CARTERSVILLE, GA – The halfway point of the 2012 NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series has arrived with Week 14 competition at 13 different tracks in four different states.

Trosclair has a 41-point lead in the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series points chase over Brent Barrett of Cleveland, MS.
