Billy Moyer Jr. Earns First-Career Gator; Pelican 100 Next

Batesville, Arkansas (02/23/16) – Billy Moyer Jr. powered his Crop Production Services #21jr Victory Chassis/Pro Power Racing Engine Super Late Model to his first-career win at Volusia Speedway Park during last week’s 45th Annual DIRTcar Nationals.

“Words can’t describe how special this win is for me,” said Moyer Jr. in victory lane at the 1/2-mile oval on Monday, February 15. “I’ve always loved this place, but it hasn’t really loved me,” joked the Batesville, Arkansas driver.

“To have my dad here with me just makes it that much more special. I want to thank Crop Production Services, Mesilla Valley Transportation, Karl Performance, and all of my great sponsors for their support.”

Billy Moyer Jr. headed south to Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, Florida) for the opening night of the UMP DIRTcar Nationals on Monday. Drawing forty-four Super Late Models, Billy timed in 2nd in his group, earning him a front row starting spot for his heat. Holding off a late-race charge from Josh Richards, Moyer Jr. captured a heat race victory. Starting on the front row alongside Dennis Erb Jr. for the $7,000-to-win, A-Main, Billy Moyer Jr. took the lead on the first lap and never looked back on his way to his first win of 2016. Dennis Erb Jr., Frank Heckenast Jr., Shane Clanton, and Jared Landers trailed Billy across the finish line.

During the remainder of the week at the speed-plant, Moyer Jr. notched a pair of additional top-ten runs.
