BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA (June 26, 2014) - The Schaeffer's Oil Southern Nationals Series presented by Old Man's Garage will kick off in less than four weeks and business is starting to pick up before the Tenth Anniversary kicks into high gear.  Series promoter Ray Cook has announced that for all ten Southern Nationals Series events, there will be bonuses given to three different engine packages.

The highest finishing CT525 engine or Spec engine in the A-Main each night will receive a $200 cash bonus. Also, the highest finishing Steel Headed engine Late Model will receive a $200 cash bonus. If a 525/Spec or Steel head engine wins the race, then the $200 bonus will be given to the highest finishing open engine super late model.

Also, the highest finishing CT525 and/or Spec engine driver along with the Steel Head driver will be brought to Victory Lane each night and will be joining the top three feature drivers and will be given an award as well. If a 525/Spec or Steel head engine wins the race, then they will join the other drivers in Victory Lane each night.

Promoter Ray Cook is excited about the series bonuses. "It gives these guys a chance to run for some more money and be recognized for their efforts," stated Cook. "We look forward to seeing everyone at our first event at Wythe Raceway July 21st and we think this will be a great tenth anniversary season," Cook went on to say.

The Southern Nationals Series will feature a points fund in excess of $15,000 with $5,053 going to the Series Champion, second place receives $2,553, third place receives $2,053, fourth place receives $1,553, fifth place receives $1,053, sixth place receives $753, seventh place receives $653 and eighth place in series points will receive $553 along with all other prefect attendance drivers. Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, GA is the defending series champion. Purses in excess of $200,000 will go out the door in just ten days of racing.

In addition to the Southern Nationals and Spring Nationals Series point funds, the series has announced a Combined Bonus for the top five drivers who finish the highest with both tours. The overall top driver from each series will receive $5,053, with second place receiving $2,553, third place receiving $2,053, fourth place receiving $1,553 and fifth place receiving $1,053.

A possible $15,000+ could be won by Billy Ogle Jr. this season if he wins the Spring and Southern Nationals with points fund monies from both tours and the Combined Bonus Money. Also, if a driver was to at least run fifth in both tours, he could receive $3,159 with point funds and the combined bonus.
