From the outside looking in, Tommy Houston and Rob Moroso seemed as different as it was possible to be.
Houston was the grizzled veteran who began racing before Moroso was born. Moroso, on the other hand, was the rich kid whose family had long been in the racing business. Houston was the family man, Moroso the young bachelor.
Yet there they were in Houston’s van, an hour or so after Moroso had clinched the 1989 Busch Series championship following a spirited late-season battle with Houston.
The last few weeks of the season had not been kind to Houston. Debris went through the nose of Houston’s car at Charlotte, dropping him out of the point lead. He regained the top spot a week later, but then a failed engine in the season finale at Martinsville ended his hopes for good.
This is Tommy Houston’s story.
