HOF Sold

Two executives with the Arizona Diamondbacks have purchased majority interest in the NASCAR team owned by Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach, The Associated Press learned Saturday night.

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 at a Sunday news conference at California Speedway, two people familiar with the deal told the AP. They requested anonymity because the formal announcement had yet to be made. (And don't want to be fired!)
