TAMPA, FL -February 11, 2011 \u2013 Billy Moyer of Batesville, AR scored his career leading 21st win at East Bay Raceway Park on Friday Afternoon capturing the 30-Lap $5000 to win feature event. \"\"<\/a>The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series sanctioned-event was a make-up from Monday Night\u2019s rainout during the 35th Annual DART Winternationals Presented by Magnaflow Exhaust. Moyer\u2019s 742nd win of his Hall of Fame career completed the day\u2019s sweep for him as he set fast time and won his heat race. Trailing Moyer to the finish line were Don O\u2019Neal of Martinsville, IN, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN, 20th starting Wendell Wallace of Batesville, AR and 17th starting Bub McCool of Vicksburg, MS.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to always win here at East Bay, we\u2019ve been helping our drivers this week that drive our cars and this is the first time we\u2019ve raced this week, and to get victory win number 21 here for car 21 it\u2019s awesome,\u201d said the 53-year-old Moyer, who capture 24 main events a year ago. \u201cTo draw an early number today, I didn\u2019t think would be that good, but were able to get fast time and win the heat, I was babying the car there for most of the race to conserve the tires and fortunately we were able to pull it off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moyer also thanked his crew and sponsors that include crew chief Steve Norris. \u201cSteve and the guys always do a great job, and I have to thank all of great sponsors and product people, Banner Valley Hauling, Henderson Motorsports, Cooley Transport, Sunoco, Watters Auto Land, Clements Engines and everyone else that contributes to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moyer grabbed the lead at the start with Frank Heckenast Jr. in the second spot. Moyer was unable to build more than a two-three car length lead over Heckenast in the early going as Donnie Moran made his way around Don O\u2019Neal for third on lap four.<\/p>\n

Moyer would gain a six-car length advantage by the halfway mark over Heckenast, Moran, O\u2019Neal and the opening night winner, Scott Bloomquist. A caution at the halfway mark would slow Moyer\u2019s only momentarily. Moran\u2019s day would end on lap 19 after a solid effort as his right rear tire went flat.<\/p>\n

Moyer would then pull away from Heckenast on the restart as Heckenast would start to fade with tire wear. O\u2019Neal would then move into second, but Moyer\u2019s lead was big enough that he was unable to run him down at the end. Bloomquist settled for third just ahead of the hard charger of the race Wendell Wallace, who stormed through the field from his 20th starting spot for fourth.<\/p>\n

In preliminary action Moyer was the fast qualifier for the4 day in the Red Bick Cigar Time Trials with a lap of 14.609 seconds. Heat races were won by Moyer, Don O\u2019Neal, Donnie Moran, Frank Heckenast, Jr., Eddie Carrier, Jr. and Austin Hubbard. The B-mains were taken by Billy Moyer Jr. and Wendell Wallace.<\/p>\n
