Moyer Jr. cruises to MLRA victory at Lucas Oil Speedway

With persistent rain and unfavorable forecast wiping out the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) doubleheader, Billy Moyer Jr. traveled to Lucas Oil Speedway (Wheatland, Mo.) on Friday evening for the Lucas Oil Midwest LateModel Racing Association (MLRA) sanctioned weekend. Drawing 33 cars for the two-day Fall Nationals, Moyer Jr. came one spot short of a transfer position in his heat with a fifth place finish, transferring him into the B-Main for another shot at the opening night feature. Picking up a 12-lap consolation victory, Billy locked into the 17th-starting position for the A-Main. With $3,000 on the line, Moyer Jr. was an early retiree from the 40-lap affair on lap 24.

The following night, Billy came in eighth fastest in his time trials group before picking up a 10-lap heat race win. After taking command of the lead on the opening lap of the feature, Moyer Jr. slipped back to second on lap 16 when Mason Oberkramer snuck by. With a caution two laps later setting up a heated battle for the top spot, the pair swapped back-and-forth for the lead until Billy took control on lap 27. Dominating the final 23 circuits, Billy Moyer Jr. cruised to the $5,000 victory over Papich, Jason Hurst, Billy Moyer, and Garrett Alberson. Winning by more than a five-second margin, Moyer Jr. recorded his first win of the season.
