West Memphis, Arkansas (5/05/09) – After a week off to regroup from a chaotic early season, the stars and cars of the O’Reilly MSRA Super Late Model tour are ready to return to action with a busy weekend in Arkansas.
With the first five events of the 2009 season in the history book Billy Moyer Jr. from Batesville, Arkansas, continues to maintain the top spot in the O’Reilly MSRA standings and will be looking to build on his point’s advantage this weekend.
Behind the point’s leader, things are starting to heat up for the top five positions in the current tour standings. Ray Moore, Kyle Beard (Arkansas), Jeff Floyd (Arkansas), and Jon Kirby (Arkansas) round out the top five in the latest points, with only 48 points separating the top five spots.
