The NASCAR Craftsman Truck series Built Ford Tough 225 at Kentucky Speedway had at least one famous fan in attendance last night, as the number 81 truck owned by Randy Moss Motorsports made its debut.

Moss, who entered into a partnership with longtime truck owner David Dollar earlier this month, was on hand at the track just outside Louisville as his truck, driven by Willie Allen, started 20th and finished 15th.

The race at Kentucky Speedway was specifically chosen as the track for Moss Motorsports to make its debut because of its proximity to Moss' hometown of Rand, W. Va. It is about a three-hour drive away.

Track vice-president Mark Cassis presented Moss with a custom-made jacket bearing the Kentucky Speedway logo, the Patriots' logo and Moss' new truck number, which is also his own uniform number.

In announcing his partnership with Morgan-Dollar earlier this month, Moss stated that he specifically chose the Craftsman Truck series -- the third of NASCAR's top three tiers -- to get into because he wants to work his way up from the lower level, thinking it will help ensure success for his garage going forward. While former Redskins coach Joe Gibbs has had success at NASCAR's top level, other sports stars have struggled to survive in the top-tier Sprint Series.
