Drawing a stout field of 56 Castrol FloRacing Night in America mini-series entries, Myles’s seventh-place finish in his heat relegated him into the B-Main for another shot at the opening night feature. Transferring the top-three, Moos retired in the fifth circuit.
For another $22,022-to-win A-Main on Thursday at Lincoln Speedway (Lincoln, Ill.), Moos jumped up one spot in his heat race to finish seventh. Needing a third-place finish or better in his B-Main to make the show, Myles fell short with a seventh-place outing.
On Friday evening at Farmer City Raceway (Farmer City, Ill.) for the MARS Racing Series-sanctioned Farmer City 74 presented by Douglas Dodge, Myles laid down the eighth-fastest time in his group before placing third in his heat race. Earning the 15th-starting position for the $15,000-to-win A-Main, Moos clawed forward one spot in the 50-lap affair to finish 14th.
To wrap up the inaugural Illinois Speedweek, Moos headed to Fairbury Speedway (Fairbury, Ill.) on Saturday afternoon for the Titan Industries FALS Spring Shootout. With 50 Late Models amassed, Myles followed up a fourth-place finish in his heat with a consolation victory. With $30,000 on the line in the feature, Moos was an early retiree from the 60-lapper with 14 circuits remaining. He was credited with an 18th-place outing.
