Devin Moran Starts
Stint with Double Down Motorsports in Winning Fashion!
(January 21, 2023) Unstable weather conditions
at Volusia Speedway Park has forced World of Outlaws Case Construction
Late Model Series and track officials to cancel tonight's annual
'Sunshine Nationals' finale. This decision comes after working
closely with Meteorologist Wayne Mahar from the Precision Weather
Service and monitoring the local weather over the past 48 hours.

of Outlaws Case Construction Late Model Series qualifying before
picking up a heat race triumph. He then drew the number three
pill prior to the start of the 25-lapper and drove to the front
of the field on the eighth circuit. The "Mailman" then
delivered his second straight victory by leading the rest of the
contest to bag the $8,000 payday over Tim McCreadie, Ricky Thornton,
Jr., Nick Hoffman, and Chris Madden! (Chris

were in action at Senoia Raceway in Senoia, Georgia on November

on transferring into the 50-lap feature after finishing fifth
in his heat race and third in his B-Main. In Saturday's $53,053
to win 'Peach State Classic' headliner, Devin fared much better
by placing second in his stacked heat race to earn the inside
of the third row for the start of the 75-lapper. With the contest
running caution-free, Devin was able to move past a couple of
competitors to land on the podium in third behind only race winner
Ricky Thornton, Jr. and runner-up Hudson O'Neal! Complete results

Moran Pulls Out
of Atomic Speedway After Renegades Series Purse Cut...
(November
6, 2022) The Tye Twarog Racing (TTR) team and driver
Devin Moran made one final appearance together during the 'Jackie
Boggs Memorial' weekend at Atomic Speedway in Alma, Ohio. On Friday
night, November 4, a $4,000 top prize was up for grabs in the
weekend opener. Devin earned Fast Time honors during the qualifying
session and later ran second in the fast dash. At the completion

who was leasing the track, cut the purse substantially before
the program got underway and the #9 team opted to load up instead
of racing for the much lower purse. Complete results from Atomic
Speedway can be accessed online at www.atomicspeedway.net.

(October
17, 2022) On the heels of their 2022 season finale together
in the ‘Dirt Track World Championship’ on October
14-15 at Portsmouth Raceway Park in Portsmouth, Ohio, both Tye
Twarog Racing (TTR) and driver Devin Moran announced today that
they will go their separate ways heading into the off-season and
the upcoming 2023 campaign. The pairing had an exceptional 2022
season together, as they racked up ten (10) feature victories,
forty-two (42) top fives, and sixty (60) top tens in the seventy-eight
(78) events that they entered across the country. Devin won four
different times with the ultra-competitive Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series, while also picking up victories against the World

worth $15,000 - with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series at East
Bay (FL) Raceway Park in February and West Virginia Motor Speedway
in early June. However, his largest payday in 2022 came at the
famed Eldora (OH) Speedway on June 9 in the 2nd edition of the
‘Eldora Million,’ as he came home on the podium in
third to collect a whopping $50,000 in earnings. While the #9
team did not chase any points with a national tour in 2022, they
were awarded the big Gator trophy for being crowned the ‘DIRTcar
Nationals’ Champion for the second straight year at Volusia
(FL) Speedway Park back in February. |
