SPEEDWAY SPOTLIGHT – EAST ALABAMA MOTOR SPEEDWAY RETURNS TO NeSMITH CHEVROLET WRS
CARTERSVILLE, GA – East Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City, AL
returns to the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series after a year’s
absence for the 2012 season. Drivers
at East Alabama Motor Speedway will once again be eligible for a National
point fund that will pay $10,000 to the Champion and pay back ten spots.
History has shown that East Alabama Motor Speedway drivers have
always been front runners in NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series and
NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring competition.
Two NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series East Region Champions
have come from East Alabama Motor Speedway with Scott Knowles of Lanett,
AL in 2009 and Chase Edge of Lafayette, AL in 2010.
Three of the last four VP Racing Fuels Rookies of the Year have
come from EAMS with Knowles taking the honors in 2008, Larry Harrod of
Plains, GA winning it in 2010, and Edge taking the award in 2011.
Drivers at East Alabama Motor Speedway
will compete against drivers at other NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing
Series tracks through the country each weekend during a 27-week season
from March 26, 2012 through September 30, 2012 through a points system.
A competitor’s best 14 weekly point totals will count towards
their National point total.
Drivers can compete in multiple races
each week with their highest single event point total counting for that
week. A driver can also earn
up to 100 Weekly Racing Series Bonus Points that will be added to their
best 14 week point total. A
driver can earn as much as 800 points that represents 14 50-point wins and
100 Weekly Racing Series Bonus Points.
Weekly Racing Series Bonus Points can be earned in two different
ways. A driver can earn 25
Weekly Racing Series Bonus Points by competing in four straight events at
a single track. A driver can
also earn 25 Weekly Racing Series Bonus Points by competing in a NeSmith
Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring event during the Weekly Racing
Series season.
The dirt late model race cars in the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly
Racing Series are powered by the economical GM Performance Crate Engines
that are built and sealed at the factory to prevent any expensive
modifications. There are two
engines to choose from, the 400 horsepower aluminum-head 604 engine and
the 350 horsepower steel-head 602 engine that gets a 100-pound weight
break.
These engines are in stock and ready for free next day delivery
anywhere in the Southeast from NeSmith Chevrolet in Claxton, GA.
The GM Performance 604 Crate Engine is on sale for $5,095 and the
