CARTERSVILLE, GA – The four-race, three track Salute To America Nationals is next up on Wednesday through Saturday for the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring Division that could pay a single driver $10,000 if they sweep all four races. When looking at the three tracks, two drivers are a common denominator in that they have won series races at all three tracks.
The NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Salute To America Nationals begins on Wednesday night with a 50-lap $2,500-to-win event at East Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City, AL. Penton Raceway in Penton, AL will present the next two nights of racing with a pair of 40-lap $2,000-to-win events on Thursday night and Friday night.
Albany Motor Speedway in Albany, GA will host the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Salute To America Nationals finale on Saturday night with a 50-lap $2,500-to-win race. If a driver can win all four races, that driver will receive a $1,000 bonus to pocket a total of $10,000 for the four nights of racing.
The history of NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series and NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series winners at East Alabama Motor Speedway, Penton Raceway and Albany Motor Speedway shows among active competitors two drivers with wins at all three tracks, and two drivers with wins at two of the three tracks.
William Thomas of Phenix City, AL has eight NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring victories in his career, and seven of those wins have come at either East Alabama Motor Speedway, Penton Raceway, or Albany Motor Speedway. Thomas has three Touring Division wins at both EAMS and Penton Raceway, and a win in April at Albany Motor Speedway.
Larry Harrod of Plains, GA has a NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring Division win at Penton Raceway, and NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series wins at both East Alabama Motor Speedway and Albany Motor Speedway. Harrod is a NeSmith Chevrolet DLMS title contender and is currently fifth in the point standings with one win.
There are two other NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring Division 2012 title contenders that have victories at two of the three tracks.
Two-time NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Champion and current point leader David Earl Gentry of Murfreesboro, TN has Touring Division wins at both Penton Raceway and Albany Motor Speedway, where Gentry took the first of his two wins this season.
The 2011 VP Racing Fuels Rookie of the Year Chase Edge of Lafayette, AL has NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series victories over the past two seasons, as well as this season, at both East Alabama Motor Speedway and Penton Raceway.

Jake Teague of Oliver Springs, TN is currently eighth in the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring Division point standings, and has had July 7 at Albany Motor Speedway circled on his calendar ever since April.
