The 4th place finish was Billy's first top five finish of the season on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in 2008. Billy has now moved up to 9th place in the series national points standings.
"It was a good run for us to finally get a decent finish. We've run good at most places just suffered bad luck and got caught up in other people's wrecks a lot this year. Our Mastersbilt chassis worked really well tonight and it was a good solid run for our team, sponsors and my crew that has been working hard this year. Hopefully we can continue to get more top fives and get a win on the series soon", stated Billy.
