| NLMS, a constant staple in South Georgia Racing Lore |
When you have been instrumental in helping a man's vision be realized on how a series should Develop, Thrive and Become THE Household Name in South Georgia Racing. You've accomplished a feat far fewer before you have. Donnie Brown has done that and the passionate truths he holds in his heart about our sport will enable him to do so again!!!
The vaunted National Late Model Series would show up at any given venue with 50-60+ LLMs in tow wanting to make Ray Miller's Show. BIG Names followed religiously where this series led. Names including "The Professor" Ivedent Lloyd Jr, "JAX Juggernaut" Jason Fitzgerald, "The Gambler" Russell Brown Jr, "Magicman" Mark Whitener, "FlatFoot'n" Casey Barrow and more. These Racers along with everyone in the elbow room only Grand Stands knew fully a third of these elite Wheelmen would make the A Main. They also knew every Man Jack of them would be treated exactly the same way. No Matter who you were.

| Series Director, Donnie Brown promotes some of the Best Side by Side Racing |
Recent years had bore witness to Ray Miller's decline in health casting an uncertain shadow over the series as a whole and dates began disappearing from the series calendar. Not wanting to see his dream diminished further, Ray tagged the shoulder of his Right Hand Man, a man who has been by his side since the beginning, Donnie Brown. Strict Instructions were included with this commission: Carry on and make all that was Right, Right Again!!!
