CARTERSVILLE, GA – The 2015 NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series opens its tenth season on March 23, and many sanctioned tracks will host practice sessions and race events prior to the beginning of the 27-week season. The season will run through September 27 and weekly late model drivers will count their best 14 weekly point totals as their season total.

Weekly late model drivers across the country will have an opportunity to tune-up at NeSmith-sanctioned tracks before competing for their respective track point funds and the $20,000 NeSmith Weekly Racing Series National point fund that will pay $10,000 to the National Champion and pay back to the top ten drivers in the point standings.

The majority of the NeSmith Weekly Racing Series tracks will present their first races for National points during Week 1 of the 2015 season the weekend of March 27 and March 28. The Pre-Season and Opening Night for National Points for each track is listed below according to track web sites and Social Media outlets.
