WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Historic moments can happen on any given night at Bowman Gray Stadium.
Burt Myers proved that by winning his 100th Brad’s Golf Cars Modified Series race, and—given how strong he’s been in long races this season—Myers has more than a fighting chance to tie Tim Brown atop the all-time wins list if he can capture the Elite Underground Utility 100 trophy this Saturday.
“But we’ve talked about it, we’ve won three weeks in a row,” Myers says. “Should’ve won the first week, had a shot to win the next week. We are just a couple bad breaks from being five in a row. So, we’ve got a good car, we’ve got a great team, but this is still Bowman Gray.”
Meanwhile, Brown says he’s worn out on hearing about Myers racking up wins, and he’s hungry for one of his own.
“People keep after me and asking why I’m letting Burt win these races,” Brown says, “Let’s be clear: I’m not letting Burt do anything, but we’re not going to improve our own season by worrying about what everyone else is doing.”
The Fans’ Challenge is back in play, and one driver could pocket a $6,000 bonus. Third-place points driver Mike Speeney is among those expected to take the challenge if he gets a chance.
“I keep saying it, but we’re out there just having fun, and it’s a neat thing to do for the fans,” Speeney says.
The Law Offices of John Barrow Sportsman, QRC HVAC & Refrigeration Street Stock, and Q104.1 Stadium Stock Series drivers will also be in action.
Gates open at 6 p.m. Saturday night with racing action to start at 8 p.m. Fans can get tickets online right now at www.bowmangrayracing.com. Tickets are $12 for adults and $2 for kids ages 6 to 11.
