Lucky
Keeton
Richie Stephens
CARTERSVILLE, GA – NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series
Regional point leaders Lucky Keeton of Toomsuba, MS and Richie
Stephens of Phenix City, AL each posted victories in Week 10
competition over the weekend.
Keeton took his fifth win of the season
on Saturday night at
Whynot
Motorsports
Park
,
and Stephens bagged win number four on Friday night at Penton Raceway
in
Penton
,
AL
and win number five on Saturday night at
East Alabama
Motor
Speedway
in
Phenix
City
,
AL
on Saturday night.
The defending and two-time NeSmith
Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series West Region Champion Keeton now holds
an 82-point lead over
Herman
Reynolds of Laurel, MS in quest of his third straight title.
Keeton has 499 points and Reynolds has 417 points.
Both drivers have 11 starts.
Josh Huss of Flomaton, AL is third with
355 points in nine starts, and leads a tight battle in which 28 points
separate the third through seventh positions.
Chris Griffin of Flomaton, AL is fourth
with 350 points in nine starts, and Heath Gibson of Brewton, AL is
fifth with 350 points in nine starts.
Talbert Goldman of Meridian, MS is sixth with 342 points in
eight starts, and Shannon Lee of Lumberton, MS is seventh with 327
points in eight starts after taking the win on Friday night at
Southern Speedway
in
Hattiesburg
,
MS
.

Shannon Lee
Micha McCall of Flomaton, AL is eighth
with 311 points, and Larry Murphy of Meridian, MS is ninth with 286
points. Seth Gransberry of
Century, FL rounds out the top ten in the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly
Racing Series West Region with 281 points.

Mark Clifton
Mark Clifton of Brewton, AL is just one
point out of the top ten, but is still on a roll, as his perfect
season remained in tact after winning his sixth straight NeSmith
Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series West Region victory in as many starts
on Saturday night at Flomaton Speedway in
Flomaton
,
AL
.

Shawn
Edwards
Tootie Arnold
In other NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing
Series West Region action on Saturday night, a pair of first time
winners took the spotlight. Shawn
Edwards of Louisville, MS was the winner at Columbus Speedway in
Columbus, MS, and Tootie Arnold of Meadville, MS grabbed the victory
at
A1
Raceway
in Slidell, LA.
Stephens leads the NeSmith Chevrolet
Weekly Racing Series East Region with 552 points in 13 starts, as he
closes in on the 16 start mark after which he will begin netting
points. A driver’s 16
best finishes count towards his season point total, so if Stephens
records a higher point total than his lowest point total in his 17th
start, those points will override the lowest point score to date.
Stephens holds a 114-point lead over
Larry Harrod of Plains, GA, who has 438 points in 11 starts.
Adam Martin of Talladega,
AL
could be in a position to close quickly on Stephens as he nears the 16
race mark. Martin picked
up his second win of the season on Saturday night at
Talladega
Short Track in
Eastaboga
,
AL
,
and now has 432 points in just nine starts for the third spot in the
points.
Behind the top three in the NeSmith
Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series East Region points chase, just 29
points separate the fourth through tenth positions.
Chase Edge of Lafayette, AL is fourth in
the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series East Region with 420 points
in 12 starts, and Anthony Meadows of Lanett, AL is fifth with 409
points in 10 starts. Jimmy
Elkins Jr. of Talladega, AL is sixth with 402 points in nine starts,
and Dillon Crim of Eastaboga, AL is seventh with 400 points in 11
starts.
Brian
Ponder
of Talladega, AL is eighth in the NeSmith Chevrolet WRS East Region
standings with 396 points in nine starts, and the defending NeSmith
Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series East Region Champion Logan Yates of
Delta, AL is ninth with 392 points in nine starts.
Marc Gooden of Lafayette, AL rounds out the top ten in the East
Region with 391 points in 11 starts.
In other NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing
Series East Region action on Saturday night, Steve Barnett of
Franklin, IN kept his perfect season in tact with his third straight
win in as many starts at Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, IN.
Barnett should begin to climb up the standings, as his last two
wins were double-point races.

Jason Hiett
Jason Hiett of Lincoln, AL recorded his
third win of the season at Green Valley Speedway in Glencoe, AL.
Chattahoochee Valley Motor Speedway in Dothan, AL did not
report their Saturday night results, but Russell Welch of Cottondale,
FL did post his fifth win of the season on May 24.
