Billy Moyer
Jr. Tops COMP Cams Super Dirt Series at Thunderbird Speedway
MUSKOGEE, OK. (May 6, 2011) - The COMP Cams Super
Dirt Series broke into new territory on Friday night as they sanctioned
their first ever event at the 1/2 mile oval at Thunderbird Speedway
(Muskogee, Oklahoma), and it would prove to be a debut that would soon not
be forgotten, as Billy Moyer Jr. claimed the $2,000 win.
Bill Frye charged from the back row of the Woodco,
Inc. third heat race to claim the heat win and along the way earned the most
points in heat race action to lock into the JFR Graphics Pole starting
position for the 25 lap feature with Friday night's winner, Kelly Boen lined
up to his outside. As the race went green it was Boen at the point with
Frye, Billy Moyer Jr., and Dane Dacus in tow.
Boen would pace the event on the cushion for the
first 20 laps, but as the field entered turn one with five laps remaining,
Dane Dacus pulled even with Boen. As the pair entered the corner they would
make contact resulting in both drivers crashing hard into the turn one wall
resulting in heavy damage to both cars. A brief altercation would take place
between the two drivers in turn one before being separated.
After a lengthy red flag the field prepared to go
back to green with Bill Frye the leader followed by Kyle Beard and Billy
Moyer Jr. Frye would lead the next couple of laps before Moyer Jr. used the
low groove to pass Frye for the lead on lap 23, and Moyer Jr., who was the
2009 tour champion, went on to lead the closing laps to claim the win over
Frye, Beard, Jon Mitchell, and Jon Kirby.
The Rocket Chassis First Heat was won by Justin
Asplin with Billy Moyer Jr. winning the RacingJunk.com Second Heat Race, and
Bill Frye winning the Woodco Inc. Third Heat Race.
The Boston's Sports Bar & Restaurants b-main was won
by Johnny Virden
CCSDS provisionals were utilized by Austin Rettig and
Dewaine Hottinger, while Show Me Late Model Series provisional was awarded
to.
Austin Rettig was the recipient of the Quarter Master
Hard Luck Award after having the front end break in the feature.
The Larry Shaw Race Cars Hard Charger Award went to
Jack Sullivan, who advanced from his sixteenth starting spot to record a
sixth place finish for the second night in a row.
