Thunderhill Speedway
MAYETTA, Kans. (May 22) - The warmest night of the summer treated fans to the hottest racing of the summer, as the late models of the Lucas Oil MLRA Series made their first visit to the high banks of Thunder Hill Speedway in over three years and 112 cars jammed the Thunder Hill pit area. Pre race buzz surrounded national dirt late model legend Billy Moyer bringing his famed #21 to the Hill for the first time in the track's 16 year history.

Moyer, who had scored an MLRA win at Sedalia, MO, on Friday night, was able to complete the weekend sweep - but it was far from an easy score. He was joined in Victory Lane by Tom Charles (IMCA Modifieds), Mike Nichols (IMCA Stock Cars), Eddie Schwope, Jr. (IMCA Northern Sportmods), and Waylon Banks (IMCA Hobby Stocks).

Thirty-four MLRA Late Models checked into the Thunder Hill pits, including several past winners at Thunder Hill. When the lineup was set, Chad Simpson, of Mt. Vernon, IA, started on the pole. Simpson used his pole spot to great advantage, as he streaked into an early lead, pursued closely by Terry Phillips, Dave Eckrich, Al Purkey, and several others running in a pack. Meanwhile, eighth-starting Moyer began picking cars off one by one.

For awhile, it looked as if Simpson was simply going to lead from wire to wire. As the leaders moved through lapped traffic, Phillips could get no closer than four car lengths from Simpson's bumper. Moyer, in third, was following in Phillips' tire tracks, but didn't appear to have the speed to advance further. A late-race sequence of yellows, however, changed the complexion of the race. On the first restart, Moyer quickly dispatched Phillips and in another couple of laps made a high-side pass on Simpson. Two more late yellows allowed Simpson shots at regaining his lead, but he could get no farther than the door of the Batesville veteran's machine. At the finish, it was Moyer followed by Simpson, Phillips and John Anderson.
