Bowman Gray returns to action with $9,000 Fans’ Challenge

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Bowman Gray Stadium is back in action this Saturday night with its second Double Points Night this season, and a lot of money up for grabs. The Brad’s Golf Cars Modified Series drivers will face a $9,000 Fans’ Challenge in the July 12 Traffic Control Safety Services 100. One driver expected to take the Fans’ Challenge is Chris Fleming, who just won his first race this season on June 28, but now is looking to pad his wallet this weekend. “Look, we’re not running for points,” Fleming said. “We’re here for our fans, and they deserve a good show. “We finally cashed in on the speed we’ve been gaining, so I think we can cash that Fans’ Challenge check (on Saturday).” Meanwhile, Burt Myers and Tim Brown will look to break their tie on top of the all-time Brad’s Golf Cars Modified Series wins list. Both had chances to get win No. 102 on June 28, but ran out of time to make a winning pass. “That’s part of it,” Myers says, “you’re not going to win them all, but we’ve definitely had chances to win every race we’ve been in this year.” Fans will also be treated to a parachute jump from the Special Forces Parachute Team, and one lucky fan will win a John Deere lawn mower. 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.
