FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Billy Moyer Jr. Wins Third COMP Cams MSRA Event of 2010 at NEA Speedway
Harrisburg, AR (07/31/10) – Round #2 of the RiceTec Summer Showdown for the COMP Cams MSRA Super Late Models was held on Saturday night at Northeast Arkansas Speedway in Harrisburg, Arkansas, and it was defending series’ champion, Billy Moyer Jr., who claimed the win. Twenty-nine Super Late Models entered the $2,000 to win event on the ¼ mile oval, which for the second time in 2010 would produce a phenomenal forty lap feature. Jon Kirby was the JFR Graphics Pole Qualifier, and he was joined on the front row by Bill Frye, who would use the cushion to take the lead at the drop of the green flag. Frye would lead the first two circuits before third starting, Billy Moyer Jr., pulled even with him on the third circuit. The duo would battle side-by-side for the lead for two laps before Moyer Jr. assumed the lead for good on the fifth lap. As Moyer Jr. began to inch away from the field Kirby and Frye began to wage a great battle for the second spot. Lap 10 would see top five runner and current COMP Cams MSRA point’s leader, Kyle Beard, slip off the back stretch causing him to fall to the 14th spot. Over the next several laps he would methodically begin to work his way back through the field. Near disaster would strike for second place runner, Bill Frye, on lap 22, as he jumped the cushion and ran off the track, causing him to lose several spots before he was able to recover. However, caution would wave on the same lap as a car at the back of the pack spun. As a result, with the field reverted to the previously completed lap, Frye would resume the second spot. Over the remainder of the event, Moyer Jr. would enjoy a comfortable lead as Kyle Beard found his way back into the top five with ten laps remaining and with a few laps left in the feature would race his way past Bill Frye for the second spot. However, he would run out of time in trying to catch Moyer Jr., who went on to claim his third tour triumph of the 2010 season. Beard, Frye, Kirby, and Jon Mitchell rounded out the top five. Heat races for the twenty-nine car field were won by Rodney Melvin, Bill Frye, Jon Kirby, and Billy Moyer Jr. Todd Hall and Eric Turner won the twin b-mains, while Terry Henson and Eddie Provence utilized series’ provisionals to start the feature. Joey Mack was the Larry Shaw Race Cars Hard Charger after racing his way from his 18th starting position to an 8th place finish. The Quartermaster Hard Luck Award went to Terry Henson, who had the fan blade break in the feature, knocking the plug wires loose, which brought his night to an end.. The COMP Cams Top Performer was Billy Moyer Jr. The COMP Cams MSRA Super Late Model tour will host Round #3 and Round #4 of the RiceTec Summer Showdown next weekend as the series invades USA Speedway (Sterlington, Louisiana) on Friday and I-30 Speedway (Little Rock, Arkansas) on Saturday.

At the time of the caution the top five running order consisted of Mack, Floyd, Moyer Jr., Dacus, and Sloan.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Billy Moyer Jr. Conquers COMP Cams MSRA Season Opener at Beebe Speedway
Beebe, Arkansas (04/09/10) – After surviving a lap one melee and an early battle with Dane Dacus, Billy Moyer Jr. took the lead on the second circuit and never looked back en route to the $2,000 feature win on Friday night in the COMP Cams MSRA Super Late Model season opener at Beebe Speedway in Beebe, Arkansas. Twenty-three Super Late Models, representing four states, entered the 2010 season opener for the COMP Cams MSRA Super Late Model tour. After accumulating the most passing points in heat race action, it was Lakeland, Tennessee’s Dane Dacus, who earned the JFR Graphic Pole Qualifier Award for the main event. Joining Dacus on the front row for the 30 lap feature was Jon Kirby from Russellville, Arkansas. As the field headed into turn one on the first lap, Dacus held a narrow advantage over Kirby, Moyer Jr., and Christian. However, disaster would strike as Kirby and Dacus made contact in the middle of turns one and two, causing the pair to spin in front of the field. Several other cars were caught in the accident including Jack Sullivan, Wendell Wallace, Bill Frye, and Joey Mack. All of the cars with the exception of Kirby, who received heavy front end damage, were able to continue. With a blocked track due to the incident COMP Cams MSRA officials decided to have a complete double file restart with all drivers retaining their original starting position, so Dacus reassumed his position at the front of the field as Billy Moyer Jr. joined him on the front row. The second attempt to get the race underway would go much better as Dacus and Moyer Jr. battled side by side for the lead with Christian, Sullivan, and Wallace in tow. Dacus led the first lap before Moyer Jr. inched ahead for the lead as the field completed the second lap. Over the next few laps Moyer Jr. would extend his advantage to five car lengths as the leaders began to catch the tail of the field. By lap 12 Moyer Jr. was working on heavy lapped traffic as he struggled to put Austin Rettig down a lap. Moyer Jr.’s difficulty in lapped traffic allowed Dacus to close in on his rear decklid as the pair raced nose-to-tail through traffic. On lap 17 Moyer Jr. would finally get past Rettig as he began to lap cars at will, which allowed him to pull away from Dacus. Moyer Jr. would go on to lead the final 13 laps to take the win over Dane Dacus, Gary Christian, Jack Sullivan, and Wendell Wallace as he picked up his third career COMP Cams MSRA Super Late Model win. Heat races were won by Dane Dacus, Gary Christian, Jon Kirby, and Billy Moyer Jr. The b-main event was won by Charlie Cole. Bill Frye was the Larry Shaw Race Cars Hard Charger after advancing from his 13th starting spot to an 8th place finish. The Quartermaster Hard Luck Award went to Jon Kirby after his lap one troubles brought his night to a disappointing, early end. The COMP Cams Top Performer was Billy Moyer Jr. The COMP Cams MSRA Super Late Model tour will invade Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Arkansas on Saturday, April 10th in the Bartlett Hardwood Floor Service Spring Fling 40. Hot laps are slated for 6:30pm with racing action at 7:30pm. For more information, please visit www.RiversideInternationalSpeedway.com .
