PEVELY, MO (August 28, 2010) -  Billy Moyer of Batesville, AR sweeps the MARS / UMP Challenge  by winning the feature event at I-55 Raceway in Pevely, MO.  Moyer started the $5,000 to win feature from the sixth position and tracked down race long leader Jeremy Payne of Springfield, MO near the half way point of the forty lap affair.  Once out front Moyer opened up a full straight-away lead over eventual second place finisher Shannon Babb of Mowequa, IL.  Payne would hold on to finish third. 

Former UMP National Champion Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville, IL sat on the pole and finished in fourth.  Brian Shirley of Chatam, IL started in the ninth position and finished in fifth.
