Veteran Driver Tops 74-Car Field On Opening Night Of Blockbuster Event At The Dirt Track At Charlotte<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"110713_WFQualifying\"CONCORD, NC \u2013 Billy Moyer of Batesville, Ark., made a spectacular debut at the World of Outlaws World Finals, sweeping fast-time honors in both rounds of Thursday\u2019s Qualifying Night program at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.<\/p>\n

The legendary driver was perfect in his first-ever World Finals appearance, topping an ultra-competitive field of 74 cars that were signed in for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series portion of the huge tripleheader weekend. The event also attracted 55 winged machines for the companion World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series meet and 49 entries for the Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modified action.<\/p>\n

World Finals Qualifying Night featured two rounds of WoO LMS time trials \u2013 the first to line upFriday\u00a0night\u2019s heat races and the second to align\u00a0Saturday\u00a0night\u2019s preliminaries.<\/p>\n

Moyer, 56, turned a lap of 15.413 seconds in Group \u2018A\u2019 during the first round of time trials and bettered that with a circuit of 15.304 seconds in Group \u2018B\u2019 during Round 2. His clockings were the overall fastest of both qualifying legs, giving him the 17th<\/sup>\u00a0and 18th<\/sup>\u00a0WoO LMS fast-time honors of his career.<\/p>\n

The three-time WoO LMS champion also became the third Late Model driver to sweep both qualifying rounds of the seven-year-old World Finals, joining Steve Shaver of Vienna, W.Va. (2007) and Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, Ga. (2010).<\/p>\n

Moyer\u2019s standout performance came in what was surprisingly his first stab at the World Finals. He traveled to Charlotte to compete in the 2009 weekend but headed home without even entering the Qualifying Night program after pulling out of the rescheduled WoO LMS Topless Showdown that preceded that year\u2019s World Finals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came out here last year just as a fan and watched,\u201d said Moyer, who still holds the one-lap track record at The Dirt Track (14.672 seconds on April 18, 2008). \u201cIt was a good show to get to watch all of the classes and the track was good. That kinda made me want to go ahead and come back this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the evening\u2019s large field split for both rounds of qualifying, drivers in Group \u2018A\u2019 competed for starting spots in Heats 1-3\u00a0on Friday\u00a0and\u00a0Saturday\u00a0and those in Group \u2018B\u2019 qualified for positions in Heat 4-6 both nights. Moyer will start from the pole position in\u00a0Friday\u00a0night\u2019s first heat and\u00a0Saturday\u00a0evening\u2019s fourth preliminary.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t been here for a while,\u201d said Moyer, \u201cbut to come back and run as well as we have so far, that\u2019s a good thing for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

WoO LMS regulars Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., and Shane Clanton of Zebulon, Ga., also registered group fast times during Qualifying Night. Lanigan was quickest in Group \u2018B\u2019 during Round 1 with a lap of 15.484 seconds, while Clanton was best in Group \u2018B\u2019 during Round 2 with a circuit of 15.619 seconds.<\/p>\n

Clanton\u2019s strong showing during the second round was a complete turnaround from the problems he experienced earlier in the night. During Round 1 he was 35\u00a0th<\/sup>-fastest out of 37 qualifiers in Group \u2018A\u2019 after hitting a rut and breaking the right-front frame rail on his Kennedy Motorsports car.<\/p>\n

WoO LMS points leader Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., who sits on the cusp of clinching his third career WoO LMS championship, was fourth-fastest in his group during Round 1 and second-fastest in his group during Round 2. He will start\u00a0Friday\u00a0night\u2019s first heat from the outside pole and\u00a0Saturday\u00a0night\u2019s second heat from the pole position.<\/p>\n

The World Finals continue\u00a0on Friday\u00a0and\u00a0Saturday\u00a0(Nov. 8-9), with gates opening at\u00a03 p.m.\u00a0and hot laps scheduled to begin at\u00a04 p.m.\u00a0each day. Each card will include a 50-lap A-Main for the WoO LMS, a 30-lap A-Main for the WoO STP Sprint Car Series and a 40-lap headliner for the Super DIRTcar Series big-block Modifieds.<\/p>\n
