Championship hopeful ties Burt Myers for the top spot in the Modifieds.
Jonathan Brown of Winston-Salem threw his hat in the ring as a championship contender on Saturday. Brown
claimed the checkered in the Kevin Powell Motorsports 100, tying him with Burt Myers of Walnut Cove for the points lead in the Brad’s Golf Cars
Modified Series.
Brown credits his strong performance to his new race team and new car. “I’ve got new car owners – Darrell and Brandy Jones,” said Brown.
“It really helps out that they’ve put me in top notch equipment.”
“I definitely knew I had a car that would be hard to beat unless I just messed up myself,” said Brown after drawing the pole as his
starting spot in the 100-lapper. “So more than anything, I had to keep myself calm inside the car.”
Knowing that he would have to tangle in multiple double-file restarts, Brown hoped to strategically conserve his tires. The extra
horsepower in his new car allowed him to do just that, enabling him to retake the lead after John Smith stole it mid-race.
Burt Myers, who started fifth, managed to finish sixth. Myers loses some ground in the points, while Brown moves up to tie him for the
top spot on the points ladder. “It was a tough night at Bowman Gray,” said Myers. “We had to battle it out and hang in there – but we ended up
with a decent finish.”
This early in the season, Myers says he doesn’t think about the points battle yet. “You want to stay within striking distance,” said
Myers. “But right now, you just go out there to win races.”
Brown, on the other hand, has been thinking about the points championship since the first green flag of the season. “You’ve got to come
over here and think about points from lap one,” said Brown. “I tell my guys before every race starts that every lap could be the championship.
One point could be the deciding factor.”
Jason Myers of Walnut Cove flew through the field, climbing from 16th up to a fifth place finish. He drops from second in the points to
third – just three points out of the lead. Lee Jeffreys of Wallburg moves up to fourth in the points after an eighth place finish.
In the Webb Heating & A/C Co. Sportsman Series, Bryant Robertson of Lexington leaps up into the points lead. Jeff Garrison of Arcadia
climbs from fourth up to second – just four points under Robertson. Gary Ledbetter of Lexington drops from the points lead down to fourth after
being involved in an early wreck.
Billy Gregg of Winston-Salem moves up to lead the rankings for the Q104.1 New Country Street Stock Series. Doug Wall of Pfafftown won on
Saturday, taking him from fourth up to second in the points. And bad news for another points leader: a last-lap collision relegated John Holleman
to a 13th place finish, dropping him from the top of the points ladder down to fourth.
In the Summer Shootout Stadium Stock Series, Derek Taylor of Yadkinville ties Charlie Curry of Lexington for the points lead. A.J.
Sanders’s win on Saturday moves him up to second in the rankings.
This Saturday night is the biggest night of the year for the Q104.1 New Country Street Stock Series – it’s the USG Street Stock 50. There will
also be racing for the Modified, Sportsman, and Street Stock Divisions – plus another 109 U-Pull-It Train Race.
Gates open at 6:00 for practice, qualifying begins at 6:50, and the first race begins at 8:00 PM – this Saturday night. Ticket prices,
