Batesville, Arkansas (06/21/15) – Billy Moyer Jr. scored the second win of 2015 in his Crop Production Services #21jr Longhorn/Pro Power Racing Engine Super Late Model with a triumph at Farley Speedway with the DIRTCar Summer Nationals.

Continuing on the 2015 Summernationals Hell Tour, Billy Moyer Jr. made the trip to Jacksonville Speedway (Jacksonville, Illinois) on Tuesday evening. With twenty-two cars on hand for the ILMO Propane Wildman Kelly Classic, Billy got off to a quick start by setting a new track record in qualifying. Starting in 2nd for the 40-lap A-Main, Moyer Jr. battled for the top spot until finding trouble with a lap car. Following the damage from the contact, Moyer Jr. persevered to finish 7th in the feature event. 

On Wednesday night Billy Moyer Jr. visited Farley Speedway (Farley, Iowa) for another Hell Tour race, which was sanctioned by the DIRTCar Summer Nationals. With a strong field of 25 Super Late Models entered Billy followed his quick time in his qualifying group with a heat race win. In the finale, Moyer Jr. assumed the lead from the drop of the green flag and went on to lead all 50 laps to capture the $10,000 payday. He was followed across the finish line by Chris Simpson, Bobby Pierce, Shannon Babb and Chad Simpson. The victory marked his first Hell Tour victory of the 2015 season and his second triumph overall.

While Thursday and Friday night’s events at Spoon River Speedway (Canton, Illinois) and Tri City Speedway (Pontoon Beach, Illinois) fell victim to rain, the tour was able to resume action at Fairbury American Legion Speedway (Fairbury, Illinois). Moyer Jr. enjoyed a great run in the $10,000-to-win event, where he recorded a 3rd place finish behind race winner, Shannon Babb, and Ryan Unzicker.

“After some mechanical issues to start the Summer Nationals, it sure felt good to get the monkey off our back with the win,” said Moyer Jr. “Hopefully we can continue to enjoy success. I’m still not sure if we’ll stick with the whole tour, so right now we’ll continue to take it race by race.”

Shane Clanton Dominates Fonda for WoO Triumph; Continues Great North Tour

Zebulon, Georgia (06/21/15) – Shane Clanton dominated the World of Outlaws Late Model Series (WoOLMS) event on Thursday evening at Fonda Speedway in his Weldbank Energy #25 Capital/Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model. The victory was his eighth of the season.

Shane Clanton started the World of Outlaws Great Northern swing with a bang. On Thursday night he made the trip to Fonda Speedway (Fonda, New York), where he scored the convincing win. Competing against a field of twenty-five Super Late Models, the third starting Clanton grabbed the lead from Brandon Overton on lap 8 and never looked back on his way to the victory, which came by more than six seconds. Shane notched his first WoOLMS victory since Georgia-Florida Speedweeks, topping Chub Frank, Chase Junghans, Frank Heckenast Jr., and Tim McCreadie.

On Saturday night Shane traveled with the World of Outlaws Late Models as they made the journey to Canada for a night racing at Brighton Speedway (Brighton, Ontario). With thirty-two Late Models on hand for the Mud Slinger 50, Clanton started his night by setting a new track record in qualifying. He then captured a heat win, transferring him into the feature event. Battling for the $10,000 payday, Shane was in contention for the lead throughout the 50 lap finale. Working their way through lap traffic, Clanton and Josh Richards battled side-by-side for the lead during the closing laps of the event. At the finish line Clanton came up just short as he recorded a 2nd place finish behind Richards. Tim McCreadie, Morgan Bagley and Rick Eckert completed the top five.

Sunday's event at Cornwall Motor Speedway (Cornwall, Ontario) fell victim to rain.

“I want to thank Weldbank Energy, Hornburg Oil, Penn Gold Well Services, VP Racing Fuels, Clements Racing Engines, Capital Race Cars, Integra, and all of my great sponsors for their support," said Clanton. “We are having a really great season, and hopefully we can just keep performing at this high level.”
