HIGHLAND IL ( June 3, 2011) The first stop on the NALMS (Northern All Stars Late Models) Tri State Challenge is in the books and Batesville AR’s Billy Moyer lead flag to flag for the $5000 check. The High Side Hustler Jason Feger of Bloomington IL was overall fast qualifier. Heat wins went to Moyer, Mike Spatola, Highland regular Mark Faust and the Mowekwa Missile Shannon Babb.
The 21 of Moyer lead all forty laps of the main event, never challenged by any other competitor. Faust hung in for the first part of the race, but faded back as Moyer ran a blistering pace. By lap 10 Moyer had caught the back half of the field and started to slice and dice his way through. Mike Spatola moved into the number two spot as Feger worked his way into the top five. By lap 16 Feger positioned himself into the number 2 spot but by now Moyer had nearly a straight away lead. At lap 26 the first caution of the race came out for a slowing Randy Korte. This gave an opportunity for Feger and Babb to see the rear of Moyer’s 21 racer. As soon as the green flag flew Moyer looked like he was shot out of a cannon. Several short yellows brought the field back together, and each time the Batesville AR driver took command of the race leaving the two Central Illinois drivers, Feger and Babb to duke it out for second. When the double checkers flew Billy Moyer took home the $5000 check and the first win of the Tri State Challenge. Fri Night the Challenge continues at the Paducah International Raceway Iin Paducah KY and on Saturday night it concludes at The I-55 Raceway in Pevely MO. Feger won the battle for second over Babb, Spatola finished third and Highland regulars Faust and Michael Kloos finished fifth and sixth respectfully.
Scotty Weber starting on the outside pole got the trophy in the Steve Schmitt Modifieds, finishing ahead of Dean Hoffman, Brett Korvis, Steve Lach and Gabe Menser. Wes O’Dell won the dash and O’Dell, Hoffman and Weber picked up heat wins.
Zach Hoffman won the Factory Stock feature and Kyle Swip won the Sport Compact Feature.
