Billy Moyer, Jr. sweeps SAS Kentucky Lake doubleheader

By Series PR

The Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series made its first trip to Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway in Calvert City, Ky., for the Kentucky Doubleheader weekend of racing in the Bluegrass state. Billy Moyer, Jr. of Batesville, Ark. picked up his first two career Southern All Star wins by capturing both events and getting a $1,000 bonus, making it a $10,000 weekend for him.

In Friday night action, Moyer, Jr. started fifth and worked his way to the front, battling with pole sitter Ashley Newman and outside pole sitter Riley Hickman all race long.

Hickman took over the top spot from Newman around lap 10 and then held it untill Moyer, Jr. moved around him on a restart. Moyer, Jr. then started to pull away from second and third, but lapped traffic proved to be a problem, as the slower cars allowed Newman to gain on the leader in the closing laps.

Newman moved alongside Moyer, Jr. in the final laps but he could not clear him, as Moyer, Jr. went on to the win. Newman settled for second, Riley Hickman in third, Brandon Kinzer in fourth and fifth to Dylan Ames in fifth.

Eric Cooley, Vic Hill, Tanner English, Jake Knowles of Rome, Ga. and Jeffrey Bailey rounded out the top ten.

On Saturday night, Moyer Jr., put on dominating performance, as he led from the start of the race from his outside front row starting spot along Eric Hickerson. Moyer, Jr. moved out front in turn two and moved away from the field until cautions bunched the field back up.

Hickman and Newman would challenge Moyer, Jr. as the race returned to green, but as the laps wound down, it was Dane Dascus and Dylan Ames moved up to challenge with just a few laps remaining.

In the end, Moyer, Jr. was too strong, as he held on to score his second win in as many nights. Dascus finished in second, with Ames third, Hickman fourth and Newman fifth.

Kevin Cole, Hickerson, Jonathan Rowan, Terry English and Bailey rounded out the top ten.

Up next for the Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series is the King of the Mountain Fall Classic at the Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, TN, on September 19. That will be followed by the 37th Annual Alabama State Championships at the East Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City, AL, on September 24-27.
