CARTERSVILLE, GA – Week 21 of the 27-week 2018 Durrence Layne Weekly Racing Series will feature 14 Races in six difference states that include Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Nebraska. The Top 10 Points Fund Paying spots in the National point standings are beginning to take shape in the stretch drive of the season.
There will be four races on Friday night, nine races on Saturday night, and one race on Sunday night. Each year at this point of the season, a driver comes from “out of nowhere” and into championship contention under the Durrence Layne Weekly Racing Series points system that takes a driver’s best 14 weekly point totals as their National points total.
Drivers that have reached the 14-week point of their season are trying to net points by replacing the lowest of their best 14 with a higher one. Drivers that are still earning full points, trying to reach their 14th week, can gain positions in the point standings in a hurry.
There will be 12 races in the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division, ten races in the Durrence Layne Performance Parts Street Stock Division, five races in the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Sportsman Division and three races in the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Modified Sportsman Division in Durrence Layne Weekly Racing Series Week 21 competition.
The main focus of Week 21 will be the 6th Annual Durrence Layne Performance Parts Southern Street Stock Nationals at Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, MS this Friday and Saturday night. While the $3,000-to-win Street Stock race and the $2,000-to-win Late Model Sportsman race on Saturday night will be non-points races, the Late Models will race on Saturday night for $1,000-to-win and that will be a points race.
On Friday night at Whynot Motorsports Park, the Late Models, Street Stocks and the Late Model Sportsman Divisions will compete for Durrence Layne Weekly Racing Series Week 21 National points.
Moulton Speedway in Danville, AL will host the Late Models, Street Stock, and Late Model Sportsman Divisions on Friday night. Oglethorpe Speedway Park in Savannah, GA will present the Late Models on Friday night, and Boyd’s Speedway in Ringgold, GA has the Street Stocks in action on Friday night.
Camden Speedway in Camden, TN, North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, AL and Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, AL will each host all four Durrence Layne Weekly Racing Series Divisions on Saturday night with the Late Models, Street Stocks, Late Model Sportsman, and Modified Sportsman Divisions in action.
Greenville Speedway in Greenville, MS will have the Late Models and the Street Stocks in action this Saturday night. The Late Models will run Double Features this Saturday night at Greenville Speedway with the first feature being a Week 13 Make-Up Race, and the second feature being the regularly scheduled Week 21 race.
Duck River Raceway Park in Lewisburg, TN and Southern Speedway in Milton, TN will each have Durrence Layne Weekly Racing Series Week 21 action for the Late Model and the Street Stock Divisions on Saturday night. Junction Motor Speedway in McCool Junction, NE will be in action on Saturday night with the Late Models. Needmore Speedway in Norman Park, GA will present action on Saturday night for the Durrence Layne Performance Parts Street Stock Division.
Sid Scarbrough of Florence, MS leads the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division standings with a best 14 weekly total of 694 points and he will be trying to net on a 49. That means Scarbrough has to win a 50-point race with eight or more cars in the field to improve on his season point total.
Steve Russell of Pontotoc, MS is second in the Late Model standings with a best 14 weekly total of 688 points, and he will be trying to net on a 46. Tootie Arnold of Meadeville, MS is third with a best 14-week total of 680 points, and he will be trying to net on a 45.

A driver to watch in the coming weeks is Evan Ellis of Plantersville, MS. Ellis is 19th in the National Late Model Durrence Layne Weekly Racing Series standings with 597 points, but he still has two more weeks to earn full points. His point total includes ten 50-point wins. Two more 50-point wins would bring his total to 697 points, three points away from a perfect season.
Ricky Idom of Hattiesburg, MS has reached the “Perfect Score” of 700 points based on 14 50-point wins in the Durrence Layne Performance Parts Street Stock Division. Idom will now be trying to gain more wins in case another driver can reach the 700 point mark over the next eight weeks of competition. Idom has 15 wins in 19 races and the clock is ticking on the competition.
Idom is biding his time, as his competitors’ window of opportunities close in the coming weeks. Idom is looking to join his son Jeremy Idom as a Durrence Layne Performance Parts Street Stock Division National Champion. Jeremy Idom was the 2014 National Champion in a 1957 Chevrolet built by his Dad.
Lee Ray of Columbus, MS is second in the Street Stock standings with a best 14 weekly total of 690 points, and he will be trying to net on a 48. Ray has five 50-point wins, and with seven weeks left in the season, he is going to have to win out and get some help with Double Features.
Chad Winkles of Hartselle, AL has the third spot with a best 14 week total of 676 points, and he will be trying to net on a 43. Winkles, with six 50-point wins, is another driver that has to win out and get some Double Feature help to challenge Idom for the title. Michael Blount of Sumrall, MS is fourth in the standings with a best 14-week total of 669 points, and he will be trying to net on a 45.
Bryan Fortner of Millport, AL is fifth in the Street Stock standings with a best 14 weekly total of 668 points, and he will be trying to net on a 44. The driver to watch in the remaining seven weeks of the season is Mark Haddon of Winchester, TN. Haddon is 17th in the standings with 585 points, but he has two more weeks to earn full points. Haddon has seven 50-point wins.
Hayden Duncan of Leighton, AL leads the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Sportsman standings with a best 14 week total of 694 points, and he will be trying to net on a 47. Bryson Mitchell of Russellville, AL is second with a best 14 week total of 686 points, and he will be trying to net on a 48.
Blake Ray of Russellville, AL is third in the Late Model Sportsman standings with a best 14 week total of 676 points, and he will be trying to net on a 46. Cole Brown of Cullman, AL is fourth with a best 14 week total of 675 points, and he will be trying to net on a 41. Brandon Crosby of Anniston, AL is fifth with a best 14 week total of 666 points and he will be trying to net on a 43.
Oakley Gillespie of Five Points, TN is the new point leader in the Durrence Layne Modified Sportsman Division. Gillespie has a best 14-week total of 601 points, and he will be trying to net on a 37. Justin Angle of Anniston, AL is second in the standings with a best 14-week total of 592 points, and he will be trying to net on a 38.
Andy Davis of Odenville, AL is third with a best 14-week total of 589 points, and he will be trying to net on a 38. While the top three in the Modified Sportsman point standings have reached the 14-week mark of their seasons, the fourth and fifth-place drivers still have one more week to earn full points.
Casey Dunavan of Medina, TN is fourth with 559 points after 13 weeks of racing. Tracy Terrell of Russellville, AL is fifth in the Modified Sportsman standings with 553 points after 13 weeks of racing. A 50-point win by either or both drivers in Week 21 competition could really shake things up for the remaining six weeks of the season.
