Burt Myers Takes Slim Points Lead at Bowman Gray
2010 shaping up to be much stronger for Myers than 2009.

(Bowman Gray Stadium, Winston-Salem, NC) Burt Myers started off last season at Bowman Gray Stadium with a streak of mechanical problems and bad luck, putting the Walnut Cove resident behind in the points race. He came on strong at the end of the season but could never overcome the points gap between him and Tim Brown of Cana, VA.
            Now in 2010, Myers is smiling. Three races into the season, he’s passed Tim Brown for the points lead in the Bill Plemmons RV World Modified Series. Myers qualified third in the first scheduled 25-lapper last Saturday, while Brown only managed a sixth place qualifying effort.
            As the race started, Myers darted past Randy Butner of Pfafftown to claim second – and then proceeded to put the pressure on pole-starter Lee Jeffreys of Wallburg. Jeffreys would defend the lead, giving Myers a second-place finish.
            The performance allowed Myers to claim the points lead. But a fifth place finish by Tim Brown puts him only one point behind Myers.
            As if the points race wasn’t tight enough, Lee Jeffreys’ win on Saturday moves him up to tie Brown for second in the points – putting him within easy striking distance of the points lead. Jeffreys has made it his aim to show that he’s as strong of a competitor as the drivers who receive so much attention on television – and moving this close to the points lead has certainly done that.
            In the Webb Heating & A/C Co. Sportsman Series, hard-charging Derek Stoltz of Walkertown fought his way through the field to claim an 11th- and second-place finish on Saturday, strengthening his points lead.
            Ryan Robertson of Winston-Salem moves up to second with a ninth and an eighth place finish. Michael Adams of Yadkinville drops down to third in the points after finishing 18th and 9th.
            Reigning Champion Ronnie Clifton of Walkertown took the checkered in the second Sportsman race of last event, boosting him from 14th up to 7th in the points, and Pinnacle resident Barry Edwards’ third and fourth place finishes move him from ninth up to fourth in the points.
            The K&N Filters Street Stock 50, the longest and most prestigious race of the season for the 104.1 WTQR Street Stock Series, was postponed due to rain on Saturday. Last season’s Rookie-of-the-Year Zack Clifton of Walkertown had the fastest qualifying lap. After the top six qualifiers redrew for starting position, veteran Doug Wall plucked the pole as his starting spot.
            In the Time Warner Cable Stadium Stock Series, one of the scheduled two races was completed on Saturday. However, the rain postponed the completion of the second race, meaning that the points races won’t be updated until after this Saturday’s racing.
            This Saturday is the fast and furious USG Modified 50 for the Bill Plemmons RV World Modified Series. The top 6 qualifiers will redraw for starting position, and the Double-File “Choice” Restart Rule will be in effect. The action-packed night, featuring racing for all four divisions, is presented by 100.3 the Buzz – and don’t forget about the 109 U-Pull-It Chain Race at the end of the night. Gates open at 6:00 for practice, qualifying begins at 7:10, and the first race begins at 8:00 PM – this Saturday night.
