CARTERSVILLE, GA – Frank Wilson of Milton, FL is the 2007 StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series South Region Champion. Wilson cut through the South Region competition like the buzz saw that adorns the side of his #72 Wilson Lumber Rocket, winning seven races, and posting 18 top finishes.

Wilson was the “Ironman” of the StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series in 2007, competing in a series-leading 42 events at four different tracks. Wilson had three wins in 22 starts at Blackman Motor Speedway in Blackman, FL, and two wins in 12 starts at Southern Raceway in Milton, FL. Wilson was the StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series Track Champion at both tracks.

Also on Wilson’s 2007 resume were one win in five starts at Butler County Motorsports Park in Greenville, AL, and one victory at Deep South Speedway in Loxley, AL, where he had three starts.

By winning the StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series South Region, Wilson will receive a cash award, a new GM Performance 604 Crate Engine, and a new TNT Chassis at the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series Annual Awards Banquet in Tampa, FL on December 5.

“This is by far the best season I’ve ever had in racing, and the first time I’ve actually made a little money doing it,” Wilson said. “The StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series gives weekly racers an opportunity to compete at a higher level of dirt late model competition at a more economical pace with the GM Performance Crate Engine.”

The StormPay.com WRS South Region Champion is already looking forward to 2008, when he will step up to the next level of competition.

“I’m already preparing for the 2008 season with a new race car and a new hauler,” Wilson said. “My plan is to run the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series National Tour next season and compete for the Rookie of the Year title,”

Wilson is also one of 120 StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series drivers invited to the 2nd Annual Crate Racin’ USA Fall Nationals Invitational Race this Friday night at Columbus Speedway in Columbus, MS.
