WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Bowman Gray Stadium’s version of The Hatfields and McCoys —Burt Myers and Tim Brown — has a new wrinkle heading into QRC HVAC & Refrigeration Night.
Myers has a shot at tying Brown’s record 101 Brad’s Golf Cars Modified Series wins on Saturday, June 7 after he picked up his 100th win on May 24. Myers is thinking more about wins that got away earlier in the season.
“Should’ve won the first week, had a shot to win the next week,” Myers says.
“We’re 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.”
Brown is less concerned with stopping Myers from tying his record and more concerned with gaining speed.
“The track has been really green a lot this year, so it’s been tougher than normal for us to figure things out on the setup,” Brown says. “And we’re not going to do that by worrying about how everyone else is running.”
Meanwhile, the Q104.1 Stadium Stock Series drivers will compete in their longest race this season — a 50-lapper — on Saturday, and the ever-popular Chain Race returns to delight fans. The Law Offices of John Barrow Sportsman and QRC HVAC & Refrigeration Street Stock Series will also compete.
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.
