(Bowman Gray Stadium, Winston-Salem, NC) For the second week in a row, Burt Myers of Walnut Cove found himself battling outside-row challengers for restart after restart. And on Saturday – for the second week in a row – Myers was able to maintain his composure and come away with the checkered flag.
            Tim Brown of Cana, VA had the fastest qualifying lap for Saturday’s Whelen 100 for the Bill Plemmons RV World Modified Series. But when the competitors had a full-field draw for starting positions, it was Myers who plucked the pole as his starting spot. On the outside row beside Myers was Jonathan Brown of Winston-Salem – a competitor that has had a history of run-ins and hard racing with the Myers team.
            As the green flag waved, Myers shot out into the lead – but a series of cautions gave Brown a few more chances to pull up beside Myers for another shot. In fact, with 5 cautions before lap 60, Myers had to again and again perform flawlessly to defend his lead.
            “If you can start on the inside of the front row, it’s up to you – it’s your race to lose,” said Myers. “With Jonathan running on the outside, he had to have me make a major mistake in order to clear me. So I knew that if I could just keep hitting my marks - it may take a lap or two - but I could eventually clear him.”
            Although Brown was unable to complete a pass for the lead, he raced many times side-by-side with Myers – and more than once he delivered a few stout taps to Myers’ bumper. “I was definitely faster than Burt right through the center of the corner. I could roll in there and hit him a little bit,” said Brown. “The car was good. I felt like we were better than Burt in the long run but we just kept having those cautions.”
            Realizing that the track conditions on the outside groove were starting to not favor his car setup, Brown opted not to choose the outside lane and challenge Brown for the remaining four cautions of the night. Instead, Lee Jeffreys of Wallburg was given the chance to pull up and fight for the lead. With a 12th place starting position, the outside row was something that Jeffreys used each and every time to claw his way through the field. “We didn’t have anything for Burt. We wore out what we had trying to get there, and he could just run what he needed to,” said Jeffreys.
            Myers went on to claim the checkered with Jeffreys taking over second place. Jonathan Brown finished third.
            In the Webb Heating & A/C Co. Sportsman Series, hard-charging Derek Stoltz of Walkertown claimed checkered in the first 20-lap race. Steven Truell of Midway finished second, and Luke Fleming of Mount Airy took third.
            Joseph “Bobo” Brown of Winston-Salem initially claimed the win in the second Sportsman race. However, Brown failed to submit to post-race technical inspection – and Mitch Gales of Thomasville was declared the winner. Tommy Neal of Walkertown and Ronnie Clifton of Walkertown finished in second and third.
            Brian Wall of Winston-Salem brought home the win in the 20-lap race for the 104.1 WTQR Street Stock Series. It was Wall’s first win ever at the Stadium. Zack Clifton of Walkertown came in second with Allen Henkel of Trinity close behind in third.
            In the Time Warner Cable Stadium Stock Series, veteran Gerald Robertson of Germanton showed the young guns how it’s done by taking the victory in the first 15-lapper. Wayne Hill of Kernersville claimed the checkered in the second race.
