CARTERSVILLE, GA – Two weekly dirt tracks west of the Mississippi River have signed on with the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series for the 2011 season. Malden Speedway in Malden, MO and Batesville Motor Speedway in Batesville, AR have both re-signed for the 2011 season in a region of the country that is seeing a comeback for weekly dirt late model racing.
Malden Speedway returns to the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series after being sanctioned during the 2006 and 2007 seasons. Malden Speedway, located in the southeastern boot heel of Missouri, will compete on Friday nights.
“We’re glad to be back with the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series for our Late Model Division, and we’re looking forward to working with them again in 2011,” Malden Speedway Owner Phil Santie said. “The NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series has created new interest among dirt late model competitors in our area, and we want to be a part of this growth.”
Batesville Motor Speedway returns for its third consecutive season of NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series competition and will also be in action on Friday nights. Batesville Motor Speedway was the first track in Arkansas to bring weekly dirt late model racing back to Arkansas in 2009 after an absence of many years.
That has led to other tracks in this area getting involved with the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series with their weekly dirt late model Divisions and giving their drivers an opportunity to compete for two different point funds.
Malden Speedway and Batesville Motor Speedway join Saturday night weekly tracks Drew County Speedway in Monticello, AR and Centerville Speedway in Centerville, AR to bring the number of tracks west of the Mississippi River to four for the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series.
“The interest in the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series in Arkansas and Missouri is as high as it has ever been with the addition of Malden Speedway and Batesville Motor Speedway to the 2011 NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series line-up of tracks,” NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series Director Roby Helm said. “There are Saturday night tracks between and around Malden Speedway and Batesville Motor Speedway that are taking a serious look at the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series, and more announcements about tracks in this area could be forthcoming.”
The 2011 NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series season begins on April 1 and runs through October 2. A driver’s best finish of the week will count towards their Regional point total, and a driver’s best 14 weekly point counts will count towards their seasonal total along with bonus points for perfect attendance and competition on the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series National Tour.
A driver can earn up to 100 Regional Bonus Points two different ways. A driver can earn 25 Regional Bonus Points for every four weeks of perfect attendance at a NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series track, and 25 Regional Bonus Points for competing in a NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series National Touring event during the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series season.
The NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series dirt late models are powered by the economical GM Performance Crate Engines that are built and sealed at the factory to avoid any expensive modifications. Competitors that compete in the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series will be eligible to compete for a track point fund, and a $5,000-to-win Regional point fund that pays back ten places.
There are two GM Performance Crate Engines available for NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series competitors. The 400 horsepower aluminum-head GM Performance 604 Crate Engine is available for free next day delivery anywhere in the Southeast for $5,295 from NeSmith Chevrolet in Claxton, GA.
The 350 horsepower steel-head GM Performance 602 Crate Engine is available for free next day delivery anywhere in the Southeast for $3,295 from NeSmith Chevrolet in Claxton, GA.

“Weekly dirt tracks are seeing an advantage to sanctioning with the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series for their Late Model Divisions through consistent rules and the enforcement of those rules, plus valuable public relations benefits,” Helm said. “These tracks are working together with consistent rules and that means more cars.”
