FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division Week 17 of 2017 Round Up

Cartersville, GA - Week 17 for the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division was damp as Mother Nature continued to wreak havoc on the racing world with many events falling victim to rain outs. There

were several tracks spared and those bright spots allowed some drivers to improve on their results, and others close in on their 14 weeks of competition. There is still a lot of racing left and the championship points chase is far from complete!

 

Headlines from Week 17:

  • Will Burke parked his #44 machine in victory lane at Duck River Raceway Park in Wheel, TN.
  • Jimmy Nolen picked up a Friday night win at Clayhill Speedway in Atwood, TN.
  • Steve Pate visited victory lane again at his home track "The Hornet's Nest" Talladega Short Track.
  • Current National points leader Josh Tomlin grabbed a Friday night feature win at Moulton Raceway Park in Moulton, AL.
  • Jason Baker took the checkered flag win on Saturday night at ECM Speedway in Arkadelphia, AL.
  • Carl Kilgore tamed the gumbo and was victorious on Saturday night at Greenville Speedway in Greenville, MS.
  • Bradley Frakes was the big winner on Saturday night at the "Playground of Power" East Alabama Motor Speedway.
  • Todd Robinson put his #3 in victory lane at "Alabama's Action Track" North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, AL.

Full feature finishes from Week 17 are posted just below the Top 20 in the Point Standings through July 16th, 2017.
