Greg Moore who was born and raised in Spartanburg, South Carolina,
one of three sons of NASCAR Hall of Famer Bud Moore. Bud Moore is a
highly decorated World War II veteran who landed on Utah Beach on
D-Day. Greg lived in an auto racer's world in which his father's
cars and drivers won dozens of races and back to back
championships. Those drivers were Greg's friends, and two died in
racing crashes within a year when he was 6 to 7 years old. Greg
chose racing over college and went to work in his father's
business, staying there for the next 25 years. He worked especially
with racing engines and became team manager for such winning
drivers as Bobby Allison, Dale Earnhardt, Ricky Rudd, and Geoff
Bodine until Bud Moore Engineering was sold in 2000. Greg
accompanies his father everywhere making personal appearances with
other celebrities and was present in 2010 when Bud Moore was voted
into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, its 10th member. Greg's personal
recollections of a life that others could only dream of from
childhood to adulthood gives fascinating insight into the world of
big time stock car racing.
