NeSMITH CHEVROLET WEEKLY RACING SERIES WEEK 2 PREVIEW

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

CARTERSVILLE, GA – The NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series Week 2 schedule of events shows seven races in four states that include action in two different series that are co-sanctioned by the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series. There will be two races on Friday night and five races on Saturday night.

The action begins this Friday night when the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series co-point leader Michael Arnold of Hattiesburg, MS will be looking for his second straight win at his home track Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, MS. Arnold is tied for the National point lead with Joseph Joiner of Milton, FL with 50 points apiece.

Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, MS will be in action on Friday night, and is one of five tracks to open its National points season during Week 2 NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series competition.

Joiner is not only the co-point leader in the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series National points, but he is also the point leader in the NeSmith Panhandle Challenge Series that is co-sanctioned by the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series. Joiner will be looking for his second straight win in both series this Saturday night when Flomaton Speedway in Flomaton, AL opens its 2015 season.

Magnolia Motor Speedway will be back in action on Saturday night with a $1,000-to-win 45 Challenge Series Race that is run in conjunction with NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series events at Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, MS. Arnold won the first 45 Challenge Series race last Saturday night at Whynot Motorsports Park, and will be looking to make it two-in-a-row this Saturday night at The Mag.

Lonestar Speedway in Kilgore, TX will host the first-ever race for the Southern Crate Late Model Series that is co-sanctioned by the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series. The inaugural race will pay $1,000-to-win and drivers will compete for points and point fund money in both series.

This Saturday night will also see St. Tammany Raceway in Lacombe, LA and Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, AL host their 2015 NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series season openers during Week 2 competition.
