Moyer Outduels Manville for Second Win of 2014 DIRTcar Summer Nationals
By Jordan Morris
PONTOON BEACH, Ill. - June 20, 2014 - Billy Moyer fought hard to score his second win of the 2014 DIRTcar Summer Nationals season, overtaking Tim Manville on lap 30 en route to capturing the $10,000 checkered flag Friday night at Tri-City Speedway.
Moyer, who started from the pole, had trouble holding the lead early. Manville, who started on the outside of row one, drove into the lead on lap two and looked to be the one to beat for the majority of the 50-lap feature event.
As the race progressed, Moyer found traction on the inside of the race track, using that line to propel himself to the lead, passing Manville on lap 30. Manville continued to slip back as Moyer sailed away from the field, leading the final 20 laps and capturing the victory at Tri-City Speedway. Moyer's son, Billy Moyer Jr., managed to pass Manville for second position completing the Moyer sweep of the top two positions.
Moyer's victory returns him to atop the series all-time wins list, tied with Shannon Babb at 84, in what is shaping up to be a season-long battle for the top spot.

Brandon Sheppard, Brian Birkhofer and Shannon Babb rounded out the top five.
Heat race winners included Tim Manville, Billy Moyer Jr., Brandon Sheppard and Billy Moyer.
The DIRTcar Summer Nationals continues on Saturday night at Fairbury Speedway in Fairbury, Ill.

Harrison Returns to DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals Victory Lane at Tri-City Speedway
By Jordan Morris
PONTOON BEACH, Ill. - June 20, 2014 - Mike Harrison ended a winless drought that stretched back to the 2013 season on Friday night, capturing the $1,000 checkered flag at Tri-City Speedway.
Harrison, the defending DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals champion, fought his way to the front following a poor finish in heat two. Dean Hoffman, the pole-sitter, charges out to the lead on lap one and dominated the first half of the 25-lap main event.
Hoffman's car began to fade around lap 10, allowing Harrison and Michael Long to close to his back-bumper. Harrison was able to complete the pass for the lead on lap 11, as he quickly separated himself from the rest of the field. Long was able to complete the pass on Hoffman, but Harrison had already pulled away to an insurmountable lead.
Harrison claimed the victory over Long by more than four seconds as he dominated the second half of the race, leading 14 laps en route to capturing his first victory of the season.

Hoffman, Rusty Griffaw and Levi Kissinger rounded out the top five.
Heat race winners included Hoffman, Ray Walsh, Brent Mullins and Rusty Griffaw.
The DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals continues on Saturday night at Fairbury Speedway in Fairbury, Ill.
