Billy Moyer Jr. Scores First-Career World of Outlaws Win

Batesville, Arkansas (08/16/16) – Billy Moyer Jr. accomplished a dream on Saturday night at Winchester Speedway by winning his first-ever, World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series event. The very special feat came aboard his Crop Production Services #21jr Billy Moyer Victory Race Car/ Pro Power Racing Engine Super Late Model.

“I’ve won some really good races, but until tonight I’ve never been able to win one of these national tour races,” said an elated Moyer Jr. in victory lane at the 3/8-mile oval. “It’s been an up-and-down rollercoaster ride this season on the road with the World of Outlaws, but tonight we finally put it altogether. I just can’t thank my team, my sponsors, and all of these awesome fans that allow me to do this. Without any of them I couldn’t be out here living my dreams.”

Making the trip to the East with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series, Billy Moyer Jr. was one of 37 Super Late Models signed in at Delaware International Raceway (Delmar, Delaware) on Thursday night for the Fulton Bank 50 as the tour opened a four-race swing. After laying down the 4th-fastest time in his group, Moyer Jr. spun in his heat race while battling for the lead, which sent him to a B-Main. Storming to a 10-lap B-Main win, Billy earned the 18th-starting spot for the feature. Moving up one position in the 50-lapper, Billy Moyer Jr. logged a 17th-place outing.

The following night brought 39 WoO series followers to Potomac Speedway (Budds Creek, Maryland) for the Gunter’s Honey 50. Transferring the top four out of the heats, Moyer Jr. registered a 6th-place finish, which sent him into the B-Main once again. Needing a 3rd-place finish or better to make the show, Billy streaked to a 10-lap consolation win, giving him the 23rd-starting position for the feature. Working his way through the field ten spots in the 50-lap A-Main, Billy Moyer Jr. posted a 13th-place finish.

The next stop for World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series was at Winchester Speedway (Winchester, Virginia) on Saturday night for the $10,000-to-win A-Main. After registering the 4th-fastest time in his group, Billy placed 2nd in his heat behind Josh Richards. Via the feature redraw he received the 2nd position on the starting grid for the main event. Jumping into the lead on the opening lap, Billy Moyer Jr. stormed to his first career World of Outlaws victory, leading every lap of the 50-lap A-Main. He was followed across the finish line by Jason Covert, Shane Clanton, Josh Richards, and Dale Hollidge. Saturday night's win marked Billy's seventh win of the season.

Closing out the four-day stint with the WoO series, Moyer Jr. stopped at Eriez Speedway (Erie, Pennsylvania) on Sunday evening. Falling one position short of a transfer spot into the feature with a 5th-place outing in his heat, Billy cruised to B-Main victory earning him the 17th-starting spot for the feature. Passing three cars in the 50-lapper, Billy Moyer Jr. registered a 14th-place finish.

Billy resides in seventh in the latest WoO points standings and continues to lead the rookie of the year standings with the tour. For full results from these events as well as the latest series standings, please visit www.WoOLMS.com .

Scoring his 12th victory of the season, Dustin outdueled Brad Seng, Mike Balcean, Shane Edginton, and Mike Martin in the main event.
