What won the race: Charging ahead out of turns one and two to assume the point on the opening lap, third-starting Billy Moyer of Batesville, Ark., dominated the entire 30-lap distance, outrunning Joe Godsey of Bedford, Ind., to win the opening round of Australia's USA Tour.

Quotable: "The track is awesome," Moyer said. "Big corners, wide. You can't ask for much more. It's pretty top-side dominant. It's just faster up by the wall there. ... Night one down. We'll keep swinging here. In the second heat we wasn't where we needed to be. I'm learning this car and I'm going to make some mistakes as we go here. But Keith (Berner) and I made some adjustments and turned it around for the main event where it counted."

Key notes: Wednesday's event marked Moyer's first-ever feature start in Australia and his 863 career victory. ... Moyer piloted a Paul Stubber-owned entry. ... Along with Moyer and Godsey, other United States drivers making the trip Down Under include fifth-place finisher Tyler Erb of New Waverly, Texas, and Jeff Roth of Bentonville, Ark. ... Programs feature two rounds of preliminary action. Erb was the only driver to win both of his heat races. ... The USA Tour continues on Jan. 12 with another event at Perth Motorplex.
