(BATESVILLE, ARKANSAS) Â Billy Moyer, of Batesville, Arkansas, dropped into Federated Raceway at I-55 in Pevely, Missouri on Saturday evening, August 11 and laid claim to his seventh feature win of the 2018 campaign! Â In a weekly UMP Super Late Model event, Billy won his heat race in preliminary action and later started third on the grid in the 25-lap headliner. Â The Dirt Late Model Hall of Famer then grabbed the top spot early in the feature distance and led the majority of the contest to bag the $1,200 winner’s check ahead of Ken Rumble, Jeff Herzog, Tim Ratajczyk, and Rickey Frankel!
A night earlier, the #21 team was in the pit area at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Illinois for a $5,000 to win MARS Racing Series shootout. Â Billy placed third in his heat race and later started the 40-lap main event from the inside of the fifth row. Â The popular driver known as “Mr. Smooth” unfortunately suffered transmission woes during the course of the race and wound up retiring in the nineteenth position. Â Complete results from both weekend races can be viewed online at www.tricityspeedway.net and www.i55raceway.com.
