You said his wins don't mean much because most came against less than stellar competition. That's not true, it's a false statement and that's a fact with no bias whatsoever. If you want to continue thinking his 800 wins don't mean sh!t then fine that's your opinion but I think the majority would disagree with you
Where did I say that????? Please post it???
I don't think I ever said anything of the sort in terms of his wins not meaning much.......in fact , I actually did the math with his ridiculous average of wins per year....for 37 in a row.
Were there a bunch of cupcake wins in there??? sure was.............just like a lot of other drivers.
Don't be blinded by just one number.......his most important numbers are the ones posted a few posts up, to me , that's what's impressive.......and the fact that he still races 37 years later.
So he has a bunch of wins against fields that are clearly outmatched, doesn't take away from his legendary status.
Also doesn't mean that somebody can't bring it up in conversation..........I'm not the first.
I suggest a Werner ladder to climb down off your high horse, they are the best.
Most drivers don't race 800 times in their entire career. To get 800 feature wins, whether it be against 1 car or 100, is down right phenomenal, no matter how you look at it. No other driver in the world that I'm aware of, past, present or most likely future, can say they have done what Billy has. My hats off to a true racing legend.
Regardless of what any of you all say, how you say it, how you intended to say it.. Moyer at 800 wins is downright incredible... regardless of who he ran against, when or where he did it. Comparing today's field of cars and drivers against yester-years field of cars and drivers is a mute point. Apples to Oranges.
We all have a favorite driver or two there are so many great drivers Larry Moore, Jeff Purvis, Buck Simmons, Jack Boggs, Freddie Smith, Ronnie Johnson I could name many more they all have a lot off wins I grew up watching Scott Bloomquist he was my favorite growing up, but looking at the wins I mean the big wins and 800 total wins with an unbias opinion I think Billy Moyer is the best ever hands down there has to be the #1 guy as in all sports and Billy is him period.
If you think any races won in the past are lesser achievement than present, we would not have a hall of fame. He!! we may not even count the races at the first of the season for championships. It would come down to what did you do today and that's ok for some. Your either going to keep track of yesterday or wipe the slate clean after each race. Choose.
All racers run under the same rules and tech availability, they always have. Each year there are advancements, that doesn't mean past accomplishments are less than worthy. Every year there will be someone saying, this is as fast as they get, only to be proven wrong. Billy earned this top spot, because anyone that wanted to beat him for it could have been there. By some peoples criteria, Davenport has one win against a less than stellar field. Who knows what the winner will be after the next race. Less than Stellar fields, has to be a sick joke to discredit someones accomplishments. BTW I like Davenport and believe he earned all his wins this year and it's a great accomplishment and no one should come back 40 years later and say, "Less than stellar field". If someone does, I hope someone stands up and calls them on it.
Well it wont be me in 40 yrs be to old ill have old tymers lol.. and black ford will have more names than billy's wins Lol.
800 wins is really impressive, regardless of how "deep" the competition supposedly is.
There's two dirt late model racers who have accomplished more than any other dirt late model racers. One currently lives in Batesville, AR and the other lives in Mooresburg, TN. The 21 and the 0/18 cars. Billy Moyer and Scott Bloomquist. Those two are THE BEST EVER.... :)
I'm totally wrong,Billy is the best ever...........he may never lose again and may end up at 1000 before it's over.......even against today's weak fields.
Does anyone have a place that one could go look and actually see the races he won each year???
A historical snapshot of his wins year by year maybe???
Thanks in advance.
His website lists the wins per season.

He does list each individual race he ran back through 2006 off his schedule page
