CARTERSVILLE, GA – With four weeks to go in the 27-week 2013 NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division season, it has come down to two drivers tied for the point lead, and one driver that still has a mathematical chance to win the Championship. Trey Bright of Coker, AL and Kevin Spears of Fayette, AL are tied for the point lead for the second straight week.

There are five races over three nights on the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division Week 24 schedule of events. The action begins Friday night at Hattiesburg Motorsports Park in Hattiesburg, MS.

Saturday will see races scheduled for Green Valley Speedway in Glencoe, AL, Jackson Motor Speedway in Jackson, MS, and Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, MS. Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, MS will present a Sunday night NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division Week 24 race.

For the first time ever, there will be three NeSmith Racing Divisions in action at the same track on the same night on both Saturday night and Sunday night.

The Chevrolet Super Late Model Series, the NeSmith Chevrolet Old Man’s Garage Weekly Racing Series Late Models, and the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division will be on the same racing program on Saturday night at Whynot Motorsports Park, and on Sunday night at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, MS.

Bright and Spears both have a 14 week total of 689 points, and Bright has the tie-breaker advantage with eight wins to seven for Spears. NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division Week 24 will see Bright trying to net on a 46, which means he has to finish fourth or better to gain any points. Spears will try to net on a 48, which means he has to finish second or better to gain any points.

Looking ahead at the next four weeks, both Bright and Spears can earn a possible 697 points if they each post a 50-point win in each of the four remaning weeks for the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division season. Bright can net on a 46, a 48, and two 49s. Spears will be looking to net on four 48s.

Calvin Cook of Pace, FL is third in the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division standings with a best 14 week total of 669, but he cannot net enough points in the four weeks left in the second to win the championship. Over the next four weeks, Cook will be looking to net on a 44, a 46, and two 47s. With wins in each of the four weeks left in the season, Cook can earn a possible 685 points.

Roger Flynn of Denham Springs, LA is still alive in the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division Championship hunt. Flynn is currently fourth in the standings with a best 14 week total of 657 points. If he post a win in each of the four remaining weeks of the season by netting on two 41s and two 42s, he can earn a possible 691 points. Flynn has a series-leading nine wins this season.

There are still several positions among the Top 10 in the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division standings to be decidied, and still several drivers with the potential to fill them in the four remaining weeks of the season.

Dave Nations of Raymond, MS is fifth in the standings with a best 14 week total of 650 points and will be looking to net on a 41. Eddie Willis of Saucier, MS and Brandon Leftwich of Meridian, MS are tied for the sixth spot in the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division standings, as each driver has a best 14 week total of 627 points.

Chad Hiers of Ocean Springs, MS is ninth in the standings with a best 14 week total of 607 points, and he will be trying to net on a 38.

Adam Cheeks of Guntown, MS is tenth in the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division standings with 599 points, and he still has one more week to earn full points. There are three other drivers in the second ten of the point standings that have one or two more weeks to earn full points and the potential to move into one of the Top 10 points-fund paying positions.

Kevin Whittington of Brandon, MS is 11th in the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division standings with 589 points, and has one more week to earn full points. Mark Barnett of Aberdeen, MS is 16th in the standings with 557 points and has two more weeks to earn full points.

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.
