Moyer caps Speedweeks with 6th win


Billy Moyer wrapped up Florida Speedway with a record-tying sixth victory in capturing the Alltel DirtCar Nationals finale at Volusia Speedway Park. The 50-year-old Hall of Famer from Batesville, Ark., started outside the front row and outdueled Josh Richards and Chub Frank for a $10,000 victory in the World of Outlaws Late Model Series event. Frank, who started 11th, settled for second with the fourth-starting Richards, who won Thursday's WoO opener, finishing third. Jimmy Owens and Friday night winner Clint Smith rounded out the top five at the D-shaped half-mile track near Daytona. Polesitter Tim McCreadie lost control in turn one on the 40th lap while battling for third and ended up 12th.

Moyer's sixth Florida Speedweeks victory tied Don O'Neal's record set in 2002. O'Neal won four races at East Bay Raceway Park and two at Volusia while Moyer split his victories with three apiece at each track. Both drivers made 11 starts.

Since failing to make the Feb. 5 feature event at East Bay, Moyer was been virtually unstoppable with his victories in nine starts. Even during his non-winning performances, the 2005 WoO champion logged a pair of runner-up finishes and a third-place finish.

Finish:


(1) Billy Moyer,

(2) Chub Frank,

(3) Josh Richards,

(4) Jimmy Owens,

(5) Clint Smith,

(6) Darrell Lanigan,

(7) Darren Miller,

(8) Brian Shirley,

(10) Dan Schlieper,

(11) Eddie Carrier Jr.,

(12) Tim McCreadie,
