Pierce Adds to His Summer Nationals Points Lead<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"0tricity-062416-1038\"PONTOON BEACH, Ill. \u2013 June 24, 2016 \u2013 Friday night\u2019s Summer Nationals feature at Tri-City Speedway played out very similarly to Cedar Lake as Billy Moyer and Bobby Pierce battled it out for the win. This time though the young gun, Pierce, got the better of the veteran, Moyer, to score his fourth Summer Nationals victory of the season.<\/p>\n

The two drivers started on the feature front row together and battled side-by-side through the opening laps. Pierce made his move for the lead on lap 10 and took it from the Hall of Famer. Pierce built up a strong lead through the remaining laps as Moyer worked to run him down, but, in the end, Moyer couldn\u2019t catch the 19-year-old Pierce.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, just growing up and watching Billy like that, I\u2019ve always kind of wanted this race. You know, me and him \u2013 kind of just a duel match between me and him,\u201d Pierce said. \u201cWhen we drew the front row together, I was like, \u2018all right, this could be my chance to race Billy, just me and and him,\u2019 and hopefully try to beat him.\u201d<\/p>\n

With his $10,000 feature win, Pierce continues to add to his series points lead and Heartland Tour weekly championship lead.<\/p>\n

Ryan Unzicker, Chris Simpson and Brandon Sheppard rounded out the top five at Tri-City.<\/p>\n

The DIRTcar Summer Nationals returns to action on Saturday at Fairbury (Ill.) American Legion Speedway.<\/p>\n
