ADAIRSVILLE, GA – A Week 16 Make-Up Race, drivers reaching the 14-week mark, and Week 18 Durrence Layne Weekly Racing Series action shuffled up the Top 5 of the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division. When it was all said and done, Jason Jarrell of Hattiesburg, MS is the new point leader with just eight points separating the Top 4 drivers.

Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, MS set the shuffle in motion with Double Feature races on Friday night. Sid Scarbrough of Florence, MS reached the 14-week mark of his season with a win in the Week 16 Make-Up Race driving the Villa South Special. Shannon Lee of Lumberton, MS was second.

Cole Cameron of Hattiesburg, MS reached the 14-week mark of his season with a third-place finish in the Week 16 Make-Up Race, and Jarrell came home in fifth.

Jarrell finished third in the Week 18 Feature Race at Hattiesburg Speedway on Friday night to reach the 14-week mark of his season. Scarbrough scored the best finish of his Week 18 competition with a third-place finish to net on a 39 on Saturday night at Jackson Motor Speedway in Jackson, MS.

At the completion of Week 18 action, Jarrell leads the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division National standings with a best 14-week total of 668 points followed by Lee with a best 14-week total of 667 points, Scarbrough is third with a best 14-week total of 666 points, and Cameron is fourth with a best 14-week total of 660 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 point fund check and a trophy, with the National Champion pocketing $10,000.
