Peter Shepherd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Shepherd (born 1985) is a NASCAR driver from Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada.
Shepherd starred on dirt tracks in late model and sprint cars in Ontario. His prowess drew the attention of NASCAR owner Jack Roush, who invited him to Roush Racing: Driver X, the audition that was held in 2005 and televised on the Discovery Channel.
Shepherd turned heads with a surprising performance, ending up as one of six finalists in the competition.
Roush then signed Shepherd to further development, first in the ARCA RE/MAX Series in the #39 car for the Daytona season opener, then in several races in the Craftsman Truck Series. Shepherd's series debut was at Memphis Motorsports Park on July 22, 2006; he finished 23rd. Shepherd made two more starts that year, 31st at Nashville Superspeedway and 18th at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
In the 2007 season, Shepherd will share the #50 ride in the Craftsman Truck Series with Carl Edwards.
