Davey Moore skipped over the entry level divisions and began racing by purchasing a modified from top competitor Ivan Little in 1970. It was near the end of his third season before Moore claimed his first feature event win at Merrittville Speedway ON, but he went on to win five track championships at the venue as well as five track titles at the Ransomville Speedway NY.[3]
Moore also has won at Canandaigua Speedway NY, Five Mile Point Speedway in Binghamton NY, Humberstone Speedway in Port Colborne ON, Rolling Wheels Raceway in Elbridge NY and Weedsport Speedway NY, and captured the 1981 Independence Day event at the Syracuse Mile NY.[4][5][6]
Davey Moore was inducted into the St. Catharines Sports Hall of Fame in 1997 and the Northeast Dirt Modified Hall of Fame in 2003.[7][8]
