Brandon Butler of Richmond, Va., won his way to the top of the standings in the Atlantic Seaboard Region of the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series in the 2001 season.

Butler will collect over $41,900 for winning the regional battle and finishing sixth in the nation with nine wins and 18 top-five finishes in 19 events. Butler competes in the NWRS Late Model Stock Car division at South Boston (Va.) Motor Speedway.

Butler battled throughout the season with Doug Godsey of Richmond, Va., who races at Southampton Motor Speedway in Capron, Va., and Dustin Storm of Prince Frederick, Md., who races at Old Dominion Speedway in Manassas, Va., for the top spot in the Atlantic Seaboard Region.

The trio was grouped together and battled for the lead throughout the season with Butler and Godsey swapping the regional lead on several occasions.
