CARTERSVILLE, GA – A1 Raceway in Slidell, LA has returned to the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series for the 2010 season. Drivers in the A1 Raceway NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series Late Model Division will compete for both a Track point fund and a Regional point fund against drivers from other NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series West Region tracks.

A1 Raceway was a part of the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series West Region during the 2008 season, and Shannon Lee of Lumberton, MS took the A1 Raceway NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series Late Model Championship that season. Lee and several other regular competitors at A1 Raceway battled for the West Region championship.

“There are a lot of good quality race cars and talented drivers competing in the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series in Louisiana and South Mississippi, and they always seem to be in the hunt for the West Region Championship,” NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series Director Roby Helm said. “Drivers in this part of the region can compete on Friday nights at Hattiesburg Motorsports Park in Hattiesburg, MS, and now they can compete for Regional points on Saturday night at A1 Raceway.”

The 2010 NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series Regional season will run from April 2, 2010 through October 3, 2010. During this 27-week season, drivers may earn Regional points in up to 24 events with their top 16 finishes counting towards their season Regional point total.

The top ten drivers in the West Region will be invited to the 5th Annual NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series Fall Nationals at the end of the 2010 season, and compete in the Race of Regions.

The top ten drivers in the A1 Raceway NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series Late Model Division, excluding those drivers that place in the top ten of the Regional points, will also be invited to compete in the Fall Nationals race. The 2010 A1 Raceway NeSmith Chevrolet WRS Late Model Champion will also compete in the Race of Champions at the Fall Nationals.

The NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series Late Models are powered by the economical GM Performance 604 and 602 engines that are built and sealed at the factory to prevent any expensive modifications. The engines can be purchased at NeSmith Chevrolet in Claxton, GA with free next day delivery in the Southeastern United States.

The 400-horsepower aluminum-head 604 engine costs right at $5,300 and the 350-horsepower 602 engine costs right at $3,300, and get a 150-pound weight break. The race cars will also be shod with economical Hoosier Race Tires. For more information about the purchase of GM Performance 604 and 602 engines, contact Tim Bland at NeSmith Chevrolet at 877-497-3624, or visit their web site at www.nesmithnow.com.

The NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series gives its tracks and competitors maintenance, technical, and public relations support. Should the GM Performance engines need to be repaired, the work can be done through the series’ network of authorized rebuilders. They can break the factory seals, repair the engines, and reseal them. The series keeps a database of repairs to insure the legality of the engines, in that they stay within the specifications and tolerances set by the factory.
