(BATESVILLE, ARKANSAS) Batesville, Arkansas Hall of Famer Billy Moyer wrapped up a Lucas Oil MLRA Series tripleheader in the Hawkeye State in victory lane, as he notched career win #818 on Saturday evening, May 6 at Independence Motor Speedway in Independence, Iowa! Billy won his heat race in preliminary action and later started the 40-lap headliner from the pole position. He then dominated the caution-free feature to lead wire-to-wire to claim the $3,000 winner’s check over Rodney Sanders, Chris Simpson, Brent Larson, and Jimmy Mars!
Earlier in the extended weekend, the #21 team was in the pit area at Lee County Speedway in Donnellson, Iowa and Davenport Speedway in Davenport, Iowa for two more $3,000 to win MLRA showdowns. On Thursday night at Lee County, Billy placed third in his heat race before picking off six competitors during the 40-lapper en route to a strong fifth place showing behind only victor Chris Simpson, Tony Jackson, Jr., Jimmy Mars, and Chad Simpson. At Davenport on Friday, Billy effectively scratched from the program following a seventh place heat race finish on the 1/4-mile oval. Complete results from the MLRA triple shot can be viewed online at www.mlraracing.com.
“We just keep working at it; we’re doing a bunch of new stuff here,” commented Moyer following Saturday’s triumph while in MLRA victory lane. “We’ve had a lot of ups and downs, but we’re learning what we needed to learn. Just hopefully we keep getting a little bit better.” The popular driver known as “Mr. Smooth” would like to thank all of the valued sponsors on his Crop Production Services / Henderson Motorsports / Mesilla Valley Transportation / Karl Chevrolet / Karl Performance / Jack’s Carquest #21 Victory Race Car by Billy Moyer, as he could not do it without their dedication and support of his BMR team!
