CARTERSVILLE, GA – Jeremy Idom of Hattiesburg, MS will try and clinch the 2014 NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division Presented By AR Bodies National Championship in Week 24 competition this weekend by taking his 14[sup]th[/sup] 50-point win of the season. A 50-point win would net two points on a 48 and bring Idom’s best 14 week total to 698 points and clinch the title.

The defending NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division Champion Trey Bright of Coker, AL is second in the standings with a best 14 week total of 681 points. Northwest Florida Speedway in Baker, FL announced yesterday that they will be running Double Features this Saturday night, so that will give Bright five opportunities to post five 50-point wins and bring his season total to 698.

That could create a tie in points, but Idom would have the tie-breaker advantage, as he already has 13 50-point wins, while Bright has the potential to have 12 at the end of the season. If Idom fails to net any more points this season and stays at his current total of 696 points, that also gives Kevin Whittington of Brandon, MS and Larry Faulk of Pace, FL a mathematical chance at the title.

Idom will be trying to wrap up the 2014 NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division National Championship this Friday night at his home track, Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, MS. In addition to the Double Features at Northwest Florida Speedway, Saturday night Week 24 races will be held at Southern Raceway in Milton, FL and St. Tammany Raceway in Lacombe, LA.

The first of the two Double Feature races at Northwest Florida Speedway will be a NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division Week 17 Make-Up race. The second feature race will be the regularly scheduled Week 24 race.

NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division Week 24 competition began on Monday night at Flomaton Speedway in Flomaton, AL where Wayne Hawthorne of Jay, FL drove the Prescott Gas Chevrolet to his second win of the 2014 season.

Idom leads the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division standings with a best 14 week total of 696 points that is represented by 11 50-point wins, two 49-point second-place finishes, and one 48-point third-place showing. While Idom has 13 total wins, two of those came during weeks that Idom had two wins, and only one counted towards his best 14 week season total.

Bright is second in the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division standings with a best 14 week total of 681 points and will be trying to net on a two 45s, a 46, a 48, and a 49 in the five point opportunities in the remaining four weeks of the season. Whittington is third with a best 14 week total of 674 points.

Whittington will be trying to net on a 44, three 45s, and a 48 in his five point opportunities in the last four weeks of the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division season. Faulk is fourth in the standings with a best 14 week total of 671 points, and in the five point opportunities left for him in the last four weeks of the season, he will be trying to net on a 42, two 44s, a 46, and a 48.

David Windham of Florala, AL is fifth in the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division standings with a best 14 week total of 670 points, and he will be trying to net on a 45 and a 46 in Week 24 competition. Brandon Leftwich of Hattiesburg, MS is sixth with a best 14 week total of 657 points. Leftwich has the opportunity to net 16 points off a 41 and a 43 this weekend.

Branden Harris of Molino, FL is seventh in the standings with a best 14 week total of 647 points. Should he choose to run the Double Features at Northwest Florida Speedway, Harris can net on a pair of 41s and add 18 points to his season total with a pair of 50-point wins.

Doug Lea of Milton, FL is eighth in the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division standings with a best 14 week total of 642 points. Lea can also have a big point weekend with a pair of 50-point wins by gaining 21 points after netting on a 39 and a 40. Dean Shaw of Defuniak Springs, FL is ninth in the standings with a best 14 week total of 633 points.

Shaw will also be looking to net on a 39 and a 40 in the point opportunities of Week 24 with the potential to gain 21 points with a pair of 50-point wins. Mike Lane of Pace, FL is tenth in the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division standings with 627 points, but he is serving a suspension for the remainder of the season, and will not be able to earn any more points.

Michael Williams of Saucier, MS is 11[sup]th[/sup] in the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division standings with a best 14 week total of 624 points. Williams will be trying to move into the Top 10 of the point standings in Week 24 action by trying to net on a pair of 41s.
