Randy Moss Motorsports?

Randy Moss, football, basketball, basesball, NASCAR?

Yep, Randy Moss has formed Moss Motorsports with the intention of fielding a Craftsman Truck Series entry in the second half of this year and plans to go full time in 2009.

Why not? He’s mellowed and matured since his days at Marshall and the early years with the Minnesota Vikings. We see him doing more with and for youth in the Huntington – Charleston region, both on his own and with buddy Chad Pennington’s 1st and 10 Foundation. Although I still have issues with the whole RandyUniversity comment and some things he said a few years ago about the Marshall football team of 1970. But, in my eyes, he’s proving to be a more mature and involved man as years go by.

Sometimes you just never know who is a gearhead, and Moss says he’s one of us. His Website www.therealrandymoss.com notes he’s been a NASCAR fan for several years and sponsors a local dirt track program. It doesn’t say where, but that’s what it says. We’ll send an e-mail to his folks to find out, though.

Other football legends have gotten into NASCAR. Troy Aikman for one. Not that we’re saying Moss is legend yet, but he is a pretty fair football player and I expect to see him in Canton, Ohio someday.
