Moring Motorsports

Where has this car been? Larry finally have enough and throw in the towel? I know it hasn't been the permanent fixture on the race track as it been in years past, but it was nice to see the brown hauler from time to time.

A lot good drivers sat behind the wheel of those cars over the years.

I know Birky hasn’t raced in awhile but that might make a good eastern Iowa team, assuming he ever wants to race again.

Stucky took care of all of that stuff right? Seemed like he’s been focused on Garrett and Cade recently

Last time I remember seeing it, Chad Simpson was wheelin it. That was back pre covid.
Yer right Z. A LOT of really good guys have been in that ride.

[zyoung25]

HH25, Chad drove it during the double dreams last year I know. It's been MIA since then.

Ronnie did wrench on the car when it raced, but I believe the cars were housed in Illinois. I would think if the hauler had sold, we would have seen somewhere by now.

Last I knew it was raced by Chad Simpson. As for Birky, he’s done.

I wrote Matt Miller a $5000 check, for winning our WDRL race in 09, in that ride.

Then was working at East Bay the next February, when Jim Wilson called, and was forced to shut that great WDRL series down.

The Moring team was sitting next to us in the East Bay restaurant, at the time of that call, and passed the sad series news along.

Great group of guys in that Moring team, and the giant hauler was kinda their show piece.

The irony of the above story was, Chad Simpson finished 2nd in that WDRL race. Then turned out to be the last driver to race that Moring ride, a decade later.

Wasn't this the team Steve Francis drove for before hanging it up?

Wasn't this the team Steve Francis drove for before hanging it up?

Yes, they had a 3 year deal with Dodge and Stanton built the Dodge engines for them. I can't recall if he retired directly after that or raced for himself or someone else for a couple more years

Others that have driven the Moring car, off the top of my head:

Gary Webb
Darrell Lanigan
Jared Landers

[BirkyTime15B]

Gary Webb was the most successful person in that car.

Wendell Wallace

I heard the last few years that Larry ran the team, that he let the drivers keep all the winnings. He just wanted the trophy if they won.

[JimBo]

Remember the "Desert Storm" tribute car that Gary Webb and others drove?
