Jason Myers, Danny Bohn Grab Wins at Bowman Gray
(Bowman Gray Stadium, Winston-Salem, NC) “To be the best, you’ve got to beat the best,” said Jason Myers of Walnut Cove. “And we may not be the best next week, but I feel like we were the best tonight.”
Myers qualified on the pole for the Brad’s Golf Cars Modified Series and grabbed the victory in the first race in dominant fashion. It was his second win, but most impressively it was his fourth pole of the season – twice more than any other competitor.
His qualifying performance is what Myers credits with much of his 2015 success. After all, with Saturday’s first Modified race starting strictly by qualifying times, a fast lap was what put Myers out ahead from the beginning.
“We’ve got a super fast racecar, and in qualifying you have to be fast,” said Myers. “We don’t work on our qualifying setup. It worked the first week, so we just keep doing the same thing and hope it stays good.”
Jason was able to get a strong jump from the beginning as second-place-starter Dean Ward of Winston-Salem battled for position with third-place-starter Burt Myers of Walnut Cove. Then without any cautions in the race, Jason rarely had to worry about any pressure from behind.
“We got a little bit away from them on the start when second and third were racing – and with no cautions we were able to keep it. And when you get a good lead over here and you’ve got a good car, you don’t put yourself in a position to overdrive it. Overdriving it will kill you
over here. You’ve just got to be smooth and fast, and that’s what we did,” said Myers. “Burt got a little close there at one time, but we caught lapped traffic. He caught them in the wrong spot – and we were able to get back to where we were.”
Older brother Burt Myers finished behind Jason in second. “The trophy still came back to our shop. I’ve always said if I can’t win, I want Jason to win,” said Burt Myers.
The “Madhouse Scramble” sent Brad Robbins of Winston-Salem to the pole with last year’s champion Danny Bohn starting on the outside front-row. Bohn has moved back up to his hometown in New Jersey to pursue his career, but he came back to the Madhouse for a brief stint –
one he obviously didn’t regret.
Bohn shot out into the lead from the moment the green waved, and a particular point of pride was winning in his family car: one that is an ancient relic by racing standards. “My dad built this car in 1991 and we haven’t changed anything,” said Bohn. “We started second, and I was
on cruise control.”
In the Farm Bureau Insurance Sportsman Series, Taylor Branch of Lewisville won in an absolutely wild first 20-lap race. Derek Stoltz of Walkertown was involved in a wreck as he fought for the lead in the first race. But Stoltz was able to fix his car to come back and grab the
checkered for the second Sportsman race.
Kirk Sheets of Horneytown won the Q104.1 New Country Street Stock Series race after tangling with Derrick Rice of Kernersville.
Saturday was the big one for the McDowell Heating & Air Stadium Stock Series: their annual Stadium Stock 50-lapper. Brandon Brendle of Winston-Salem was the fastest qualifier and ended up taking the victory. Brendle had been up and down in the field and got aggressive
at just the right time, taking to the outside row to challenge in the last double-file restart. Brendle passed by Chuck Wall of Lexington to take the win.
