CARTERSVILLE, GA – Thanks to Mother Nature, all the action in Week 8 of the 27-week 2015 NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division Presented By AR Bodies season took place 30 miles apart from each other, as all of the competition focused on Flomaton Speedway in Flomaton, AL and Southern Raceway in Milton, FL.
Branden Harris of Molino, FL had his son and six-year-old crew chief and self-proclaimed brains of the operation Landen Harris stay awake through a rain delay and into the late hours of the night to help his Dad capture his second NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division win of the season driving the Coastal Engine and Machine Chevrolet powered by a $3,495 Chevrolet Performance 602 Circle Track Engine.
“Landen usually falls asleep before the feature race, but he has stayed awake twice this season, and we’ve won both times,” Harris said. “We’ve to figure out a way to keep that boy awake until the checkered flag falls at these races!”
The victory vaulted Harris up into the second spot of the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division National standings with 321 points after two wins and six top five finishes in seven races. Harris trails point leader Richie Stephens of Salem, AL by nine points.
