CHATHAM, La. (June 11) - Polesitter Ray Moore of Haughton, La., picked up another victory at Jones Motor Speedway Saturday night, beating defending series champion Rob Litton of Alexandria, La., in an O'Reilly Southern United Professional Racing tour event. | Slideshow

Moore, who has two unsanctioned victories at the quarter-mile racetrack this season, held a straightaway advantage at the finish to pocket $2,500 and record the 16th series victory of his career.

The front-row starting Litton settled for second, while Ronny Adams of Diana, Texas, ended up third. Jody Prince of Sibley, La., finished fourth and Nicholas Brown of Quitman, La., rounded out the top five finishers with an impressive 18th-to-fifth run.

Current series points leader, Morgan Bagley of Longview, Texas, moved up only one spot from his 7th-starting position for a sixth-place finish, but it was good enough to pad his points lead, upping it to 183 over now second-place Allen Tippen of Minden, La.
