Billy Moyer Jr. Wins Again in COMP Cams MSRA Action At Riverside

West Memphis, Arkansas (04/10/10) – In 2009, Billy Moyer Jr. picked up his first ever special event win at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Arkansas, and on Saturday night he returned to the scene of the crime and made a repeat performance in COMP Cams MSRA Super Late Model action.

Twenty-five Super Late Models, representing five states, were on hand on Saturday night at Riverside International Speedway, where a great racing surface greeted the competitors. Joey Mack from Benton, Missouri powered his #97m Rocket Chassis to a heat race win and along the way accumulated the most passing points to earn the JFR Graphics Pole Position for the $2,000 to win, 40 lap feature. East Prairie, Missouri driver, Jeff Sloan joined Mack on the front row.

As the green flag flew Mack bolted to the lead with Jeff Floyd, Billy Moyer Jr., Jamie Dacus, and Sloan in tow. The first caution flag of the event would fly on lap 3 as Dewaine Hottinger slowed with a flat tire after contact with another competitor. At the time of the caution the top five running order consisted of Mack, Floyd, Moyer Jr., Dacus, and Sloan.
On the ensuing restart, Moyer Jr. would move past Floyd for the second spot as he set his sights on the leader. Three laps later, Moyer Jr. would pull even with Mack for the top spot and would finally take the lead exiting turn four on the sixth circuit. As Moyer Jr. took possession of the top spot, Mack and Floyd began battling side by side for the second spot, and by lap 9, Floyd would make the runner-up position his own.

The leaders would encounter lapped traffic by lap 10, which allowed Floyd to close in on Moyer Jr. Moyer Jr. would narrowly avoid disaster exiting turn four on lap 11, when he attempted to lap Jon Kirby on the lowside as Kirby tried to turn into the infield. After minimal contact Moyer Jr. would recover, but not before Jeff Floyd raced past him for the lead. The top duo would continue to navigate heavy traffic, and on lap 16 Moyer Jr. would find his way back to the lead as Floyd slipped to the second spot with Dacus and Mack battling for the third spot.

The race would continue to endure a long green flag run until Cody Caldwell brought out the caution on lap 25. As the field prepared for what would be the final restart, the top five running order consisted of Moyer Jr., Floyd, Dacus, Mack, and Jon Mitchell. On the restart, Floyd’s hopes for victory would go up in smoke as the powerplant expired in his entry sending him to the infield. With Floyd pitside, Dacus moved up to second, but Moyer Jr. had already begun to drive away from the field. With Moyer Jr. enjoying a comfortable lead, a man on the move was 16th starting Kyle Beard, who was up to the 6th position by lap 30. Over the next few laps he would get to the 4th position.

The remainder of the event would go caution free with Billy Moyer Jr. picking up his second win of the weekend, and fourth career COMP Cams MSRA Super Late Model win. Jamie Dacus, Joey Mack, Kyle Beard, and Austin Rettig rounded out the top five finishers.

Heat races were won by Joey Mack, Jeff Sloan, Billy James, and Jeff Floyd. Cody Caldwell and Kyle Beard topped the twin b-mains.

Kyle Beard was the Larry Shaw Race Cars Hard Charger after advancing from his 16th starting spot to an 4th place finish.

The Quartermaster Hard Luck Award went to Jeff Floyd, who saw his chances of victory go up in smoke when his motor expired on lap 27.

The COMP Cams Top Performer was Billy Moyer Jr.
