Biography: Shane has been racing for 24 years now, beginning with kart racing at the age of 7. In 1998, He began racing Mini-Sprints and won the SOWRA Championship in 2000. Beginning in 2001, Shane raced with several different sanctions, including ASCS, USCS, and SUPR. Shane finished 4th in points with the SUPR sanction in 2003 and 3rd in 2004. In 2004, he raced one race with the CSA and decided that they were the association he wanted to race with full-season. The crew and Shane’s family enjoyed the people within the sanction so much, that they became like a second family to them. Shane won the CSA Points Championships in 2005 & 2006. Also in 2005 & 2006, he raced in Charlotte, North Carolina at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in the ASCS Heintz Performance Championships, and finished in the top 5 in 2005 & top 10 in 2006. He has also served as a board member with the CSA sanction. In 2007, Shane decided to run full time with the ASCS Coastal Region, and finished 3rd in points with them that year. After a season break, he came back to the CSA in 2008; receiving a 2nd place points finish for the year. Midway through the 2008 season, Shane and his car owner at the time decided to part ways, and so became SMR (aka-Shane Morgan Racing). Then in 2009, their one car team became a two car team, when they acquired a team mate in long time friend Brandon Olsen. Morgan Racing consisted of car #01 & car #02 in 2009 & 2010. The 2009 season was completed with earning several awards, including Shane’s Points Championship finish of 2nd place & Brandon’s finish at 4th. The team was also awarded Best Appearing Cars & Crew in 2009 & 2010. Shane finished the 2010 season with a 4th place Points Championship finish. With many new changes on the horizon, Team #01 and Shane are hoping for a clean, successful season in 2011. Shane could not compete throughout the full season without the help and support of all his sponsors and crew members! Shane’s crew for the 2011 season is as follows: Ronnie Morgan, Car owner & Crew chief; James Bond, On-track assistant; Larry Richards, Crew member; & Hue Snowden, Crew member. Look for us in the states of Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida this season, and we’ll see YOU at the races!
