Sedalia, MO (May 21st, 2010) - Batesville, Arkansas' Billy Moyer survived repeated attempts from Crane, Missouri's Will Vaught to capture the $3,000 Lucas Oil MLRA win at Sedalia's State Fair Speedway on Friday night, May 21st. Mount Vernon, Iowa's Chad Simpson ran a solid third but it was all Moyer up front at the finish.

Chad Simpson holds down fourth while Phillip's teammate Jeremy Payne occupies the 5th spot.

Heat Race Winners included Chris Simpson, Terry Phillips, Matt Johnson, David Turner, and Billy Moyer.
