CARNESVILLE, GA – The first family of Georgia racing promoters, the Swims Family, will put up $37,000 in prize money this weekend in a pair of 40-lap $4,000-to-win, $400-to-start ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series South East Region races. Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, GA is in action on Saturday night, and Rome Speedway in Rome, GA has the race on Sunday night.

The complete payout for each race is as follows: 1. $4,000; 2. $2,000; 3. $1,350; 4. $1,000; 5. $875; 6. $775; 7. $700; 8. $600; 9. $500; 10. $450; 11. $425; 12. $400; 13. $400; 14. $400; 15. $400; 16. $400; 17. $400; 18. $400; 19. $400; 20. $400; 21. $400; 22. $400; 23. $400; 24. $400.

The Patriarch of the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame Inducted family, Mickey Swims, will add $1,000 to all of that if a driver can win both races. A $4,000 win at Dixie Speedway and Rome Speedway, a $200 M&W Transport “Haulin’ It” Fast Time at both tracks, and Mickey’s Big Bonus of $1,000 means a driver that sweeps the weekend can earn a possible $9,400.

In addition to the run for the big bucks, a tight battle for the ULTIMATE SE Championship is being waged between Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, GA and Jason Welshan of Maryville, TN. Just three points separate the top two drivers in the ULTIMATE SE standings.
