Founded Weld Racing Wheels in 1967, initially to help his brother's sprint-car career. The company since evolved into one of the premier racing wheel companies. Greg retired, aged 30, to concentrate on running the business, which still supplies most of the wheels for all US racing series. Bought out in 2006, he began appearing at more historic events, but in 2008, he sadly died of a heart-attack. He also worked as a promoter of the I-70 Speedway in Odessa and one of the races he promoted was the Jerry Weld Memorial in honour of his brother, who died in 1970. As a driver, Greg was excellent in sprint cars.
