Rhett Carter Gets Win #11; NeSmith Dirt Late Model Series Action Up Next
Blackshear, Georgia (09/06/17) – Rhett Carter visited Victory Lane in his Continental Tire #44 Jeff’s Heating & Air/ Rocket Chassis XR1 / Wildcat Performance Engines Crate Late Model on Saturday night at Needmore Speedway.
“It was a pretty good weekend for our team,” Carter noted. “We were really good in the Crate Late Model feature at Needmore Speedway. I felt like I probably left a little bit on the table in both Southern Thunder events, but it is what it is. We’ll dig deep and do our best to get the victories next time.”
Saturday night brought Rhett Carter to Needmore Speedway (Needmore, Georgia), competing in two separate divisions for the Labor Day weekend special. After registering the quickest lap in a field of 23 Southern Thunder Late Models, Carter posted a 2nd-place finish in the $3,000-to-win feature, trailing Mark Whitener across the finish line with Scott Johnson, Bo Allen, and John Baker rounding out the Top 5.
In the Crate Late Model ranks, Carter timed in fifth fastest in qualifying, positioning him 5th on the starting grid for the feature. Wheeling his way to the front, Rhett Carter streaked to his 11th win of the season and a $2,000 payday. Ryan Carter, Shan Smith, Colby Boyett, and Grayson Ott completed the Top-5 finishers.
Sunday night found Rhett in action at Cochran Motor Speedway (Cochran, Georgia) returning to action with the Southern Thunder Late Model Series. Laying down the tenth fastest time overall in a field of 40 Super Late Models, Carter earned the 10th-starting spot for the $3,000-to-win A-Main. Coming short of a Top-10 finish, Rhett slipped back to a 13th-place outing.

Rhett has a pair of NeSmith Dirt Late Model Series events on his radar for the upcoming weekend, September 8-9. On Friday night a $2,000 top prize will be on the line at Oglethorpe Speedway Park (Pooler, Georgia), while he’ll be seeking a $2,500 winner’s check on Saturday at Cochran Motor Speedway (Cochran, Georgia).
