FAIRBURY, Ill. (June 27) - People often theorize that things will happen three at a time. That's certainly been the case lately for Billy Moyer.
On a night where Moyer once again climbed from outside the front row to claim his fifth overall win of the UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals Tour he also claimed quick time honors as well as a heat race victory. The theme of three doesn't stop there for the Batesville, Ark. legend as it was the third time throughout the first 12 events that Moyer has swept all three parts of the program he's been involved in.
Moyer claimed the win ahead of Frank Heckenast Jr of Orland Park, Ill., who earned his career best finish on the "Hell Tour". Heckenast drew the pole for the 50-lap main event and led through the early parts of the main event but eventually fell to Moyer on lap 14.
Kevin Weaver of Gibson City, Ill., who lead the "Hell Tour" point standings early in the 27-race tour passed Heckenast near the same point as Moyer but Heckenast fought back late to relegate Weaver to a third place finish.
Defending UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals champion Dennis Erb settled for a fourth place finish while current point leader Randy Korte climbed from tenth to finish fifth and retain his overall point lead.
