Under the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series sanction,

Track owner Dennis Harker said he will be looking forward to
seeing his friend and 2007 NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series
Rookie of the Year Chip Brindle of Chatsworth, GA competing at Green
Valley Speedway in 2008.
“We’re looking forward to our involvement with the NeSmith
Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series, and the Weekly Racing Series, as
Chip Brindle is a good friend of mine, and he has always been most
positive about the series,” Harker said.
“I think the NeSmith Chevrolet Weekly Racing Series will help
our car count with its consistency in the rules which makes things
easier for both the competitors and our officials.”
The NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series and the Weekly
Racing Series feature dirt late models powered by the economical GM
Performance Crate Engine that are built and sealed at the GM factory
to prevent any expensive modifications, and are shipped and made
available at GM dealers nationwide.
The 400 horsepower aluminum-head 604 engine can be purchased
for right at $5,000, and the 350 horsepower steel-head 602 engine can
be purchased for right at $3,000.
The GM Performance 602 Crate Engine also receives a 150-pound
weight break and a one inch larger carburetor spacer over the 604
engine.
