CARTERSVILLE, GA - The 2018 Rules and Regulations for the Crate Racin' USA Modified Sportsman Division Powered by Chevrolet Performance are now posted on the Division's new web site at www.nesmithracing.com and by clicking on the Crate Racin' USA Modified Sportsman Division Powered by Chevrolet Performance logo.

               The Crate Racin' USA Modified Sportsman Division Powered by Chevrolet Performance is the newest NeSmith Racing Weekly Racing Series Division.  Drivers at NeSmith Racing Sanctioned Tracks that run the Division will be eligible for both a Track point fund and a National point fund.

Drivers will compete for National Points during a 27-week season that runs from the end of March through the end of September.  A driver can run as many races as they wish each week, but only their best single point total for that week will count for their national points.  A driver's best 14 weekly point totals will count as their season total.  Once a driver reaches the 14 week mark of their season, they will begin netting points by replacing their lowest weekly point total with a higher one.

               The Top Ten drivers in the Crate Racin' USA Modified Sportsman Division Powered by Chevrolet Performance National point standings will receive an invitation to be honored at the NeSmith Racing Annual Awards Banquet held each year at the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame and Thunder Road Museum in the Birthplace of Stock Car Racing, Dawsonville, GA.

NeSmith Racing has several tracks that have signed on with the Crate Racin' USA Modified Sportsman Division for the 2018.  They include Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, AL, Camden Speedway in Camden, TN, Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, MS, and plans to add North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, AL, Cochran Motor Speedway in Cochran, GA, and Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, MS.

               With the rising costs of Open Wheel Modifieds across the country, the Crate Racin' USA Modified Sportsman Division takes this form of racing back to its roots when it was affordable.  The chassis are a three-link rear suspension with an affordable shock package.  While Open Engines are still an option, they must run a 500 CFM two-barrel carburetor, and all cars will run on Hoosier H500 Racing Tires.

               An affordable engine option is also available with the Chevrolet Performance 602 Circle Track Engine, a 350 horsepower steel-block, steel-head engine available at NeSmith Chevrolet, Buick GMC in Claxton, GA for $3,595 with free next-day delivery anywhere in the Southeast.  To place an order, call 1-877-497-3624.  This engine may run with a four-barrel carburetor.
