MOORE RACING TRADITION CONTINUES

Don Moore is well known throughout the world for his contributions to choral music. But his other love has always been auto racing. And racing has been a way of life amongst the Moore family. His uncle, Bob Moore (Sr.) was a veteran driver and owner on the MARC new car circuit during the 1950's and was a regular at Sportsman's Park, Northfield, Ohio. Another uncle, Ernie Moore, also tried his hand at stock car racing for a short time. Cousins Ernie and Jeff Moore were championship go kart racers in Florida. And another notable link in the family is his cousin, NASCAR public relations veteran Bob Moore, a well known author in his own right having penned three outstanding books: (1) NASCAR 50 Greatest Drivers, (2) Dale Earnhart: A Legend For The Ages, and (3) Dale Earnhart Sr.

Don Moore first became interested in auto racing when he would attend weekly events with his family at the Akron Rubber Bowl and Sportsman's Park. It wasn't unusual to find Don, his older brother Bud and his cousins involved in summertime bicycle and wagon races on a homemade dirt track behind the Moore house in Kent, Ohio. Later, he would buy a Wahlburg dirt quarter midget with paper route profits and race weekly at the Tallmadge, Ohio Drive-in Theater. That led to a second place finish for the Ohio State Quarter Midget Championship at Columbus, Ohio and first place for the same title. Shortly thereafter, Moore quickly outgrew the quarter midget and "ole number ten" was sold to another up and coming racer. He then turned his attention to his other love, music, and became a teenage attraction playing keyboards each weekend at the Reserve Inn in Hudson, Ohio, owned by auto racing enthusiast, Leo Wagner. In the years that followed, Moore became a middle school music teacher but still kept in touch with racing through the National Speed Sport News. And he became a regular traveler to Indianapolis, Springfield and DuQuoin, Ilinois, New Bremen, Ohio and the Ohio State Fairgrounds to watch the midgets, sprints and championship dirt cars. Many years later, with a teaching career in its final stages and a very successful music publishing business that still continues today, it was time to turn to a lifetime dream of owning a race car team. That dream was helped along in year 2000 when he had a chance meeting with midget driver Chris "Critter" Malone in Malone's frontyard in Speedway, Indiana. Moore, who was in Indianapolis for the Brickyard 400, happened to see a tail tank of Malone's famous midget number seven in front of Critter's house which led to a conversation between the two. Several months later, Moore would become a sponsor of the Malone midget, culminating with a very successful top five finish in the 2002 Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma. But it was time to put both feet in the fire and become a car owner and that happened in April, 2002 with the purchase of a Stealth/Gaerte Chevy dirt midget. It was time to put "ole number ten" back on the track and that he did. But this time, Moore would step aside from the driving chores and would team with some of the best midget drivers in the country. The likes of Indianapolis 500 veteran Donnie Beechler, midget hall of famer Kevin Olson, East Coast sensation Steve Buckwalter, Ryan Scott, son of racing legend Hank Scott, Oklahoma's Andy Pierce and Greg Lueckert of Kansas City have all been a part of the team. Yes, a family racing tradition continues on the dirt tracks of the midwest. And like the song says "Let the good times roll"... And keep rolling!!!

JACOB WILSON WINS US 24 MIDGET CLASH

Twenty-one year old Jacob Wilson drove the Don Moore Music Publications Stealth Sesco Mopar powered midget to a convincing victory Saturday night, September 10th, at US 24 Speedway in Logansport, Indiana. Wilson, from Crawfordsville, Indiana, began the evening by placing second in his heat race. Starting sixth in the twenty car main event, Jake quickly moved to the front taking the checkered flag a half lap ahead of the field.

“This car was like a rocket tonight” said Wilson in victory lane. Jacob is widely known as a pavement specialist but showed no signs of being a rookin on the dirt. This was a repeat victory for the Don Moore owned midget team.

“I decided at the last minute to go racing this weekend. My primary car was under the weather so I dug out the Stealth Mopar which hadn’t been run in two years. It was literally in pieces but I quickly got it back together and headed for Indiana around noon. The car was just perfect tonight,” Moore said.

Next up for the team will be the USAC midget event at Columbus Motor Speedway, Columbus, Ohio, Saturday, September 17.
