John Moore Joins White Racing Services for All-Star Showdown

John Moore’s 2020 Spears Srl Southwest Tour Series season came to an end, after the sixth event of the nine-race schedule for the series. Moore was sitting eighth in the championship standings with one top-five and five top-10 finishes, when an unavoidable business conflict caused him to miss the October Classic at Kern County Raceway. With the missed start, Moore decided to end the SRL season and prepare for the 2021 campaign. That campaign will begin at Irwindale Speedway in the $30,000-to-win “Sunrise Ford All-Star Showdown presented by the West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame” on February 6th.

Moore was the Pacific Challenge Series Champion in 2015 as well as a two-time championship runner-up in that series. The Granite Bay, CA driver is known for his consistency, and knowing how hard to push his racecar. In 2021, that racecar will be a new design for him, as he will be behind the wheel of a Rowdy Manufacturing Super Late Model with Linny White, with White Racing Services, heading up his racing operation. It is one of several changes for JM Racing in 2021.

“John Moore & JM Racing will be undergoing some changes this year”, the elder Moore described. “Cole Moore’s #20 will be doing a limited schedule with the SRL, and will be full-time with Bill McAnally Racing, as the driver of the NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota, in the Driver Development Program for the ARCA Menards Series and the ARCA West. I will be in the #27 and will be switching to the Rowdy Chassis, fielded and housed by Linny White Racing. He has recently hung up his driving shoes and is going full-time Crew Chief. I’m very excited to be driving the race car set up by Linny. He’s a proven veteran with great results, and a huge passion for the sport. Our plan is to run up front and have a good time. I’ll miss Cole being at all the races with me, but the story continues to develop new chapters. The bottom line is; the Moore boys love to race … see you in LA Eyes up, drive fast, rock hard.”

Moore finished fifth in the 2019 SPEARS SRL Southwest Tour Series standing and seventh in 2018. In his 33 career SRL starts he has only two DNF’s, showing his consistency. He has garnered 16 top-10’s in those starts and has a best finish of second, which occurred in 2020 at his home track, ALL AMERICAN SPEEDWAY – ROSEVILLE CA. His Irwindale results have shown to be one of his most difficult tracks, with one top-five and 2 top-10’s, in six starts. His average finish at 14.0, is the worst of any track on the 2021 schedule. But with White’s success at Irwindale, Moore will be looking for improved results.

The JM Environmental Toyota, with its Rowdy Chassis, will be a change for Moore. He hopes with the help a proven winner on the “Tour”, like Linny White, he will be competitive right off the truck. Moore is grateful for the opportunity to pursue this new avenue in his racing career, and for those who have made it possible.

“As always, I’d like to thank all the customers at JM Environmental, that provide the opportunities for me to make the money to participate in the greatest sport on earth, stock car racing”, Moore expressed. I’d like to thank my family and friends for supporting Cole and I, as well as the fans promoters and competitors that keep it fun and interesting. My favorite way to end a conversation …see you at the races!”
