Burt Myers achieved a significant milestone at Bowman Gray on Saturday, breaking an 11-year-old record in the Modified division. By securing his win, Myers became the most successful driver in the Modified category at the track with 107 victories. This achievement places him atop the record books, surpassing long-time rival Tim Brown, who previously held the record for the most Modified wins since May 30, 2015.
The excitement surrounding the event was amplified by the Twin-50 feature. Myers successfully won the pole for the race and managed the redraw to keep that top position, leading the entire first main run to his victory. This performance solidified his status as a dominant force, especially as he tied the record last week with a win in a 100-lap feature.
Myers’ strategy for future success centers on maintaining the lead. He believes that staying out front and on the pole allows him to dictate the pace and race flow, which he feels is crucial for championship contention. Despite the intense rivalry with Brown, the two drivers have managed to remain exceptionally clean throughout the season, demonstrating a professional approach to competition.
While Myers collected his 107th Modified win, Jordan Flemming also made history by securing his first career Modified victory in the second Twin-50. This win marks another historic moment for the stadium, adding to the rich history of the Bowman Gray Speedway.
