MOYER MOTORS TO STARS WIN AT FLORENCE!!!

Union,KY 8-27-99

 Billy Moyer of Batesville,AR scored his first STARS National DirtCar
Racing League sanctioned victory of the season Friday pocketing the $10,000
to win "STARS North-South 50" at Florence Speedway in Union,KY. Driving the
J&J Steel/Burroughs Diesel/Petroff Towing/MasterSbilt Chassis/Clements
Racing Engines No. 21 Moyer Racing Pontiac Grand Prix, Moyer jumped into
the lead at the drop of the green flag from his pole starting spot and led
all the way to take the win. Outside pole sitter Mike Balzano rode home
second ahead of seventh starting Scott Bloomquist,
Don O'Neal and Darrel Lanigan. Rounding out the top ten were fourteenth
starting Chub Frank, twentieth starting Rick Eckert, nineteenth starting
Donnie Moran, Steve Shaver and Dale McDowell.

 At the drop of the green flag Moyer bolted into the lead with Balzano, Bob
Pierce, O'Neal and Lanigan trailing at the end of the first lap. Bloomquist
took fifth from Lanigan on lap 4 and then took fourth from O'Neal on lap 6
only to have O'Neal return the favor one lap later. Before lap 9 could be
completed Gary Stuhler and R.J. Conley tangled in turn four bringing out
the first of five caution periods. Moyer pulled out to a four car length
margin on the restart with Balzano and Pierce riding behind the leader.
Bloomquist snatched fourth back from O'Neal on lap 11 with O'Neal regaining
the spot on lap 13 but Bloomquist came back to take the spot on lap 18. By
the halfway point Moyer enjoyed a three car length lead over Balzano
followed by Pierce, Bloomquist and O'Neal then Lanigan, Shaver, Frank and
McDowell. Moyer entered lapped traffic on lap 26 allowing Balzano to close
to within a car length of the leader. Pierce's great run ended on lap 39
when his ignition shut off forcing a caution and dropping Pierce from the
race. One lap after going back to green Aukland lost the handle in turn
four slowing the pace. Four more laps were completed before the yellow
waved again this time for Bart Hartman who pulled up with damaged steering.
On the restart Bill Frye and Conley spun in turn four slowing the pace
again. With six laps to go and no lapped traffic seperating the top three
Moyer, Balzano and Bloomquist raced off of turn four three wide bringing
the capacity crowd to their feet. Moyer held off the charge and pulled out
to a car length margin at the finish with Balzano a car length in front of
Bloomquist.

 The $40,000 purse drew 81 drivers to Jerry and Mona King's semi-banked 1/2
mile track with Lanigan topping the field in time trials with a quick lap
of 17.846 seconds. BORLA EXHAUST heat race wins went Bloomquist, O'Neal,
Shaver, Steve Francis, McDowell and Wendell Wallace. Moyer grabbed the ISKY
RACING CAMS dash while Moran, Eckert and Marshall Green copped the triple
PRO SHOCKS "B" Mains. As an added bonus, the King's held and unsanctioned
$5,000 to win - 20 lap event for the top five STARS point drivers, top five
Hav-A-Tampa point drivers, five fast qualifiers and five Florence Speedway
drivers. Starting from the pole, Bloomquist led all the way to take the win
in the "North-South Shootout" with Balzano second ahead of O'Neal, Moyer
and Shaver.
