WEST LIBERTY, Iowa (June 14, 2020) – Day two of the Lucas Oil MLRA Late Model tour of Eastern Iowa had only one leader, that was Billy Moyer Sr. Moyer led every lap of the 30-lap A-Main and pocketed a check for $5,000.

Moyer started on the pole and sped out to the early lead. Tyler Bruening was running second with Brian Birkhofer third. Just after halfway, the pace of the race started taking a toll. Several caution flags flew over a five lap period, most were due to flat tires.

After the restarts, Moyer cruised to the victory followed by Tyler Bruening. Tony Jackson Jr., Tony Toste, and Mitch McGrath completed the top five. Moyer, Bruening, Birkhofer, and Bobby Pierce won the late model heat races. Will Vaught and Payton Looney won the B-Mains.

 

Cayden Carter topped the Modified field and won the $1,000 prize. Carter followed pole sitter Terry Rentfro for the first seven laps of the feature. On lap eight, Carter moved into the lead and never looked back. Rentfro held on for a second place finish. Kurt Kile charged to a third place result. Denny Eckrich and Jarrett Brown rounded out the top five.

 

The SportMod feature saw Tim Plummer dominate the main. Plummer led flag to flag for the victory. Brayton Carter worked his way through the field, but had to settle for second. Ryan Walker drove to third place with Colton Livezey fourth, and James Roose fifth.

 

The American Iron Racing Series cars were also racing Sunday. Robin Atkins blistered the field for the win. Bart Miller rallied late and came away with second. Bruce Yoerger finished third, followed by Scott Fridley and Dan Kessler.
