CARTERSVILLE, GA – There are 12 races in eight different states on the NeSmith Chevrolet Old Man’s Garage Weekly Racing Series Week 11 schedule of events. After taking a week of competition off, teammates Michael Arnold of Hattiesburg, MS and Noah Daspit of Kiln, MS will be resuming their battle for the point lead.

NeSmith Chevrolet Old Man’s Garage Weekly Racing Series Week 11 competition begins on Friday night with races at Batesville Motor Speedway in Batesville, AR and Hattiesburg Motorsports Park in Hattiesburg, MS.

Saturday night NeSmith Chevrolet Old Man’s Garage Weekly Racing Series Week 11 races will be held at Battleground Speedway in Highlands, TX, Clayhill Motorsports in Atwood, TN, East Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City, AL, Greenville Speedway in Greenville, MS, Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, MS, St. Tammany Raceway in Lacombe, LA, Southern Raceway in Milton, FL, Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, AL, West Plains Motor Speedway in West Plains, MO, and Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, MS.

Behind the Top 5 in the NeSmith Chevrolet Old Man’s Garage Weekly Racing Series point standings, there is a logjam of drivers tightly bunched in points. Just 14 points separate sixth from tenth in the point standings, and only 30 points separate sixth through 15th.

The 2013 NeSmith Chevrolet OMG WRS National Champion will earn $10,000 and the Top 10 drivers in the final National point standings will also receive cash awards from the point fund. Drivers will also compete for an additional point fund at each series sanctioned track.
