Four finalists announced for 2002 Greg Moore Legacy Award. source: motorsport.com INDIANAPOLIS - 2002 CART FedEx Championship Series race winners Paul Tracy and Patrick Carpentier, 2002 CART Toyota Atlantic Championship runner-up Michael Valiante, and 2002 Barber Dodge Pro Series champion AJ Allmendinger have been announced as the finalists for the Third Annual Greg Moore Legacy Award. The award was created in honor of Canadian Champ Car star Greg Moore, who lost his life in the 1999 CART season finale, and will be presented to the driver who best typifies Moore's legacy of outstanding talent on track, as well as displaying a dynamic personality with fans, media, and within the CART community. As Moore was a product of the CART Ladder System - having competed in the Dayton Indy Lights Championship from 1993-95 and winning 10 of 12 races en route to the series title in 1995 - drivers from the top two CART development series are also eligible for the award. "Greg Moore was one of the brightest stars in the CART FedEx Championship Series prior to his tragic death," said CART President and CEO Christopher R. Pook. "I have no doubt that Greg would have won several more races and the series championship. The four drivers that have been chosen as finalists for the 2002 Greg Moore Legacy Award have shown the same kind of spirit and dedication throughout this season that Greg had throughout his entire career. This is an extremely special award, and all of the drivers who have been nominated should feel tremendously honored."
