Story By: BEN SHELTON / COMP CAMS SUPER DIRT SERIES – COLCORD, OK – It was an all Moyer affair throughout Friday night’s COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Model Green Country 50 at Oklahoma’s Arrowhead Speedway with Billy Moyer Jr. fending off multiple charges from dear old dad to pick up the $5,000 victory.
“We’ve been close a lot, been consistent,” winner Billy Moyer Jr. said in FloRacing Victory Lane. “The car was really, really good right there. You know, hate it for the fans that it wasn’t a super racy track, but I promise you it wasn’t easy. I was trying to hit my marks and keep going.”
Moyer Jr. made a clean sweep of the night by setting fast-time in Mark Martin Automotive Qualifying before winning his heat race to earn the outside front row starting spot alongside his dad Billy Moyer who was NewVisionCustomShirts.com Pole Award for the 40-lap finale.
Moyer Jr. jumped to the lead and survived a bevy of challenges from his dad after caution flags to pick up his first CCSDS win of 2023 and the 20th series’ triumph of his career.
The elder Moyer flashed across the finish line in second with Cole Wells, Kip Hughes, and Logan Martin completing the Top-5 finishers.
Unfortunately, the tour’s scheduled Saturday night debut at Caney (Kan.) Valley Speedway has been postponed by heavy rain at the facility. Track and series officials are evaluating potential reschedule dates for the James House Memorial.
The COMP Cams Super Dirt Series now turns its attention to three nights of racing at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Ark.) on August 17 – 19. The weekend begins with a make-up from the July 29 program that was preempted by heavy rain, which arrived just before the B-Mains were set to roll.
The B-Mains and $5,000-to-win feature will be held at Mooney Starr’s 3/8-mile oval on Thursday, August 17 and then an optional open practice session will be held afterwards as the 31st annual COMP Cams Topless 100 presented by Nutrien Ag Solutions weekend kicks into high gear.
Friday and Saturday’s programs are co-sanctioned with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) with a $5,000 winner’s check on the line the first night followed by a $50,000-to-win finale on Saturday.
