KNOXVILLE, Iowa (October 1) - Billy Moyer of Batesville, Arkansas repeated his 25-lap feature event win of twenty-four hours earlier as he again appeared in victory lane here Friday night in the 7th Annual Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals.

The crux of the Thursday and Friday qualifying events is to accumulate as many points as possible in which to gain a top starting spot in the finale on Saturday. Therefore most drivers race Friday night hoping to better their point totals of Thursday. That is exactly what Moyer did as he moved from a sixth spot in the point totals on Thursday to tie Scott Bloomquist with 488 markers. Bloomquist's faster time trial on Thursday was the tie breaker meaning that he would get the nod to start on the pole of Saturday's championship race while Moyer would gain the spot right beside him.

Friday's 25 lapper found race rookie Will Vaught out front early from his pole position start. Disaster came early for him when he struck the front stretch wall on lap three with a glancing blow and brought out the yellow when he stopped on the backstretch. He had a flat right front tire.

Josh Richard pick up the pace on the restart and the race would never go yellow again to the finish. Right behind him was Kelly Boen who had a determined race-long battle with Darrell Lanigan. Both drivers would suddenly give way that runner-up spot to Moyer on the sixth go around.

Both leader Richards and second place Moyer utilized this early portion of the race to try several different lines to test their swiftness. At lap ten Richards could claim a fifteen car-length lead.

For those in the grandstand who were watching the front, they were missing the marvelous run of fifteenth starter Tim McCreadie. Though most drivers found the bottom to be fastest, McCreadie was on the high cushion and moving forward. By lap thirteen he had moved into the fifth position and four laps later he made a pass of Lanigan to gain fourth.

With five laps to go, Richard's lead had shrunk to six car lengths in lap traffic. The top three contenders, Richards, Moyer and Boen were all on the bottom as it was fastest. Coming to lap traffic in turn three of the 22nd circuit, Richards went high to pass while Moyer dove below him. At the line Moyer could claim the lap. Boen also made a pass of Richards on the next go around.

Moyer led the remaining laps to claim the $7,000 win, his 23rd of the season. Boen claimed second and $4,000 and Richards settled for the $3,000 third place check. Completing the top five were Lanigan for fourth, as he made a late race pass of fifth place McCreadie. Completing the top ten were Brian Birkhofer, Dan Schlieper, Steve Francis, Darren Miller and event rookie Austin Hubbard who took passing honors from 22nd to finish 10th.
