Nightly Results from
Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park... (February 7, 2020) The penultimate event of the 44th Annual 'Winternationals' drew a stout 57 car field to East Bay Raceway Park and the ante was upped for all involved, as a $12,000 winner's check was on the line with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series at the Gibsonton, Florida facility. Devin Moran posted the seventeenth fastest time in Group A during qualifying before driving up to second in his stacked heat race. The Dresden, Ohio driver then started the 50-lap main event from the inside of the fifth row and fought valiantly for another top ten finish, but eventually wound up eleventh in the final rundown at the "Clay by the Bay." (February 6, 2020) A windy day greeted the #9 team today at East Bay Raceway Park and the fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series show of the week at the Gibsonton, Florida oval paid $7,000 to win. Devin Moran qualified eleventh fastest in Group A during the time trial session and once again finished third in heat race action. After rolling off from the inside of the eighth row in the 40-lap feature event, Devin was on the move early and often, as he gained ten positions on his way to an impressive fifth place showing behind only race winner Brandon Sheppard, Josh Richards, Billy Moyer, Jr., and Jimmy Owens! (February 5, 2020) The third round of the 44th edition of the 'Winternationals' at East Bay Raceway Park took place earlier this evening and a $7,000 top prize was up for grabs at the Gibsonton, Florida facility. Devin Moran knocked down the tenth fastest lap in Group A during the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series time trial session and later placed third in his loaded heat race. Devin then started the 40-lap main event from the inside of the seventh row and was able to steer his Longhorn Chassis past six racecars en route to a strong seventh place performance. (February 4, 2020) The "Clay by the Bay" hosted round two of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series 'Winternationals' tonight and another $5,000 to win event was held at the racy 1/3-mile clay oval located just south of Tampa, Florida. Devin Moran, who came into tonight as the LOLMDS point leader, posted the twelfth fastest in Group A during the qualifying session before grabbing the third and final transfer spot through his heat race. After rolling off from the inside of the ninth row in the 30-lapper, Devin was able to scoot past eight competitors during the contest to land a hard-fought ninth place effort.
Nightly Results from
Super Bowl of Racing at Golden Isles... (January 31, 2020) Persistent rain showers at Golden Isles Speedway today has forced the cancellation of the first round of the annual 'Super Bowl of Racing' at the 4/10-mile oval, which is located near Brunswick, Georgia. Tomorrow's action will go on as planned, as the $12,000 to win program set for Saturday now becomes the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series season opener.
Devin Moran and Tye Twarog
Racing Ready to Tackle Lucas Oil Series in 2020 "I am really excited to be driving for Tye (Twarog) again this year and pumped up to get this 2020 season underway at the end of the month at Golden Isles," quoted Moran earlier today via telephone. "We have a pair of new Longhorn racecars ready to roll and Clements Chevy motors to provide the horsepower, so Tye has definitely given us the equipment we need to compete throughout the year on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. I can't thank him and his family enough, along with all of our great sponsors, but we are definitely looking for additional resources to be able to strive for the highest level possible. Right now, it is just me and my brother Wylie working out of Tye's shop in Coshocton, Ohio, so we won't be the most well-funded team out there on tour, but I enjoy being a bit of an underdog." | full story
