MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Team AmeriVet is thrilled to announce its participation in the NASCAR Cup Series’ historic return to Bowman Gray Stadium for the highly anticipated Cook Out Clash. Driving the No. 50 Citrusafe Chevrolet and making his NASCAR Cup Series debut will be none other than legendary short-track ace Burt Myers.
Myers is no stranger to the hallowed grounds of Bowman Gray. His exceptional record includes track championships in the 1999, 2001, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2023 and 2024 seasons as the track Modified Tour Champion.

“I’m very excited to be a part of such a monumental event,” said Myers. “Every short-track driver dreams of an opportunity like this. For mine to happen at my home track and to be able to continue my NASCAR family legacy means the world to me.”

Continuing to call the shots as crew chief for the No. 50 in this event is another name enriched in NASCAR history, Tony Eury Jr.
“I’m looking forward to going to the stadium with Burt,” said Eury. “We have won a lot of races together in our FURY modified over the years, and to be a part of this historic event with a driver like Burt, it’s hard not to be excited.”
Team owner Rebecca Auchmoody shared her enthusiasm for the event.
“I couldn’t be more excited to kick off the racing season at The Clash with Burt Myers,” she said. “This event will help us grow as a team with Burt’s experience and Tony Jr. as crew chief; it will contribute towards improving team performance. It’s also an incredible opportunity for us to continue our mission of supporting veterans through our 50 Vets a Week program. Last season, we were proud to relieve $125,000 in veteran debt after the race in Phoenix, and our goal this time is to exceed that amount. Each race gives us a platform to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those who have served, and we can’t wait to see what we can achieve together at The Clash.”
Team AmeriVet is proud to have the support of its sponsors for this event, including Citrusafe Cleaners, Pinnacle Finance Partners, C3 Pressure Washing Store of Concord, ForgiveCo, and AmeriVet Securities. Their contributions are instrumental in making this historic event possible and advancing the team’s mission both on and off the track.
