Full Biography
|William James Moran, known as Rocky Moran Sr. (February 3, 1950 – September 21, 2024), was an American auto racing driver who primarily drove in the CART Championship Car series. He competed during the 1981, 1985–1990 and 1992–1993 seasons, with 24 career starts, including three in the Indianapolis 500. He failed to qualify for the race on two other occasions and did not appear in 1994 despite being named to an entry. He had two top-ten finishes in CART, both sixth places: at Watkins Glen in 1981 and at Long Beach in 1988.
Moran also teamed up with P. J. Jones and Mark Dismore to win the 1993 24 Hours of Daytona event.
Moran was the father of racer Rocky Moran Jr., with whom he opened the Moran Raceway kart track in Beaumont, California, in June 2003. The track was 1 mile (1.6 km) long, had 19 turns, a 860-foot-long (260 m) straight, and a top speed by 125cc shifter karts of nearly 100 miles per hour (160 km/h). The track closed in 2007.
Moran died of cancer at the age of 74 on September 21, 2024 in Coto de Caza, California.
