chassis RK240-34 to Milwaukee. This chassis last raced at Mansfield last month, where T.J. Bell started 19th and finished 13th.
Shepherd is currently scheduled to drive the No. 50 at Milwaukee, Memphis and Kentucky.

PETER SHEPHERD ON THE MILWAUKEE MILE. . .
“I’m really happy to be back behind the wheel of the No. 50 Roush Fenway Racing Ford F-150 this weekend. I like racing at Milwaukee, I ran there last year in ARCA. Hopefully we can complete all the laps and bring home a good finish.”

MATT PUCCIA ON THE MILWAUKEE MILE. . .
“It’s been a while since Peter has raced with us, but we’re really happy to have him back. Our goals for this weekend are pretty simple, complete all the laps and keep all four fenders on it. If we can accomplish that, we’ll feel like we had a successful weekend.”
