HoF Racing forms board with sponsor-value focus

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Hall of Fame Racing officials on Tuesday announced the formation of a Board of Advisors to serve as conduits for excellence in business practices and driving more value for sponsors.

Jeff Moorad and Tom Garfinkel own Hall of Fame Racing and field the No. 96 Toyota in the Sprint Cup Series for driver J.J. Yeley.

"In an effort to add more value to sponsors and operate with transparency about how their investments in our team are deployed, we've invited executive leadership from our sponsors to participate on the Board as well."

"This is a virtual dream team of successful business leaders and entrepreneurs who will assist us in our quest for building a great organization," Moorad said. "Their vast experience and unparalleled integrity will be invaluable to us and our partners as we move forward."

The Board of Advisors will consist of:
• Bob Damon, President of Korn/Ferry International;
