Baseball Execs Buy Majority of Hall of Fame Racing:

Two executives with the Arizona Diamondbacks have purchased majority
interest in the team owned by Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach. Jeff
Moorad, chief executive officer of the Diamondbacks, and Tom
Garfinkel, the chief operating officer, will be introduced as the
controlling owners of Hall of Fame Racing Sunday at California
Speedway, two people familiar with the deal told the AP. The original
ownership group, including Aikman and Staubach, will remain involved
as minority owners. But Moorad, who is part of the Diamondbacks
ownership group, and Garfinkel will have controlling interest.
Garfinkel has vast racing experience through his previous role as
executive vice president of Chip Ganassi Racing. Moorad founded his
own management company in 1983, and has represented athletes such as
Manny Ramirez, Will Clark, Steve Young, Warren Moon, and Aikman. It
was that previous relationship with Aikman that led the executives to
Hall of Fame Racing when they began looking for a team to purchase.
Hall of Fame Racing has a close alliance with Joe Gibbs Racing, and
that's not expected to change with the sale. Gibbs currently fields
Chevy, but is expected to announce next week that it is switching to
Toyota. Although aspects of the Hall of Fame sale are still being
discussed, sources told the AP the team will use the same manufacturer
that Gibbs does next season.(USA Today/Associated Press)(9-2-2007)
