Bowman Gray Stadium Fans’ Challenge returns for FOX 8 WGHP 100 this Saturday night

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The summer swelter brought hot tempers to Bowman Gray Stadium, and that’s expected to continue with more money on the line. The Fans’ Challenge returns Saturday, Aug. 2 for the Brad’s Golf Cars Modified Series FOX 8 WGHP 100, and it’ll carry a $3,000 jackpot after Chris Fleming cashed in on the previous $9,000 prize on July 12. Meanwhile, Mike Speeney was expected to pay back Burt Myers for contact in a Twin 25 race on July 19, and followed through in the first Twin 25 on July 26 – an incident that cost Myers and Speeney more ground to Brad’s Golf Cars Modified Series points leader Brandon Ward. “This is one (Burt Myers) can’t talk his way out of,” Speeney said. “I told him we’d get him back, and he’s going to learn he can’t mess with me.” Speeney considers the score settled, but also says any further contact will carry the feud on longer. “This doesn’t just apply to Burt. It’s a statement that I’m not going to be pushed around for being the nice guy,” Speeney said. Myers says he’s ready to move on. “We’ve been strong in these 100-lappers, so we’re focused on winning another one,” Myers said. 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.
