Greg Moore: A Legacy of Spirit

What is it about Greg Moore (inducted 2000) that caused so many to fall in love and so many to be devastated when he died?  Greg’s life was a celebration of youth, spirit, accomplishment, and charity.  He was doing what he loved, with people he loved and respected.  He was succeeding as an automobile racer and, even more, as a human being.  He inspired everyone to act openly, positively, and with good humor.

Although he seemed settled and mature, Greg Moore still revealed a sense of adventure and wonder.  His achievements as a driver were impressive and have assured him a place in the galaxy of greats.  Yet his spirit of sincerity and goodwill is the abiding memory that will live on. Through the memories of his family, friends, colleagues, mentors, and Greg himself, Greg Moore: A Legacy of Spirit tells the story of this.
