CARTERSVILLE, GA – The inaugural season for the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division has reached the halfway point with Week 14 this Friday night and Saturday night with six races on the schedule of events. The first half of the season has brought new notoriety to many drivers for their victories and their place in the point standings.
Hattiesburg Motorsports Park in Hattiesburg, MS will host the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division this Friday night, and Saturday night events are on tap for Jackson Motor Speedway in Jackson, MS, Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, MS, Moulton Speedway in Moulton, AL, St. Tammany Raceway in Lacombe, LA and Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, AL.
As the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division enters the second half of the 2013 season, not only will points at each event matter, but closer attention to the Weekly Point Average, or WPA, will come into play.
Drivers that race at NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division tracks compete against each other through a points system that counts a driver’s best 14 weekly point totals during the 27-week season that runs through September 29. A perfect 14-week point score is 700 which represents 14 50-point wins.
Once a driver reaches the 14th week of competition they begin netting points by replacing the lowest weekly point total among their best 14 with a higher weekly point total. The 2013 NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division champion will pocket $2,000 and the National point fund pays back to the Top 10 drivers at the end of the season.
The Weekly Point Average, or WPA, is a driver’s season point total divided by 14, or the number of weeks they have competed in NeSmith Chevrolet Old Man’s Garage Weekly Racing Series competition up to the 14th week. A perfect WPA is 50.
A win with a car count of eight or more is worth 50 points and drops one point per position back to tenth spot. Drivers that finish tenth through field in the main event earn 41 points. Drivers that attempt to compete, but fail to start the main event earn 25 points. A win with a car count of less than eight is worth 40 points and drops back one point per position.
Trey Bright of Coker, AL and Kevin Spears of Fayette, AL are once again one-two respectively in the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division point standings, as they have been for the majority of the first half of the season.
Bright, with 567 points in 12 weeks of competition, has a 12-point lead over Spears, who has 555 points in 12 weeks of NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division competition. Both drivers have two more weeks to earn full points. Bright has the fourth-highest WPA among the Top 20 drivers in the standings at 47.25, and Spears has the sixth-highest WPA at 46.25.
Dave Nations of Raymond, MS is third in the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division standings with 520 points in 11 weeks of competition and is tied with Bright for the fourth-highest WPA at 47.25. Wayne Medders of Morton, MS is fourth in the standings with 489 points in 11 weeks of competition and has the seventh highest WPA at 44.45.
Brandon Leftwich of Meridian, MS is fifth in the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division standings with 469 points after 11 weeks of competition and has the ninth highest WPA at 42.64. Chad Hiers of Ocean Springs, MS is sixth in the standings with 452 points after 11 weeks of competition. Nations, Medders, Leftwich and Hiers have three more weeks to earn full points.
Eddie Willis of Saucier, MS is seventh in the standings with 385 points in nine weeks of competition and has the eighth-highest WPA at 42.78. Willis can earn full points for another five weeks before hitting the 14-week mark.
Roger Flynn of Denham Springs, LA is eighth in the standings with 383 points after eight weeks of competition, but he has the second-highest WPA among the Top 20 drivers in the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division standings at 47.87. Flynn has six more weeks to earn full points. Flynn also has seven wins, but one of those victories is a 40-point win.
Charles Coan of Danville, AL is ninth in the standings with 377 points in nine weeks of competition and Keith Coan of Town Creek, AL rounds out the Top 10 of the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division standings with 374 points in nine weeks of competition. Both drivers can earn full points for five more weeks.
Three drivers in the Top 10 of the WPA list among the Top 20 point drivers, including two of the top three drivers, are in the “second ten” of the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division point standings.
Calvin Cook of Pace, FL has the highest WPA among the Top 20 drivers in the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division standings at 48.57, even though he is 13th in the point standings. Cook has 340 points in seven weeks of competition and can earn full points for another seven weeks.
