We study the moments of the Dirichlet L-function when defined over the polynomial ring over finite fields. We obtain an asymptotic formula of the fourth moment for the central value of these Dirichlet L-functions. In addition, we find a lower bound for the 2k th moment of these L-functions. These results agree up to constants with the polynomial ring analog of the Keating and Snaith Conjecture for the asymptotic of leading terms.
