Steven “Steve” Willard Moore, age 65, of Carrollton, Georgia, passed away on Monday, September 23, 2024. Born on November 6, 1958, in Carroll County, Georgia, Steve was the son of the late Willard C. Moore and Hildred Heath Moore.
From a young age, Steve had a passion for cars, (especially fast ones). At age 14, he was working in the shop at his Dad’s Chevrolet dealership and a few years later, parlayed that into another family business, Moore Towing. He started out drag racing at local tracks and in 1977, qualified and participated in his first of quite a few NASCAR Grand National races at Talladega. Over the next 11 years, Steve also raced at the major speedways of Atlanta, Daytona, Michigan, Charlotte, Rockingham, Darlington & Pocono, all on a shoestring budget. Steve was ever mindful of his dear friends and local businesses that supported him in his racing career. Finally in 1988, he attained his highest pursuit, he qualified for and ran in the Daytona 500.
