I-75 Raceway Takes Two 2015 NeSmith Late Model Races

Roby Helm
CARTERSVILLE, GA (January 19) - I-75 Raceway in Sweetwater, TN has signed on for two NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring Division races during the 2015 season. I-75 Raceway will host the NeSmith Late Models on Friday night, September 11 with a 40-lap $2,000-to-win race, and a 50-lap $2,500-to-win race on Saturday night, September 12.

The two I-75 Raceway events will bring the total number of races on the 2015 NeSmith Late Model schedule of events to 26. The NeSmith Late Models will be making their first visit to I-75 Raceway, a track that has sat dormant for a number of years before being purchased and reconfigured to a 3/8-mile clay oval last year by Tim and Angie Kyle.

“We’re looking forward to hosting the NeSmith Late Models because it gives us an opportunity to have a special event at an affordable price and give our race fans something that they don’t get to see on a weekly basis,” Tim Kyle said. “There will be many new drivers from several different states making their first appearance at I-75 Raceway, and we’re excited to see that.”

Kyle also noted another maim reason for choosing to promote a NeSmith Late Model race is the series’ reputation in servicing the event with outstanding technical support and public relations before, during and after event.

“Having been a car owner that has entered a race car in past NeSmith Late Model events, I know their technical program under the direction of Tim Sims is second to none, and that every competitor will be on a level playing field,” Kyle said. “Our drivers and sponsors also received an abundance of mentions in press releases and over the P.A. at the races. The NeSmith PR man Roby Helm is from this area, and I know he will help us promote this race and make it a success.”

The NeSmith Racing Series begins its 11th season of operation in 2015 hosting affordable dirt late model racing with cars powered by the economical Chevrolet Performance 604 and 602 Circle Track Engines. This period of successful operation played another factor in the Kyles’ choice of hosting two series events this season.

“The NeSmith Late Models have had a successful run for ten years, and that says a lot about a series,” Kyle said. “There have been a lot of other series that have come and gone during that time period, but NeSmith Racing has continued to be the leader in crate late model racing. We are also looking at becoming a part of the NeSmith Weekly Racing Series for 2016, as they have done a great job over the years in promoting East Tennessee drivers, tracks and their sponsors.”

I-75 Raceway is located 1791 Highway 68, Sweetwater, TN 37874, or 3.6 miles north of I-75 at Exit 60. For more information call (423) 519-3064, or visit the track web site at www.i75raceway.com. You can also like their Facebook page at I-75 Raceway.
