Really saddened to hear of longtime #NASCAR owner Bud Moore’s passing. Owners of the early years of racing were a different breed, before helicopters and $1mm motorhomes and it really hurts every time we lose one.

Most in the NASCAR community remember him as a racing legend, but his WW2 experiences are what sets Bud apart.

I drove for Bud Moore in 1973, only for a few races, we had very little success on the track but because good friends off the track, he was passionate about everything he did, he will be missed, R.I.P. my friend.

Hero is often over utilized. In the case of @NASCARHall Inductee Bud Moore, that word is a perfect fit. Saddened beyond words but so honored to have known him and call him a friend. #RIPBud https://t.co/h69y0qBthL
