Despite starting deep in the heat race grid Billy passed five cars on his way to a second place finish, which locked him into the sixth starting spot in Saturday night's, 100 lap finale.
In the finale, Billy would quickly begin his march forward and by lap 30 he was into the second spot behind race leader Jesse Stovall. However, a few laps later bad luck would strike as hard contact from Ray Moore would result in front-end damage that brought Billy's night and weekend to a disappointing win.
Moyer comments, "I really think we had a good shot to win that event, but we never got a chance to fully show our hand. This was a real frustrating deal."

Fifty-four Super Late Models entered the event, and via his qualifying effort he started eighth in the third heat race.

Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, Florida) during the 41st Annual DIRTCar Nationals, Billy's day would start with bad luck. He qualified fifth fastest in his group in the day show, which left him one spot short of hitting the invert. On the first lap of the heat Moyer Jr. slipped high on a one-groove track as several cars slipped by. With no passing he would retire to the pits and call it a day.
In the night cap Billy was looking for better luck as 68 cars entered the $10,000-to-win event, which was sanctioned by the UMP DIRTCar Series. However, in time trials Billy would only manage to record the 11th fastest time in his group, which left him starting 11th in his heat race. In the heat Billy passed six cars on his way to a fifth place finish, which didn't earn him a transfer to the feature, but did earn him a front row starting spot for a b-main. As the race went green Billy dropped to the fourth position, but would rebound late in the race to claim the second and final transfer spot to the feature. Via his b-main performance, Billy started 23rd on the feature grid for the 40 lap event. He would advance a few spots as he continued to get experience on the 1/2 mile oval before retiring from the event on lap 33 to a 20th place finish.

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 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.
