08/22/12 - Brown Grab Title; Myers Takes Checkered at Bowman Gray

[RGeeProductions]

The stands erupted in cheers and boos on Saturday at Bowman Gray Stadium as two rivals both got what
they wanted: Burt Myers of Walnut Cove took the win with Tim Brown of Rural Hall claiming his record-breaking ninth championship.

Myers qualified on the pole for the Brad’s Golf Cars Modified Series and shot out into an early lead when the green flag waved. He fought
off four outside row challenges from Jonathan Brown of Winston-Salem in the opening laps. Dean Ward of Winston-Salem slipped by Jonathan Brown to
take over second place, and was soon pressuring Myers.

Ward had already had an emotional day: he had buried his father earlier in the morning. His desire to win was evident. As he and Myers
approached lapped traffic, Ward saw his opportunity and dashed past the #1 car of Myers.

Myers tried to take back the top position from the outside row, but Ward’s defense was strong. The tables turned, though, as the two
again came up to lapped cars – and Myers finessed his way back into the lead.

“I didn’t want to push the car too hard because I knew we had 150 laps,” said Myers. “When Dean got by me in traffic, I tried to conserve
a little bit. I wanted to run him down and race him when we caught traffic again so I could maybe get the position back on him.”

Ward and Jonathan Brown tried again to grab the lead away, but Myers held on to take the final checkered flag of the season.

“Since ‘98 when I won my first race, I’ve won at least two races a year. And coming into tonight, I had only won one. I was thinking that
maybe this could be the worst season I’ve had since I won my first race,” said Myers. “To sit on the pole and win the race tonight, I think it
shows that the #1 car is back.”

Jonathan Brown finished second, with Jason Myers of Walnut Cove finishing in third. Jason, the younger of the Myers brothers, was hoping
to take his first Modified championship in 2012.

But Tim Brown’s consistent performance this season gave him a respectable lead: Brown needed to only finish in the top 12 to clinch the
title. Brown finished ninth.

“I definitely want to win, but the championship is the most important thing when it’s the last race of the year,” said Brown. “We were
playing conservative tonight and just picked up what we had to do to get this ninth title.”

Stadium legend Ralph Brinkley previously held the record for most Modified championships at the Stadium with eight titles. Brown
shattered that record by taking his ninth championship on Saturday, giving him more Stadium championships than any other driver in the 64-year
history of Bowman Gray Stadium.

“I don’t know how to explain it. I grew up here as a kid watching Ralph race, and I never even dreamed about winning – I just wanted to
do it. To come out here and actually do it and beat Ralph’s record – it’s just amazing,” said Brown.

Not only did Brown have to battle every lap to conserve position, but he had the extra pressure of dealing with extreme back pain. “I’ve
got a bad lower part of my back. It’s got some discs that are busted up a little bit, and they flare up every now and then,” said Brown. “I’ve
been taking muscle relaxers and medicine all week and trying to rest as much as possible. When I got here today it felt pretty good. But as soon
as the race got started, I got one hit in the bumper and it flared it up. It was all I could do to hang on. Pain-wise, it was terrible.”

Jason Myers finished the season ranked second in the points, with Jonathan Brown of Winston-Salem coming in third.

In the Webb Heating & A/C Co. Sportsman Series, Taylor Branch of Lewisville grabbed the checkered in a wild 40-lapper. Derek Stoltz of
Walkertown claimed the championship in a nail-biter of a points race, finishing just one point ahead of Jeff Garrison.
Billy Gregg of Lexington sailed smoothly into the championship for the Q104.1 New Country Street Stock Series. John Holleman of Winston-
Salem led the way to take the checkered.

In the Summer Shootout Stadium Stock Series, Charlie Curry of Welcome was able to recover after a collision to finish 11th and take the
championship. Chris Allison of Mocksville grabbed the checkered flag.
