DURRENCE LAYNE WEEKLY RACING SERIES WEEK 1 ROUND UP

ADAIRSVILLE, GA – The 14th Durrence Layne Weekly Racing Series season opened on Friday and Saturday with six tracks in four states getting their events in, while Mother Nature washed out four races. This past weekend’s events are the first of 27 weeks of Durrence Layne Weekly Racing Series competition for four Divisions.

Shane Riner of Guyton, GA opened the 2019 Durrence Layne Weekly Racing Series season with a Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division win on Friday night at Oglethorpe Speedway Park in Savannah, GA driving the Lawn Products Rocket.

            Columbus Speedway in Columbus, MS was also in action on Friday night and Jason Hollis won the Durrence Layne Performance Parts Street Stock Division main event, while Tony Shelton won the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Sportsman Division race.

            Jeremy Eaton won the Street Stock main event at Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, MS on Saturday night. Rain washed out the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division race scheduled for Saturday night at Hattiesburg Speedway.

            Leon Childs of Doerun, GA won the Durrence Layne Performance Parts Street Stock Division race on Saturday night at Needmore Speedway in Norman Park, GA. Mike Lane of Wing, AL was the Street Stock winner on Saturday night at Southern Raceway in Milton, FL, and Bobby Chandler won the first-ever Durrence Layne Performance Parts Street Stock Division race on Saturday night at Thunder Valley Speedway in Glenmora, LA.

            The Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division, the Durrence Layne Performance Parts Street Stock Division, and the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Sportsman Division events scheduled for Saturday night at Jackson Motor Speedway in Jackson, MS and at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, MS were both rained out.

            The Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division, the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Sportsman Division, and the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Modified Sportsman Division races scheduled for North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, AL on Saturday night were rained out.

            Drivers competing the Durrence Layne Weekly Racing events compete for both a Track point fund and a National points. Drivers compete against drivers racing at Durrence Layne Racing sanctioned tracks across the country using a National points system over a 27-week season that concludes on September 29.

            A driver’s best 14 weekly point totals count as their season total. The top ten drivers in each of the four Durrence Layne Weekly Racing Series Divisions in National points will earn a seat at the Durrence Layne Racing Annual Awards Banquet to receive a point fund check and a trophy.

            The Durrence Layne Weekly Racing Series four Divisions are designed around one of two economical Chevrolet Performance Circle Track Engines that are built and sealed at the factory to prevent any expensive modifications. The Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division can compete with both engines.

            The Chevrolet Performance 604 Circle Track Engine is a steel-block, aluminum-head 400 horsepower engine that costs $5,895.00. The Chevrolet Performance 602 Engine is a steel-block, steel-head 350 horsepower engine that costs $3,595.

            The Chevrolet Performance 602 Engine is the engine of choice on the Durrence Layne Performance Parts Street Stock Division and the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Modified Sportsman Division. The 602 is the exclusive engine used in the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Sportsman Division.

            The Chevrolet Performance 604 and 602 Engines are in stock and available for free next day delivery anywhere in the Southeast at Durrence Layne Chevrolet, Buick, GMC in Claxton, GA. To place an order call 1-877-497-3624.
