May 11th, 2013 - Jr. Motorsports made the trek to northern Illinois over the weekend for a pair of $10,000-to-win, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) races at La Salle Speedway (La Salle, Illinois). Unfortunately inclement weather from the night prior left the 1/4 mile oval extremely wet, and shortly before hot laps on Friday night track crews made the decision to cancel the evening's festivities due to unsafe conditions.
As a result a single program was contested on Saturday night, which drew a field of thirty-eight entries to the facility. Qualifications found Billy registering the fifth fastest time in his group. After starting third in his heat race he missed the transfer spot to the feature by one spot, and was forced to run a b-main. After finishing second in his b-main he locked into the nineteenth starting spot for the 50 lap finale. He would advance a few spots early in the feature before ultimately retiring to a twenty-third place finish.
Moyer Jr. is currently eleventh in the latest LOLMDS standings. Full results from the event and the latest series' standings are available at www.LucasDirt.com.

Action opened on Friday evening at the brand new, Timberline Speedway (Corley, Texas) as a stout field of thirty-eight entries registered for battle at the 3/8 mile oval. Unfortunately the track surface would not be conducive to passing, and after drawing a big number at the pill draw Billy stared fifth in his heat race before advancing to a fourth place finish, which left him short of locking into the feature. He went on to finish second in his b-main to lock into the main event in the twentieth starting spot. With rubbered-up conditions present in the feature Moyer Jr. retired early from the event to save his equipment. He was credited with a 22nd place finish.
Saturday night found the team at the racy confines of Ark-La-Tex Speedway (Vivian, Louisiana) as the pit area was crowded with another great field of forty-four competitors.

The day started rough for Moyer Jr. as he pulled the biggest possible pill, which left him starting last in his heat race. Despite starting ninth, he advanced to a third place finish in his heat, which locked him into the redraw for the feature. In the redraw he would receive the pole position with Morgan Bagley starting to his outside. As the race went green, Bagley jumped to the lead with Moyer Jr. in tow. Five laps later Billy would shoot to the lead, and would maintain the top spot for four laps until Bagley and Tim McCreadie slipped by. Over the remainder of the event Moyer Jr. battled in the top five on what would become a one-lane race track before finishing fourth behind race winner, Bagley, Tim McCreadie, and John Anderson.

January 21st, 2012 - On Saturday afternoon, Billy was again in action in the 6th Annual Wild West Shootout as the fifth round of the event was held with $3,000 on the line. A large number at the pill draw resulted in Moyer Jr. starting deep in his heat race. A one-groove track made passing difficult, and he would fall to advance. His heat finish left him starting at the back of a b-main and with no passing, the team opted to call it an early night. Full results are available at www.USARaceway.net.
January 20th, 2012 - Round #4 of the 6th Annual Wild West Shootout was contested on Friday night.

After not making up much ground in the opening laps of the main event, he would retire to a 23rd place finish. Full results are available at www.USARaceway.net.
January 18th, 2012 - The third night of the 6th Annual Wild West Shootout was held on Wednesday as a lightning fast track greeted the competitors. Billy drew a front row starting spot for his heat race, but he jumped the cushion in the first corner on the first lap causing him to drop several spots. He would rebound a few spots but would still finish deep in the field, which left him starting eighth in a b-main. Despite starting deep in the b-main field, Billy advanced four spots to record a fourth place finish, which earned him the final transfer to the feature as he started 24th on the grid. With the track still fast and heavy, Moyer Jr. tested for a few laps in the feature before retiring to save his equipment. He was credited with a 23rd place finish. Full results are available at www.USARaceway.net.
January 15th, 2012 - Looking to put the bad luck of Saturday behind him that he experienced in the 6th Annual Wild West Shootout opener, Billy took part in a $5,000-to-win event on Sunday afternoon. Sixty-eight cars entered the event, and in heat race action he started fifth before blasting to the lead by the third lap of the event. He would lead a pair of laps before John Anderson drove by on the high side to claim the top spot. Billy would go on to finish second, and via passing points locked into the redraw for the feature.
In the redraw Billy would receive the pole starting spot for the 30 lap affair with John Anderson starting to his outside. As the race went green Anderson grabbed the lead with Moyer Jr. in pursuit. Billy would pull even with Anderson for the lead down the backstretch on lap 10 but could not make the pass stick. A few laps later Tim McCreadie would sneak past Moyer Jr. pushing him back to third. Billy would go on to finish a strong third behind race winner, McCreadie, and Anderson. Full results are available at www.USARaceway.net.
January 14th, 2012 - For the second straight season, Billy opened his 2012 campaign with the annual Wild West Shootout at USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona). He won the opener for the series in 2011 and was looking to repeat in 2012, but his luck would not be so good. With sixty-nine cars entered into the opener for the six race series, Billy received the ninth starting spot for his heat race. In the heat he would advance four spots on his way to a fifth place finish, which left him just short of locking into the feature event. As a result, he was forced to run a b-main, where he started on the front row, alongside Don O'Neal. After a race long battle for the lead, Billy would finish second, which locked him into the 17th starting spot for the feature.
Early in the 30 lap, $3,000-to-win event, Moyer Jr. would work his way forward a few spots before a stack-up on a lap 13 restart saw him make contact with the turn wall. The resulting damage was enough to bring his night to an early end in the 20th position. Full results are available at www.USARaceway.net.

January 5th, 2012 - Billy Moyer Jr. has announced that he will be making the next big step in his young career as he will be taking his #21jr Henderson Motorsports/Car City/Imperial Motors/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Pro Power Racing Engine Super Late Model on the road with the World of Outlaws Super Late Model tour for the 2012 season.
The 24-year-old from Batesville, Arkansas is preparing to embark on his sixth year of racing in 2012, and after toying with the national scene the past few years in select events he has decided to jump in with both feet for the 2012 campaign.
"I've got some great backers behind me, and I feel like I'm as ready as ever to go out and try to tackle a national tour. My biggest weaknesses right now are soft tires and big tracks, and I'm going to put everything I have into improving in both of those areas this year. There's a lot of great rookies out there this year, so the going won't be easy, but I think that we can make a strong run at the WoO Rookie Title," commented Moyer Jr.
October 29th, 2011 - For the second time in as many weeks, Billy found himself making the trip to the Magnolia state for a high-paying event as he took part in the 8th Annual Southern Belle Cotton Pickin' 100. With 66 Super Late Models entered, Moyer Jr. would register the 14th fastest time in qualifications, which left him starting fifth in his heat race. He wouldn't be able to make up any ground in the heat as he finished fifth, which didn't earn him a transfer to the feature, and left him starting fourth in a b-main on Saturday night.
With the top two cars transferring from the b-main to the main event on Saturday night, Moyer Jr. would fail to reach a transfer spot as his weekend came to a disappointing early end. Full weekend results are available at www.MagnoliaDirt.com.
This marked his final event of the 2011 season as he prepares for the 6th Annual Wild West Shootout at USA Raceway (Tucson, Arizona) in January 2012.
