CHARLESTON, WV - Moments after West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin shouted "Gentlemen, start your engines," Herd Racing's #75 Marshall University stock car invaded the State Capitol grounds on Thursday, February 28.
Driver Brett Rowe pulled the metalic green and white 2008 Dodge Charger right up to the Capitol steps during an afternoon news conference to introduce the team, car and driver to West Virginians across the state.
The car, which will race in NASCAR's Nationwide Series on a part time basis this year, was left on display for Capitol visitors before being whisked to the Huntington Civic Arena where it remained on public display through Sunday evening, March 2.
The car will make its racing debut at Lowe's Motor Speedway in the Carquest Auto Parts 300 on May 24.
