Strong Qualifying Lap Gives Jeffreys Win at Bowman Gray
Jason Keaton takes checkered in Craftsman Stadium Stock 50

The recent “Madhouse” television show placed a lot of attention on a few select drivers at Bowman Gray Stadium – but Lee Jeffreys of Wallburg is determined to make sure that the fans know his name too.

While Tim Brown of Cana , VA and Burt Myers of Walnut Cove turned in disappointing qualifying times, Jeffreys soared during his qualifying run. The #77 car of Jeffreys had the second fastest time of the night, with the pole going to Terry Gaither of Walkertown.

Jeffreys was able to beat Gaither into turn one during the first lap to take over the lead. He then sped away from the field in dominant fashion to take the checkered for the first 25-lapper for the Bill Plemmons RV World Modified Series.

“It’s a tough one tonight – it’s hot,” said Lee Jeffreys, who understands that the key to his victory on Saturday was his fast qualifying lap. “A lot of the other guys had some problems,” said Jeffreys. “It rained this afternoon and we didn’t know what the track was going to be like. We ended up second in qualifying, we got a good jump on them, and everything worked out well.”

Gaither fell in right behind Jeffreys to take second. John Smith of Mount Airy claimed third.

The race didn’t end so favorably for Jason Myers of Walnut Cove or Junior Miller of Danbury. Myers was bumped out of the way as he and Miller raced. Myers then returned the favor by ramming the car of Miller. Myers was forced to pit.

Miller attempted to race on, despite a bent nerf bar which was applying pressure to his tire and creating a stream of smoke behind the #69 car. When the race restarted, Miller couldn’t keep up the pace and was nudged to the side by Zach Brewer of Winston-Salem .

The Four Seasons Home Improvement “Madhouse Scramble” sent Jonathan Brown of Winston-Salem to the pole for the start of the second Modified race. On the outside pole was Chris Fleming of Mount Airy .

Brown, who had finished in last place in both of last week’s races due to mechanical problems, was aching for a win. He grabbed the lead as the green flag fell but quickly had to deal with shots to the bumper from Fleming. Then, as Brown began to pull away from Fleming, John Smith moved up to second place and put the pressure on Brown.

But the #53 car of Brown was able to stay up front to take the victory. “It’s going to get the whole morale of the team back up, because we’ve been pretty down on ourselves lately. I’m sure everybody will be pumped up after this,” said Brown.

John Smith finished second. Lee Jeffreys, who fought his way up from 10th, finished in third.

In the Webb Heating & A/C Co. Sportsman Series, Taylor Branch of Lewisville brought home the win in the first race. Branch started on the outside of the front row with Ryan Robertson of Winston-Salem on the pole. As the two competitors played mind games during the start of the race, Branch got the jump on Robertson and never looked back. Kyle Edwards of King and Tommy Neal of Walkertown finished second and third.

For the start of the second race, Daniel Beeson of Kernersville and Barry Edwards of Pinnacle were sent to the front row. Beeson shot out into the lead in the beginning, but Edwards was able to finesse his way past Beeson halfway through the race.

Edwards claimed the victory, Kevin Neal of Walkertown took second, and Beeson finished third.

Jody Fritts of Winston-Salem won the 20-lapper for the 104.1 WTQR Street Stock Series. Kenneth Stimpson of Lewisville and Billy Gregg of Winston-Salem finished second and third.

In the Time Warner Cable Stadium Stock Series, Saturday was the Craftsman Stadium Stock 50 – the longest and most prestigious race of the season for the Stadium Stock competitors. Jason Keaton of Mocksville battled with Drew Moffitt of Winston-Salem and Charlie Curry of Lexington , but he was able to defend his lead and claim the checkered. Curry finished right behind him in second, with Jimmy Absher of Rural Hall taking third.

Drew Moffitt qualified on the pole but was later disqualified after post-race mechanical inspection.
