DIRTcar Summer Nationals: Moyer Sails to Second
Straight Win at Kankakee
KANKAKEE, IL (June 17, 2010) - Billy Moyer was his typical "Mr. Smooth" self
on Thursday night at Kankakee County Speedway.
For the second night in a row and the second year in a row at Kankakee, the
Batesville, Ark. driver bested a strong contingent of 47 DIRTcar Late Model
standouts over 40-laps to claim the $5,000 winner's check.
"The car's nice and consistent. Believe it or not, we keep playing with
little things every night", said Moyer. "I'm still tinkering with little
things and it seems like we get a little bit better."
Moyer started 3rd and held his position through the first half of the events
before making a move to steal second from Bloomington, Ill., driver Jason
Feger. Moyer quickly moved in on then leader Frank Heckenast Jr. of Orland
Park, Ill., and disposed of him with 17 circuits remaining.
Feger would follow Moyer past Heckenast with 13 laps to go and charge
towards the front only to settle for second. Heckenast would wind up third
while Jack Sullivan of Greenbriar, Ark., finished fourth and Moweaqua, Ill.
driver Shannon Babb rounded out the top five.
