Bowman Gray Stadium’s Market USA 100 to offer Fans’ Challenge money

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Bowman Gray Stadium is offering a little “Madhouse Education” for college students — for only $2. This Saturday, June 21, the Market USA 100 will offer Fans’ Challenge money for the Brad’s Golf Cars Modified Series drivers, and college students can show their IDs at any ticket gate and get in to see the races for $2. The Fans’ Challenge always adds an exciting challenge. The top-four time trial qualifiers will get a chance to take the Fans’ Challenge and win — or split — $6,000 by dropping to the rear and trying to get back into the top four when the checkered flag falls. Two drivers who practically have doctorates in how to win at Bowman Gray Stadium are Burt Myers and Tim Brown, who come into the Market USA 100 tied atop the all-time wins list at 101 victories. “I keep saying that it doesn’t matter if it’s 101, 102 (wins) — whatever,” Burt Myers said, “I’m just going to try and keep winning as many as I can.” Added Brown: “I’m not really thinking about wins lists or any of that other stuff. Our team needs to get faster. Period.” Burt Myers brother, Jason Myers, won the pole for the postponed Elite Underground Utility Twin 50s last week and was the only driver who took the Fans’ Challenge. His qualifying effort will stand for the Market USA 100, and he’ll get a chance to make his decision final or change his mind Saturday. “My mother told me I should keep the pole, and that kind of made my decision to take the Fans’ Challenge,” Jason Myers chuckled. Gates open at 6 p.m. ET Saturday night with racing action to start at 8 p.m. ET. Fans can get tickets online at www.bowmangrayracing.com. Tickets are $12 for adults and $2 for college students and kids ages 6 to 11.
