One of the great NASCAR crew chiefs passes away at the ripe old age of 92......Rest in Peace Bud...
"NASCAR Hall of Famer Bud Moore, a World War II veteran awarded five Purple Hearts and two Bronze Stars, has died. He was 92.
Moore won the NASCAR title in 1957 as crew chief for Buck Baker and car owner titles in 1962 and 1963 with Joe Weatherly. He was the oldest living member of the NASCAR Hall of Fame. He was inducted in 2011.
Moore joined the military in 1943 as an 18-year-old machine gunner. He was assigned to the 90th Infantry Division, which landed on Utah Beach in France on D-Day. His unit was attached to General George W. Patton's "Third Army," which pushed to liberate Europe.
NASCAR was formed in 1948 and Moore quickly found a spot in the sport after the war. He referred to himself as "a country mechanic who loved to make 'em run fast."
Teamed with Weatherly, the duo won eight times in 1961 and 12 times during their back-to-back championship seasons. Weatherly died in early 1964 during a race at Riverside (Calif.) International Raceway, ending what could have been a NASCAR dynasty.
Moore's team would not win another title, including in 1978 when Hall of Famer Bobby Allison was runner-up. Allison won the 1978 Daytona 500, a feat not previously accomplished by Moore or Allison.
After Allison won four races in 1980 and finished sixth in points, he left for other opportunities. He was replaced by Benny Parsons, who won three races and finished tenth in points. He too, decided to move on after that season.
Moore hit paydirt in 1982 by hiring a hotshot young superstar named Dale Earnhardt and signed Wrangler Jeans as primary sponsor. Earnhardt had one win in his first year, and finished 12th in points.
Moore's final NASCAR win as an owner was in May 1993 at Sonoma Raceway.

Kurt,
Thanks for posting.
Bud was inducted into NASCAR Hall Of Fame in 2011. Had a long history in the sport when it was still real racing.
Rest In Peace, Bud.
