Moss expanding his horizon

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- After eyeing NASCAR for some time, Randy Moss has a foot in the door. The Patriots All-Pro receiver has announced he's purchased 50 percent of a Truck Series team.

Randy Moss Motorsports will make its debut on July 19th at Kentucky Speedway with Willie Allen driving the Number 81 Chevrolet. The number was changed from 46 to reflect Moss' NFL jersey number.

Moss says he decided to buy half of Morgan-Dollar Motorsports rather than build a team from the ground up. Moss wants the team to eventually move up to the premier Sprint Cup Series.
