Eddie Carrier, Jr. made a clean sweep of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series racing action on Monday night at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL. Carrier set a new track record during Miller Welders Time Trials, won his heat, and led all 25 laps for the victory in his Carl Grover Motorsports/Rocket Ford.
Carrier earned his first career win at East Bay over Devin Moran, Brandon Sheppard, Brian Shirley, and Billy Moyer, Jr.
“If we didn’t win tonight, we may never have another chance like this,” Carrier, Jr. said. “When you set a new track record, win your heat, and lead every lap in the feature, it’s really awesome. It says a lot about our race team. My car owner, Carl Grover and my dad (Eddie Carrier, Sr.) have been so instrumental in my career, I can’t thank them enough. This car has been so good out of the box this year, Rocket Chassis worked real hard at the end of last year on this design and this year it’s been super fast.”
The younger Moran held his own for most of the distance, fighting off challenges from several drivers.
“To run second with this group of drivers says a lot,” said the 19-year-old. “My dad (Donnie) told me to be patient. To out run guys like Billy Moyer, his son, Sheppard, and everybody else here… wow is all I can say.”
After a late caution, Sheppard got things going, passing several cars in the waning laps. He took the Rocket House Car up to the third spot to earn a podium finish.
“We have continued to work on this car every day; it was really good late,” said Sheppard. “We started eighth and worked our way up there. We will come back tomorrow and try to make it even better.”
Completing the top ten were Gregg Satterlee, Billy Moyer, Ray Cook, Jared Landers, and Dennis Erb Jr.
In preliminary action, Carrier, Jr. set the overall Miller Welders Fast Time (Group B) amongst the 44 entrants, with a lap of 13.971 seconds to set a new East Bay Raceway Park track record. Billy Moye,r Jr. set the fastest time in Group A with a time of 14.173 seconds. Devin Moran, Racy Cook, Eddie Carrier Jr. and Billy Moyer won their respective heat races. Jason Hughes and Dustin Mitchell won their respective B-Mains.
