I broke this story a few weeks ago and NOL has an update and even a drawing of the car for a possible return of the #15 Bud Moore Engineering team and sponsorship for the team with AMVETS, see the NOL story at Sponsorship deal possible for Moore Engineering — UPDATE 1: in part….”For AMVETS, the possible deal with the decorated World War II Army veteran and long-time NASCAR team owner(Bud Moore, #15) appears to be a great pairing. AMVETS wants to use the deal, which will be voted on by its committee late next week, to help increase its membership numbers. And ever since the talks became public, AMVETS — more formally known as the American Veterans of World War II, Korea and Vietnam — has been receiving calls about the chances a deal will be completed. All of the interest is persuading AMVETS to approve the deal. The calls are exactly what the organization would be shooting for with a sponsorship program. The proposed deal would be for 21/2 years, beginning with the Coca-Cola 600 on May 30. The Moore team has made several trips to Washington, D.C., for marketing purposes and there already is an artist’s rendering of what the #15 Ford would look like(see NOL for the drawing). If the deal is approved, Jeff Green – who tried to qualify the car at Daytona – would drive most weekends, but the team would need a fill-in during conflicts with Green’s Busch Series schedule. The chances of the deal being approved, according to Moore, are about 70 percent. But he won’t know for sure until next week.” See full tory at Moore, AMVETS near sponsorship deal (Herald-Journal)
