This week, Bill Mooney, driver of the No. 2 Maaco Auto Painting Millar powered MasterSbilt by JMR, will return to the track after nearly two weeks away due to his most recent roll over.

It’s been nearly two weeks since Bill suffered his second roll over of the 2018 season, when he rolled off the top of turns three and four at the Greenbush Race Park in Greenbush, MN.

With the help of fellow competitors and a hard working crew, Bill was able to return to the track that very night, and pick up the hard charger award, finishing sixth after starting 15th.

Upon further inspection when Bill returned to his shop, the car was too damaged to return to competition without a complete rebuild.

It was a week of extreme highs and lows for Bill Mooney, driver of the No. 2 Erickson Motors Miller powered MasterSbilt by JMR, as a pair of hard charger awards were overshadowed by another pair of misfortunes.

On Thursday night at the Red River Co-Op Speedway, Bill started the week with some good luck for a change, as a draw of 14 at the draw made for a rare bit of luck to begin a race night.

Bill started third in his heat race, and finished second to Ricky Weiss. Another stroke of luck saw Bill redraw the best number he could possibly get, a five redraw put him inside row three for the main event.

The night started out with a bad draw, and failed to improve from there on for Bill Mooney, driver of the No. 2 Weed Man Millar powered MasterSbilt by JMR, as a stack up at the bottom of turn two caused the 2 car to rollover.

It was Midco T.V. night at the River Cities Speedway last Friday night, and things got off to an inauspicious start at the draw window, once again, as he drew the 94 pill. The draw being out off 100, meant Bill knew right away he’d be starting towards the back of his heat race.

The problem was exacerbated by heavy rain that fell in the Grand Forks area thoughout Thursday and early Friday morning, making for a very fast, but narrow track.

Bill started sixth, and improved one spot, running fifth...
