Moyer Dominates at Fayette County Speedway for 90th Victory of His DIRTcar Summer Nationals Career

BROWNSTOWN, Ill. - July 2, 2015 - Billy Moyer dominated the DIRTcar Summer Nationals 50-lap feature on Friday night at Fayette County Speedway to lead a father-son sweep of the top-two spots.

Moyer, of Batesville, Ark., completely controlled the caution-free race, leading the final 47 laps and collecting $10,000 for his efforts while Billy Moyer Jr. held off points-leader Bobby Pierce to finish second. Brian Shirley finished fourth followed by Matt Westfall.

The victory was the 90th of Moyer's DIRTcar Summer Nationals career, breaking a tie with Shannon Babb, who finished 11th on Friday night.

"We've just had some terrible luck," said Moyer, a six-time DIRTcar Summer Nationals champion. "We come out at Brownstown pretty good and lapped cars kind of cost us. And then we had a couple flat tires, broke the transmission at Fairbury. We was running good at a lot of them and then there's a few nights that we haven't been good. This track … I don't know, I like this place. It's a little bullring, but it's racy and it's fun and we just hit everything right tonight."

The DIRTcar Summer Nationals tour races to Highland (Ill.) Speedway on Saturday and Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind., on Sunday.

Harrison Rides the Top Side to DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals Victory at Fayette County Speedway

BROWNSTOWN, Ill. - July 3, 2015 - If Mike Harrison winds up winning the 2015 DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals crown this year for the fourth time in his career, he might look back on Friday night's race at Fayette County Speedway as the one that put him over the top.

Ken Schrader and Kenny Wallace led the field to green, but it took Harrison only five laps to power his way around the top and into the lead, where he would survive two restarts, charge to his fifth victory of the season and strengthen his grasp on the overall championship.

"You could say that's a little home turf advantage there," said Harrison, who is a three-time DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals champion. "I know how this place is and I know if the stuff is right we can usually get around the top of this place pretty good and I think I took them all by surprise a little bit off the bat. I don't think Kenny thought I was coming around the top there. It paid off."

The race was Harrison's seventh during this year's DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals tour and he has five victories. The championship counts a driver's top eight finishes.

Robbie Eilers, Brent Mullins, Kenny Wallace and Ken Schrader rounded out the top five. Harrison's nearest championship foe, Tyler Nicely, was sixth.

The DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals tour invades Highland (Ill.) Speedway on Saturday and Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind., on Sunday.
