CARTERSVILLE, GA – This Sunday’s 40-lap $2,000-to-win NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring event at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, MS will set the $20,000 Championship table for Dan Breuer of Troutman, NC and two-time series champion David Earl Gentry of Murfreesboro, TN.
The Magnolia Motor Speedway race will be the next-to-last race of the 2011 season for the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Tour. The season finale will be on December 1-3 with the $10,000-to-win 7th Annual World Championship Race at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, FL.
Going into the weekend, Breuer leads Gentry by just six points. The NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series will open the weekend with the $5,000-to-win 6th Annual Coca-Cola Zero 75 on Saturday night at Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, MS. A total of 115 laps of main event racing this weekend will determine who has the advantage going into the last race of the season.
The “Black Ice” racing surface at Magnolia Motor Speedway has historically lent itself to three and four-wide racing for the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series, so Breuer and Gentry will not only have to compete with each other, but also with 40 plus other competitors expected from ten different states.

Gentry only has one Magnolia Motor Speedway appearance with the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Tour, and that resulted in a second-place finish on October 22, 2006. So far this season, Gentry has 1,250 points with one win, eight top five finishes, and 13 top ten finishes in 14 starts.
