StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Weekly SeriesCurtis Cline of Douglasville, Ga., and Jack Daughtry of Greenville, Ala., picked up StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series wins on Sept. 22. Cline took his fourth win of the season in East Region action at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Ala. Daughtry posted his first win of the season at Butler County Motorsports Park in Greenville, Ala., in the South Region.
There was limited action in Week 26 in StormPay.com competition as the West Region was off because off the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series touring event at Twin Cities Raceway Park in North Vernon, Ind., and there were five rainouts in the South.
With one week remaining in the 2007 season, there are still many spots up for grabs in the top six point fund paying positions in the East, West and South Regions.
Logan Yates of Delta, Ala., continues to lead the StormPay.com East Region with 780 points based on his top 16 finishes in 19 starts. Jimmy Elkins Jr. of Talladega, Ala., is second with 717 points based on his top 16 finishes in 28 starts, and Adam Martin of Talladega, Ala., is third with 701 points based on his top 16 finishes in 19 starts.
Lucky Keeton of Toomsuba, Miss., has all but won his second straight StormPay.com West Region Championship with 786 points based on his top 16 finishes in 25 starts, but the second through sixth spots changed hands over the weekend, as three drivers picked up 10 bonus points for participating at Twin Cities.
Brandon Keeton of Toomsuba, Miss., moved up to the second spot behind his dad with 717 points based on his top 16 finishes in 18 starts with his trip to the Hoosier State. Steve Godsey of Bedford, Ind., moved up to the third spot with 709 points in 16 starts.
Terry Mosley of Gilbertville, Ala., made the trip to Indiana over the weekend to move from sixth to fourth with 708 points based on his top 16 finishes in 17 starts. Larry Murphy of Meridian, Miss., is fifth with 701 points based on his top 16 finishes in 17 starts, and Jamie Pickard of Columbus, Miss., is sixth with 699 points in 16 starts.
Frank Wilson of Milton, Fla., appears to be on his way to the StormPay.com South Region title, as the rainouts have hampered James Ussery’s charge through the top 10. Ussery, of Cottondale, Fla., still has an opportunity to catch Josh Huss of Flomaton, Ala., for the second spot in the final week.
Wilson has 744 points based on his top 16 finishes in 41 starts, and Huss has 707 points based on his top 16 finishes based on his top 16 finishes in 26 starts. Ussery used his 16th start of the season with a seventh-place effort at Butler County Motorsports Park to move into the third spot with 696 points.
