Eddie Rhinehart of Lawrenceburg, TN is seventh in the Durrence Layne Performance Parts Street Stock Division National standings with 637 points and one more week to earn full points. A 50-point win for Rhinehart would give him a total of 687 points.

The defending Durrence Layne Performance Parts Street Stock World Champion T.J. Herndon of Atwood, TN is 15th in the standings with 587 points and two more weeks to earn full points. A pair of 50-point wins would give Herndon 687 points and put him right in the National Championship hunt with six weeks left in the season.

Drivers racing in Durrence Layne Weekly Racing Series events compete for both a Track point fund and a National point fund. Drivers compete against drivers racing at Durrence Layne Racing sanctioned tracks across the country using a National points system over a 29-week season that concludes on October 13.

A driver’s best 14 weekly point totals count as their season total. Once a driver reaches 14 weeks of competition, they start trying to net points by replacing the lowest weekly total among their best 14 weekly totals with a higher one. A driver can only count their best point total each week as their total for that week.

The top ten drivers in the Durrence Layne Performance Parts Street Stock Division National point standings will earn a seat at the Durrence Layne Racing Annual Awards Banquet to receive a point fund check and a trophy.
