Billy Moyer Jr. Gets First Win of ’15; Show Me 100 Next

Batesville, Arkansas (05/19/15) – Billy Moyer Jr. piloted his Crop Production Services #21jr Longhorn/Pro Power Racing Engine Super Late Model to his first victory of 2015 with a triumph on Saturday evening at Legit Speedway Park (West Plains, Missouri).

Via preliminary action Moyer Jr. earned the pole position on the twenty-four car grid for the $1,500-to-win affair. During the race’s early stages he had to fend away advances for the top spot from Jared Landers, and in the late going it was Justin Asplin, who challenged for the lead. Despite the best efforts of his competitors, Billy Moyer Jr. would be able to wire the field in the feature for his first win of the season. Asplin, Jeff Roth, Randy Roth, and Greg Hughes rounded out the top five finishers.

“The first win of the year always feels good, and to get it at West Plains, where my family and I have so much history really means a lot,” commented Moyer Jr. “I know a lot of people are surprised to see me back in the car so soon after my announcement of an indefinite leave a month or so ago. I wasn’t sure initially how much time I would need as a break. “He concluded by saying, “I’m still taking things day to day as far as my racing schedule, and trying to find that perfect balance. Right now though I feel really good about where I’m at with everything.”

Full results from the event are available at www.LegitSpeedway.com .

Happy, Texas (05/19/15) – Rodney Sanders parked his #20 Swan Energy/MB Customs Open Wheel Modified in victory lane for the seventh time this season with a triumph at I-94 Speedway (Fergus Falls, Minnesota) on Friday evening.

The two-time and defending USMTS Champion started 13th in the finale at I-94 Speedway. Despite starting deep in the grid Rodney wasted no time working his way forward through the pack. On lap 14 he rocketed into the lead and proceeded to drive away from the field to score the victory by almost four seconds. He was followed across the finish line by Brent Larson, Tim Johnson, Joey Jensen, and Scot Danzeisen. The victory marked his seventh of the year.

On Saturday the action moved on to Ogilvie Raceway (Ogilvie Minnesota). Rodney managed to pull off a 3rd place in his heat, gaining him a spot in the USMTS Casey’s Cup A-main. After starting 11th in the feature Rodney worked his way through the field to obtain a solid 3rd place finish behind race winner, Stormy Scott, and Dan Ebert.

“With all of the rain we haven’t had many chances to race over the past month, so it feels good to race and win again,” said Sanders. “There’s a lot of racing in the next few weeks so hopefully we can keep contending for wins.”

Full results from the weekend are available at www.USMTS.com .

The Memorial Day weekend will see Rodney entering four $3,000-to-win, USMTS events.
