BATESVILLE, Ark. (July 15) - Billy Moyer Jr. will invade Batesville Motor Speedway in Locust Grove, Arkansas this weekend for a pair of MSRA/DLRA Super Late Model Series Challenge events in his #21jr Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Runion Racing Engine Super Late Model.
This weekend will mark the first official event that Moyer Jr. will get to race at his home track in 2008. Several events have been nixed by Mother Nature at the 3/8 mile, red clay oval, thus far into 2008, including an AMP Late Model Series event that was rained out shortly after hot laps.
In reference to getting to compete a few miles from the house, Moyer Jr. comments, "After so much time on the road, it will be REALLY nice to sleep in my own bed both nights this weekend, while also running a track that I have experience on."
The weekend will get underway on Friday night with a $2,000 to win/$350 to start, 30 lap event that will be co-sanctioned by the O'Reilly MSRA Super Late Models and the Allstate DLRA Super Late Models. This will mark the first ever meeting between the two tours.
On Saturday night, the ante will increase as a $3,000 to win/$450 to start, 40 lap event will be held. Once again the event, will be co-sanctioned by the O'Reilly MSRA Super Late Models and the Allstate DLRA Super Late Models.

Last weekend, Billy entered a pair of O'Reilly MSRA Super Late Model events in the state of Arkansas. Action blasted off on Friday night at Poinsett County Raceway in Harrisburg, Arkansas. He started 10th in the feature event and at the conclusion of the 30 lap, caution free event, he finished in the 9th position.
Jr. Motorsports was in action at Arkansas Motor Speedway in Nashville, Arkansas on Saturday night with the O'Reilly MSRA Super Late Models. Billy started 4th in his heat, and was battling for the second spot, when a car got sideways in front of him causing him to check up fall to the back. He would fight his way back to a 3rd place finish, which would result in him starting 9th in the feature event. Moyer Jr. was battling for the 7th position early in the feature when another car made contact with him, causing his left rear tire to go flat. Billy went to the back of the pack and charged back to a 6th place finish.
Via his two top ten finishes, Billy moved into the 4th position in the current O'Reilly MSRA Super Late Model point standings.
