Dave W. McMurray (1941-2021)

Local businessman and former Redwood Acres Raceway driver Dave McMurray passed away Tuesday June 15 at the age of 80. McMurray was the president and owner of McMurray & Sons Roofing and had guided the successful business through its 100th year of operation in 2019.

McMurray was a major supporter of racing at Redwood Acres Raceway both on and off the track. McMurray raced at the Acres in its dirt days and was very successful. More recently, McMurray raced Thunder Roadsters at RAR as well as in INEX sanctioned events at Sonoma Raceway and Thunderhill Raceway. In addition, McMurray & Sons Roofing has been a major partner in helping make races at RAR happen for many, many years. In addition, McMurray & Sons has been a sponsor of modified driver Darrin Knight who has had his share of success at RAR. McMurray was key in helping put together the purse for this season’s Fall Spectacular event for the North State Modified Series. The 60-lap race will be the richest in the history of the popular Northern California touring series.

Redwood Acres Raceway officials would like to extend their deepest condolences to the family, friends and employees of Dave McMurray. We thank him for all of the support he has given to the raceway throughout the years. Racing at the Acres would have been lesser if not for him.
