Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri that made up the annual
'Ron Jenkins Memorial.' Making his debut with Keith Lawson Motorsports,
Billy Moyer won his heat race on Friday night prior to finishing
an impressive runner-up in the 30-lap feature behind only $7,000
winner Chris Simpson. On Saturday evening with a $12,000 top prize
up for grabs, Billy placed fourth in his heat race and nineteenth
in the 40-lapper.
The triple shot then wrapped up on Sunday with a stop
to Moberly Motorsports Park in Moberly, Missouri. A $10,000 first
place prize was up for grabs in the annual running of the 'Wiener
Nationals.' Billy laid down the quickest lap in Group A during the
qualifying session before securing a heat race triumph. The National
Dirt Late Model Hall of Famer then led 11 laps from the pole position
before landing on the podium in third behind only victor Chad Simpson
and runner-up Dillon McCowan. Full results from the MLRA holiday
