Millions of racing fans following the Bojangles’ Southern 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup event at Darlington Raceway in South Carolina will see some motorsports history on the front fender of each car on the track. 
Federal- Mogul Motorparts’ original MOOG Steering and Suspension brand’s racing decal – first displayed by Cup competitors in 1966 – will be used by teams as part of a celebration of the return of the Southern 500 to Labor Day Weekend. MOOG, in its 50th year of Cup competition, is the official steering and suspension part supplier for NASCAR. The company said David Pearson, who in 1966 won the first of his three NASCAR championships and began the MOOG brand’s 49-year streak of Cup titles, was among the first drivers to display the blue-and-yellow “MOOG High Performance Chassis Parts” decal. Mr. Pearson won 14 of 49 events that season running with MOOG parts. Aftermarket brands sold and distributed by Federal-Mogul Motorparts include ANCO wiper blades; Champion spark plugs, wipers and filters; AE, Fel-Pro, FP Diesel, Goetze, Glyco, Nüral, Payen and Sealed Power engine products; MOOG steering and suspension parts; and Ferodo, Jurid and Wagner brake products.(Tire Business)(9-2-2015)
