R.I.P. Bud Moore

[TarheelRick]

One of the old-timers and backbone of the real NASCAR.  Ford man all the way.  Mostly a decorated WWII veteran, 3 Purple Hearts and 2 Bronze Stars.  Our VFW post was honored to present him with a folded American flag and a 21 gun volley when  the Occoneechee/Orange County Speedway Restoration Group recognized him on his 90th birthday two years ago.  Many of the outdoor festivities were rained out, but it was still a pleasure to meet him, Ned Jarrett, Marvin Panch, Wendell Scott's daughter, and several others.

I got his autograph at Carlisle a few years back.  They don't make them like him anymore.  Not sure when/where this pic is from.

One of the greats, he will be sorely missed.
