ADAIRSVILLE, GA – Week 17 was a good one for Sid Scarbrough of Florence, MS, as he drove the Villa South Special to the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division victory on Friday night at Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, MS. The win put Scarbrough on top of the National point standings with ten weeks to go in the 2019 season.

Cole Cameron of Hattiesburg, MS went into Week 17 with the point lead in the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division. An 11th-place finish for Cameron on Friday night in the Cameron Motor Company Special at Hattiesburg Speedway, combined with Scarbrough’s win, dropped him to the second spot in the standings.

Scarbrough has 607 points after four wins, 12 top five finishes, and 16 top ten finishes in 16 races over 13 weeks of competition. Cameron has 603 points after two wins, nine top five finishes, and 12 top ten finishes in 14 events over 13 weeks of racing. Both Scarbrough and Cameron have one more week to earn full points.

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 27-week season that concludes on September 29.

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 Chevrolet Late Model Division National point standings will earn a seat at the Durrence Layne Racing Annual Awards Banquet to receive a $10,000 point fund check and a trophy.

Braden Mitchell of Russellville, AL will be a driver to watch in the coming weeks in the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division Weekly Racing Series competition.

Mitchell is third in the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division standings with 582 points after six wins, 14 top five finishes and 15 top ten finishes in 15 races over 12 weeks of competition. Mitchell has two more weeks to earn full points before he reaches the 14-week mark of his 2019 season.

Jason Jarrell of Hattiesburg, MS is fourth in the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division standings with 574 points after one win, 14 top five finishes and 15 top ten finishes in 15 events over 12 weeks of racing.
