441 SPEEDWAY TO BE A PART OF THE NeSMITH CHEVROLET WRS IN 2012

CARTERSVILLE, GA – 441 Speedway in Dublin, GA will be a part of the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series in 2012, giving the series a solid presence in Central Georgia. Drivers in the Crate Late Model Division at 441 Speedway will compete for both a track point fund and a National point fund that will pay $10,000 to the 2012 Champion and pay back ten spots.

The NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series has a past working relationship with 441 Speedway, as the track hosted a pair of Touring events in 2010 with local driver Ben Faircloth of Swainsboro, GA winning both races.

“There is a good group of very talented drivers in the Central Georgia area that will have a great opportunity to win the $10,000 2012 NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series Championship by competing weekly at 441 Speedway,” NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series Director Roby Helm said. “Several of them have competed with us in NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring events this season and are represented in the Top 50 drivers in the current season point standings.”

Robert Diekemper of Bloomingdale, GA and Brandon Overton of Appling, GA have won NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring events this season. Albert Cosnahan of Stillmore, GA is 14th in the Touring point standings and Bob Robertson of Evans, GA is 17th in the series points chase.

Chesley Dixon of Swainsboro, GA, Ches Chester of Twin City, GA, and Brian Conner of Augusta, GA are also in the Top 50 of the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring point standings this season.

Drivers at 441 Speedway will compete against drivers at other NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series tracks through the country each weekend during a 27-week season from April 6, 2012 through October 7, 2012 through a points system. A competitor’s best 14 weekly point totals will count towards their National point total.

Drivers can compete in multiple races each week with their highest single event point total counting for that week. A driver can also earn up to 100 Weekly Racing Series Bonus Points that will be added to their best 14 week point total. A driver can earn as much as 800 points that represents 14 50-point wins and 100 Weekly Racing Series Bonus Points.

Weekly Racing Series Bonus Points can be earned in two different ways. A driver can earn 25 Weekly Racing Series Bonus Points by competing in four straight events at a single track. A driver can also earn 25 Weekly Racing Series Bonus Points by competing in a NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring event during the Weekly Racing Series season.

The dirt late model race cars in the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series are powered by the economical GM Performance Crate Engines that are built and sealed at the factory to prevent any expensive modifications. There are two engines to choose from, the 400 horsepower aluminum-head 604 engine and the 350 horsepower steel-head 602 engine that gets a 150-pound weight break.
