He started Brundage Motors in Florida as an import business to help fund his amateur racing habit (communicating at the time via Telex machine, Brundage would abbreviate <strong>Bru<\/strong>ndage <strong>Mo<\/strong>tors as <strong>Brumos<\/strong> and the name stuck).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>He initially imported Volkswagens and then Porsches and became a Porsche dealer. Along the early days of the Brumos trail, Mr. Brundage entered and ran cars for legendary sports car racer Bob Holbert and motorsport and business legend Roger Penske.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The company evolved to include a few dealerships and a Brumos racing team. After Brundage died in 1964, racecar driver <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Peter_Gregg_(racing_driver)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Peter Gregg<\/a> purchased the company from the Brundage family and started making a name for Brumos in the racing world. Its fame grew further when Gregg teamed up with soon-to-be racing legend Hurley Haywood.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Hurley-Haywood-and-the-late-Peter-Gregg_1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-695295 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Hurley-Haywood-and-the-late-Peter-Gregg_1.jpg\" alt=\"Peter Gregg and Hurley Haywood\" width=\"750\" height=\"568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Hurley-Haywood-and-the-late-Peter-Gregg_1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Hurley-Haywood-and-the-late-Peter-Gregg_1-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Hurley-Haywood-and-the-late-Peter-Gregg_1-100x76.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Hurley-Haywood-and-the-late-Peter-Gregg_1-293x222.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\r\n<figcaption>Hurley Haywood and Peter Gregg<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 29px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The duo went on to win major races in the 1970s, including 24 Hours of Daytona four times, behind the wheel of Porsches with Brumos liveries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The racing team continued to log victories for the next few decades under various owners, including car collector Dan Davis, until the 2010s when the racing program was shuttered and the dealerships sold.
