6.13.12 Brownstown Speedway Results
BROWNSTOWN, IN (June 13, 2012) – Billy Moyer Jr. of Batesville, AR scored his first ever UMP Summernationals and Brownstown Speedway win on Wednesday Night. The 24-year-old second generation driver dominated all 40 laps of the opening night of the 2012 Summernationals earning $5,000 for his win in the 29th Annual Hoosier Dirt Classic.
Moyer Jr. finished well ahead of second place runner, Brian Shirley of Chatham, IL. The winner’s 54-year-old Hall of Fame father, Billy Moyer came home third followed by Terry Casey of New London, WI and Jason Jameson of Lawrenceburg, IN.
Moyer Jr. grabbed the lead at the start of the event which drew 49 entrants to the historic quarter-mile oval. Moyer Jr. was challenged early by his father and Shirley, but he pulled away to just over a straightaway lead during the race which was slowed by four caution flags.
The elder Moyer held the second spot in the running order until lap five when Shirley passed him. Shirley and Moyer then would battle for the remaining 35 laps for the runner-up position behind Moyer Jr. The two would race side-by-side for several laps during the race as Casey would close on both of them near the end of the race to make it a three-car battle for second.
In victory lane Moyer Jr. was extremely excited in taking his first career Summernationals and Brownstown win. “It’s big to win here at Brownstown, people all over talk about Brownstown and its history, I know my dad has won here several times, so it feels good to get one here and our first Summernationals victory as well,” said the driver of the Victory Circle by Moyer Chevrolet.
“The track was real good tonight, when I drew that number one spot I thought I had a real good chance to win tonight, but then I looked over and my dad was on the outside front row with me, and I knew it was going to be important to get out front, I don’t have a lot of laps here, but the car was just terrific tonight and I want to thank Bill Schlieper of Pro Power Racing Engines, the motor ran awesome.”
