Ten-year NFL veteran Randy Moss has purchased a majority interest in Morgan Dollar Motorsports and plans to begin fielding entries in the Craftsman Truck Series with the July 19 race at Kentucky Speedway, The Charlotte Observer and ThatsRacin.com have learned. A formal announcement of the new venture is expected Thursday at Daytona International Speedway, sources said. The team, which would be called Randy Moss Motorsports, is expected to continue its long-standing relationship with Chevrolet and plans to enter several events this season with intentions of running two full-time Truck teams in 2009, the sources said. Morgan Dollar has used upstart Landon Cassill in five races so far this season in the No. 46 Chevrolets. Cassill and another Sprint Cup Series driver could be used in some events this season. Veteran Johnny Benson is a candidate for one truck next season, with the second truck likely to be split among several rookies. Moss, a wide receiver for the New England Patriots, announced his intentions in April to get involved in the Truck series.

How will Randy Moss be paying for this team?

"Straight cash, hommie."

I say the Necks, (as the stick and ballers call it) will take his money. There have been several other transfers like Staubach and Brad Daughtery, (owned a truck team). A two truck team is pretty ambitious. Heard one of the sponsors will be Bratz.

How does any NFL'r get introduced, and then interested in NASCAR?

I thought there had to be a 4 tooth maximum to get into that "sport".

I don't see how this is going to be a good investment. Most teams don't make much in net income so surely he could have made more putting his money into something else.

The money is too extreme in NASCAR for him to have a team that can compete with the big boys. He'll be out in less than 3 years, if that.

I wonder if they'll just drive when they feel like it? I'm sure Randy would understand.
