CARTERSVILLE, GA – The highlight of Week 8 of the 27-week 2015 NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division Presented By AR Bodies season will be Saturday night at Jackson Motor Speedway in Jackson, MS with a $1,000-to-win race co-sanctioned by the Mississippi Street Stock Series.
Five races will make up Week 8 of the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division schedule, and they will all take place on Saturday night. Also hosting Week 8 Saturday night events will be Duck River Raceway Park in Wheel, TN, Flomaton Speedway in Flomaton, AL, Southern Raceway in Milton, FL, and Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, AL.
The Friday night NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division Week 8 event that was originally scheduled for Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, MS has been cancelled due to Track Equipment issues.
Richie Stephens of Salem, AL leads the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division standings with 330 points to hold a 31-point lead over Brooks Strength of Raymond, MS with 299 points. Jason Jarrett of Hattiesburg, MS is third with 294 points and John Smartt of Manchester, TN holds the fourth spot with 276 points.
Braden Harris of Molino, FL and Jay Geddie of Ellisville, MS are tied for the fifth spot in the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division standings with 271 points apiece. David Williamson of Seminary, MS is seventh with 259 points, while Bill Stewart of Carriere, MS and Cliff Childers of Terry, MS are tied for the eighth spot with 233 points apiece. Larry Faulk of Monroeville, AL rounds out the Top 10 in the standings with 225 points.
At the one-quarter mark of the 2015 NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division season, the point standings are a reflection of who has run the most races. A better gauge of a driver’s standing among the Top 20 in the point standings is the Weekly Point Average, or WPA. A driver’s WPA is calculated by dividing the total number of points by the number of weeks competed.
While Strength may trail Stephens in the point standings by 31 points, Strength has competed one less week than Stephens, and therefore has the highest WPA among the Top 20 drivers in the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division standings at 49.83 out of a possible 50.
Stephens has the second highest WPA at 47.14, while Stewart and Childers are tied for the third highest WPA at 46.60. Steve Pate of Heflin, AL is all of way down in the 20th spot of the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division standings, but he has the fifth highest WPA at 46.25. Smartt has the sixth highest WPA at 46.
Harris and Geddie are tied with the seventh highest WPA among the Top 20 in the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division point standings at 45.17. Faulk has the ninth highest WPA at 45, and David Windham of Florala, AL, who in 11th in the point standings, has the tenth highest WPA at 43.40.
Drivers in the NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division will compete against each other nationally using a points system that will count their best 14 weekly point totals over a 27-week season from March 23 through September 27. The $5,000 National point fund will pay $2,000 to the National Champion and pay back to the Top 10 drivers in the final point standings.
NeSmith/AR Bodies Street Stock Division competitors also have the option to compete with the economical steel-head 350 horsepower Chevrolet Performance 602 Circle Track Engine that is available at NeSmith Chevrolet in Claxton, GA for $3,495 with free next day delivery anywhere in the Southeast.
