Ralph Alphonso Moody, Jr. (September 10, 1917 – June 9, 2004) was an American racing driver and team owner.

After a brief career racing, including in NASCAR and USAC sanctioned stock car competition, he retired to become a team co-owner of Holman-Moody.

Moody built his first Model T Ford race car in 1935, and ran it on nights and weekends.

He served in the U.S. Army in World War II, and drove a tank under the command of General George S. Patton.

Moody immediately took out a loan against an airplane he owned, and along with John Holman, paid $12,000 to buy the shop and equipment that had been Ford's Charlotte-based racing operation ([1]).
