Billy Moyer, Jr. sweeps UMP Summer Nationals events at Cedar Lake!
New Richmond, Wis. – June 16, 2012 – Everyone on the DIRTcar Summer Nationals tour knows now that Billy Moyer Jr. isn’t messing around after the 25-year-old driver won the 50-lap Cedar Lake Speedway finale on Saturday night worth $10,000 and increased his win percentage on tour to 75% in the process.
Moyer grabbed the lead on the opening lap and wouldn’t relinquish the top spot over the course of the main event withstanding a late run by Solon Springs, Wis., driver Brady Smith that saw Smith make multiple attempts at Moyer Jr. with less than 15 laps remaining. Smith would settle for the runner-up spot and 3-time Summer Nationals Champion Shannon Babb finished third. Pole sitter Jason McBride of Carbondale, Ill., finished fourth and Chatham, Ill., driver Brian Shirley rounded out the top five.
