Lil' Racer Car Club was established in 2006 to provide educational, recreational, and entertainment opportunities to the young race fan at West Liberty (IA) Raceway. All kids under the age of 14 are welcome to join and participate in Lil' Racer activities.  Currently the club has over 700 members.   We are a non-profit, volunteer group, working hard to provide great quality fun for the kids.

I have been around racing all of my life. My dad, Bobby Moyer, has raced mainly around the Dubuque area since the early 90's, starting out in the Limited Late Model class and moving up to the Late Model division. I am dating Nick Marolf, driver of the #33 late model. Besides racing, I love to golf, bowl and spend time with family and friends. I also love being around kids, and I believe the Lil' Racer Car Club is a great way to help educate children and get them more involved in the great sport of racing.
