NASCAR’s Dubious 1977 Showcase of Women Drivers

Journeywoman Appreciation: Patty Moise

There have been a number of groundbreaking women in racing, but I think the one who did more to normalize the idea of a woman being a series regular in stock car racing more than any other was Patty Moise. Coming from a successful sports car background, Patty ran a part-time Busch series schedule from 1986-1989 as an owner-driver, with her best performances coming at a race in Road Atlanta in 1987 where she qualified outside pole, led 18 laps and finished in the 8th place. She had just one other top 10 during that time (the same season at Martinsville), but when her equipment didn’t fail she found herself regularly capable of scoring top 20 finishes. During this time she also made 5 Cup races and attempted a few more, with her best result being a 26th at the 1988 July Daytona race.

After she sold her team to legendary chassis man Mike Laughlin, she ran nearly the complete season in 1990 finishing 22nd in points with 8 top 20 finishes to her credit and and best finished of 12th at Martinsville, and she also married the first driver highlighted by this series in Elton Sawyer back when I kept things much shorter. She returned to just part time status from 1991-1994, finishing half of her 12 starts during that period in the top 20. Finally in 1995 she returned to full-time driving for Doug Taylor. This effort didn’t prove to be entirely successful, with several DNQs and DNFs for various reasons over the year but she did manage a top 10 at Talladega and and 4 top 20s while being the first full-time female driver in the series history, finishing 25th in points. The next year she’d drive part-time for her husband, picking up a few more top 20 finishes. She finally finished up her career driving for Michael Waltrip in 1999, DNQing for a great number of races in a year with a stiff car count but getting her final career top 10 finish at Bristol and handful more top 20s.

Nobody is ever going to argue Patty Moise was one of the best drivers of her era, she never had the type of equipment she could prove herself to be even if she had the ability to be. However, she persevered to easily have the longest and fullest Busch/Nationwide/Xfinity career of any female driver in an era where horrible sexism in the sport was simply the status quo and there are many journeypeople I have or will cover in this series who would have killed to have a 4 top 10 career in the Busch series or over 100 career starts in that series.

1994 Patty Moise #40 Purex Ford Thunderbird

Jacksonville, Florida’s own Patty Moise has raced in NASCAR for many years. She didn’t win a race, but has a few top 10’s in the Xfinity Series. In 1994 and 1995, she raced the Purex Thunderbird for Doug Taylor. I like the shades of blue and red, and the design is decent. My only complaint is that I think the white stripe between the two isn’t needed,…

This week I invite you closer into my personal life to walk through a remembering/honoring of the violent murder of my dog companion, Phoenix, eight years ago to the day. Gun violence is perpetual under male supremacy and this experience brought it to my hearth as it has come to so many women around the world, maybe even yours. I hope that this personal sharing touches and strengthens you and the entire Liberation Movement on the planet. If you want to read more of my personal walk through this experience, I invite you to gently read it at: phxlabyrinth.blogspot.com. Thank you for your kind ears.
