Lowell Moural Obituary

LOWELL MOURAL, SR. Lowell Moural, Sr., 72, of Chico, California passed away on August 9, 2023. He left this world doing what he loved, riding his mountain bike. Lowell was born on September 21, 1950 to George and Betty Moural. After graduating from Chico Senior High School, he went on to work in the auto body and paint industry and later owned his own shop, all the while working every spare minute to cultivate a life full of family and fun. Well known for his love of everything motorsports, Lowell got his start racing at Cycleand Speedway as a teenager. His signature style and love of the sport earned him admiration and respect from those he competed with. In the early 80's Lowell purchased his beloved track and together with his family was able to grow it into the training ground and hub for budding racers that it is today. Lowell's most prevalent attribute was his generosity of time, knowledge, and help to any and all who needed it. His talents were endless and he shared these with unmatched enthusiasm every single day. It was difficult to find him without a smile or his hysterical laugh. Lowell is survived by wife Becky Moural, children Heather Moural, Lowell Moural, Jr. (Kelly), Molly Frazier (Bruce), Sally MacMillan (Bruce), Carrie Simmons, (Mike), and his ten beloved grandchildren. He is also survived by sisters Jeanice Eshbaugh (Robert), and Vicki Oilar (Clayton). A gathering of friends and family will be held at Cycleland Speedway, 47 Nelson Rd., Oroville, on Wednesday, August 30th at 4:00 in the afternoon. An honorary organization will be set up at a later time.

CHICO, Calif., Aug 10, 2023…On behalf of SLC Promotions and the Silver Dollar Speedway we regretfully need to report that our mentor and friend Lowell Moural Sr. passed away last night. Words are hard to come by currently, but we all send our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends in this time of sorrow. Lowell was a pioneer in the racing world and led by his own example of what hard work and dedication looked like. His passion for his family, friends, and racing was second to none.
 
When we think of Lowell, we realize that it is no wonder his first name started with a “L.” Words that come to mind using the letter “L” that describe Lowell are Leadership, Loyalty, and Loving. Yet, the biggest word associated with the “L” in his name is Legacy. Lowell left his legacy on the motorsports world for years to come. Lowell, along with his wife Becky and their family, impacted thousands of young lives while owning and operating the nearby Cycleland Speedway. His family hosted go kart and motocross races at Cycleland. Over the past 10 plus years, Lowell has also maintained and shaped the famous clay on the quarter-mile oval called Silver Dollar Speedway. A recent news article noted that for the past 40 years at both Cycleland Speedway and Silver Dollar Speedway one man has been the face for the track surface preparer, Lowell Moural Sr.
 
At this point, we will follow the lead of Cycleland Speedway who first reported the news and copy what they wrote. At this point, the family asks for privacy as they process the loss of an incredible Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Friend to so many. Rest easy, and peacefully Lowell. You will be missed.
