CARTERSVILLE, GA – There are five NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division races on the Week 18 schedule of events.

Saturday night races will be held at Jackson Motor Speedway in Jackson, MS, Moulton Speedway in Moulton, AL, Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, AL, and Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, MS.

Kevin Spears of Fayette, AL holds a three point lead over Trey Bright of Coker, AL in the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division point standings in the battle for the championship. Spears has a best 14-week point total of 674 and Bright has a best 14-week point total of 671.

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.

Spears will be trying to net on a 44 in Week 18 NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division competition, and Bright will be trying to net on a 41. Spears and Bright have traded the point lead several times in the past few weeks. Spears has the second highest WPA among the Top 20 drivers in the point standings with a 48.14, and Bright has the third highest WPA at 47.93.
