DURRENCE LAYNE CHEVROLET LATE MODEL DIVISION WEEK 17 ROUND UP

ADAIRSVILLE, GA – Week 17 was a good one for Sid Scarbrough of Florence, MS, as he drove the Villa South Special to the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division victory on Friday night at Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, MS. The win put Scarbrough on top of the National point standings with ten weeks to go in the 2019 season.

Cole Cameron of Hattiesburg, MS went into Week 17 with the point lead in the Durrence Layne Chevrolet Late Model Division. An 11th-place finish for Cameron on Friday night in the Cameron Motor Company Special at Hattiesburg Speedway, combined with Scarbrough’s win, dropped him to the second spot in the standings.

Scarbrough has 607 points after four wins, 12 top five finishes, and 16 top ten finishes in 16 races over 13 weeks of competition. Cameron has 603 points after two wins, nine top five finishes, and 12 top ten finishes in 14 events over 13 weeks of racing. Both Scarbrough and Cameron have one more week to earn full points.

A driver can only count their best point total each week as their total for that week.
