Lou Moore

Lewis Henry Moore (September 12, 1904 – March 25, 1956) was an American racing driver and team owner.

Moore earned a reputation as a hard-nosed team owner who expected his drivers to follow orders.

Holland complied and eased off, but Rose ignored the signal, and with just eight laps to go, broke a magneto strap and retired.

Holland cruised to an easy win and when Rose arrived back at the pits, Moore fired him on the spot.

[3] Moore retired from racing as an owner in 1953 following the on-track death of his friend, Chet Miller.
