I have read several places that if there is motion in the scene you are shooting for HDR then you should shoot in RAW. Why is that?

Good question.
Why don't you post a link(s) to those several places in question and let's see what they have to say.

Well for one, you can extract several different exposures from the same raw file and then HDR away.

I don't do HDR photography, but having the ability to do this (including manual digital blends) and other advantages make shooting raw a no-brainer.
