A Hero’s Drive: James Hinchcliffe’s Tribute To Greg Moore | Sportsnet Presents

[@GinoU21]

1999 Michigan 500 weekend. I was wearing my Greg Moore shirt and standing outside his trailer between practice sessions. I stood there about an hour wanting to meet him and get an autograph. Finally, someone came out of the truck and came over to me and asked if I was waiting to meet Greg and I said yes. This person (I think it was a team member, but honestly don't remember) went in the truck, and they both came out and Greg talked to me for about five minutes about racing and hockey. Very similar to the story Hinch told about the steering wheel. Just shows what kind of person he was.

Greg's indy lights mechanic Steve Brody died on August 22, 2021. RIP.

That is brought tears to my eyes. I was a huge Greg Moore fan back in the day. So sad that his life was cut short. Thank you for sharing this tribute to a great racer.

[@Shadowmick]

That was amazing thank you for posting this the gloves wow a beautiful story.. I will never forget a moment in Vancouver his go friend from Maple Ridge just jumped over to say hi to Greg in the driver's parade...as Greg came past they whooped it up. His friend sat talking to us it showed atrue friendship. RIP 99

there will never be another Greg Moore

I got to talk to Gregg in the Houston race, he was very nice and didn’t mind answering any questions. He was no hurried in any way. He even offered to let me come and see his car that he was going to race the next day. I didn’t think that in October he would be gone! Such a sad thing for him to loose his life as he was such a talented and kind person!

[@djbadlt]

I got to meet him at Nazareth in '98 during the rain out, the team set up a little canopy and he was signing autographs and taking pictures with fans, he was just so nice, like I remember he helped my father with the disposable camera, like he was just a genuine and down to earth dude

[@mitch868]

Thank you for this remembrance, James. Greg meant so much to us Canadian racers. Much love, 💜🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I was 13 that day... A weired german Kid watching CART on Eurosport at 10pm german time, everyone was in bed already just me and the TV showing this spectacle. When i fall asleep, before the annoincement that Greg passed away I was still hoping Greg is OK... on next morning I tried to find out about Gregs status but it was hard without internet and before school. But after all they showed it in the News,and that Greg is gone.... They never showed anything about CART or NASCAR in Germany at all these days, but when something shocking happens ... they are there.... It was symply hard for a Kid swallow that pill... RIP Greg

Same here just that I was 15 around that time and was watching the whole race up until the announcement came in. Didn't care at all who is going to win the race or the Championship that night. All what mattered to me was if Greg is going to be okay and when the announcement was made by Dr. Olvey I immediately turned off the TV. Never watched CART again and it was up until Hinchcliffes arrival in IndyCar when I found my way back to US Openwheel racing.

Ich habe das Rennen auf Eurosport live gesehen. Ich war ein Fan von J. Villeneuve und weil Greg sein Nachfolger bei Forsythe war habe ich naturlich Greg die daumen gedruckt. Ich war 17, mein Cousin war bei mir zu Besuch und wir haben das Rennen geguckt. Und dann kamm der crash und mir war sofort klar das er das ganz schwer uberleben konnte 😞😞

[@iampete8692]

That was beautiful RIP Greg Moore

[@chasee3797]

Just awful how he was taken from us much too soon. Wish we could have seen him race with Penske. I love to see Hinch paying tribute to his hero

[@lestercombs1871]

Rest in peace Greg. Your talent won’t be forgotten ever.

[@koritnica]

23 years today, still missed.

[@losingmysanity1]

Can't stop crying to this, This is tough to watch even though I never watched him race or met him.

[@VeliusCoba]

Very beautiful tribute, Thank you.

[@matthewjohnson3910]

That's awesome thanks for sharing 👍

[@johnoxenreider9094]

Still miss that guy...

[@TheGammingPie]

I was too young to watch Greg Moore live but i NEVER seen a guy have so much control and Race craft... And when James Hinchcliffe Crash i thought... its Greg Moore all over again!

[@maxbembel2962]

See you up front, Greg.

[@richardmorris7063]

Being a fan of IndyCar is different, as a 9 yr old boy from Ohio watching Mario win his only Indy 500 victory I was bit by the bug.living in Florida all these yrs later I don't have a single friend that knows the sport.Greg would have been up there with Mario ,aj, big al.racing kind of died around this time,we lost Greg,dale Earnhardt,& ayrton senna.I still watch but not the same as it was.rip to all who gave their life for the love of motorsports..

[@twillis449]

I always felt that Greg had the potential to reach F1 if he'd wanted to go there.

[@STREET24000]

@@twillis449 I heard somewhere that if he hadn’t died sometime in the early 2000’s Williams would have given him an F1 test

[@DonnyLusk]

I was so devastated when Greg passed away. What a loss man.

[@evracer]

I watched the crash live....you just knew it wasn't survivable. Instantly sick to my stomach.

[@busher69]

I was watching live also. No body survives that crash. A sad, sad day. Greg was gonna be a great one. May he rest in peace.

[@maxrodgers6676]

I was at the marboro 500 when he was killed that was a sad day in Fontana California!!!

[@justonsullivan3807]

R.I.P Greg, u are missed by most, and u will never be forgotten. 🙏🇺🇲🗽🇨🇦🙏

[@azapro911]

Saddest irony of Moore's death is that it came on the very kind of super speedway he specialised at.

[@krisgrey5555]

Red Gloves Rule!

[@acrock21]

That was Hinchcliffe’s only pole so far.

[@bryanelam7431]

He sure did look like his dad!

[@davidbloom2373]
