Batesville, Arkansas (3/28/12) – Fresh off a second place finish last Saturday night at I-30 Speedway, Billy Moyer Jr. is preparing to return to the World of Outlaws Dirt Late Model tour this weekend in his #21jr Henderson Motorsports/Car City/Imperial Motors/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Pro Power Racing Engine Super Late Model.
Last Friday night Billy entered the $2,000-to-win, season opener for the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) on Friday night at USA Speedway (Sterlington, Louisiana). Twenty-seven cars entered the event, and after pulling a high number at the pill draw, Billy started deep in his heat race grid. He would advance a few spots, but not enough to earn a starting spot in the feature. As a result, he ran a b-main and advanced to a second place finish to lock into the 17th starting spot for the main event. With a one-groove track present for the feature, Moyer Jr. would retire early to a 22nd place finish.
After a frustrating outing on Friday night, Moyer Jr. was looking for better luck on Saturday night, and he would find just that as he entered a $2,000-to-win, COMP Cams Super Dirt Series event at I-30 Speedway (Little Rock, Arkansas). With 32 Super Late Models entered, Moyer Jr. began his night by winning the third heat race to lock into the main event in the fifth starting spot. By lap five of the 35 lap affair Billy was already up to the second spot as he set his sights on the leader, his Dad. By lap ten Moyer Jr. was within three car lengths of the leader as the duo navigated lap traffic. However, as the race progressed the leader would stretch his advantage as Billy settled into the second spot. Moyer Jr. would go on to record his best finish of the year, a second place finish.
Full results from both nights are available at www.COMPDirt.com.
This weekend, March 30th-31st, Billy will resume the World of Outlaws campaign with the annual Illini 100 at Farmer City Raceway (Farmer City, Illinois). After more than his fair share of struggles Moyer Jr. ended Speedweeks thirteenth in the tour standings and third in the rookie standings. He will be looking to make up ground in this weekend’s $20,000-to-win event. For more information on the event, please visit www.WoOLMS.com .
