(BATESVILLE, ARKANSAS) The Billy Moyer Racing (BMR) team spent the majority of the month of February in the states of Georgia and Florida for “Speedweeks 2012.” In all, Billy Moyer entered eleven Dirt Late Model events during his stint down south and reached victory lane on two different occasions. In addition to those two trips to victory lane at the Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida, the Batesville, Arkansas Hall of Famer also recorded four additional Top Five performances.

As mentioned, both of Billy’s wins came during the annual ‘UNOH DIRTcar Nationals’ last week at Volusia. On Tuesday, February 21, Billy led flag-to-flag in the 30-lap UMP main event to capture the $7,000 top prize over Darrell Lanigan, Steve Francis, Rick Eckert, and Dennis Erb, Jr. In the 50-lap ‘UNOH DIRTcar Nationals’ finale on Saturday, February 25, Billy started ninth on the grid and drove to the front of the talented field to grab the lead on lap 32. He then led the remainder of the distance to pocket $10,000 over Don O’Neal, Shane Clanton, Darrell Lanigan, and Steve Francis!

Other Top Five finishes included a second on February 11 at the Waycross Motor Speedway in Waycross, Georgia, a third on February 12 at the Golden Isles Speedway in Brunswick, Georgia, a fourth on February 17 at the Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Florida, and another fourth on February 20 at the Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida. The results from Billy’s trip to Georgia and Florida are shown below, but you can read a detailed race-by-race recap by clicking on www.BillyMoyer.com.

“I am pretty pleased with how everything went during Speedweeks,” commented Moyer earlier this week. “Aside from a few nights where we had problems, the car performed exceptional every night. The talent level down there was just off the charts, especially during the last week at Volusia when they had close to eighty cars. So, to win there twice with basically a World 100 field was really a great way to put an exclamation mark on Speedweeks!”

The famed #21 team is scheduled to take the upcoming March 2-4 weekend off from Dirt Late Model competition, but will return to action on March 9-10. Billy is scheduled to invade the ArkLaTex Speedway in Vivan, Louisiana next weekend for the ‘Pelican 100.’ The unsanctioned, two-day show will pay $10,000 to the winner.
