MYERS EARNS 14th COORS LIGHT POLE
Burt Myers has made a habit of being fast in qualifying. Saturday, he
scored his 14th Coors Light Pole in the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified
Tour – twice as many as any other driver – at Caraway Speedway.
Myers covered the .455-mile oval in 16.199 seconds and was
the only driver to break 101 mph at 101.117 in qualifying for Saturday
night’s Whelen Southern Modified 150. It was Myers’ seventh career pole
at Caraway.
The post-qualifying re-draw wasn’t as kind to Myers. First he
drew the No. 10 pill, which means the top 10 drivers re-drew for
starting position. And then he drew a No. 7, forcing him to start the
No. 1 JRC Investments Ford on the fourth row. John Smith (No. 25
Tutterow Surveying Chevrolet) and Andy Seuss (No. 47 Advance Auto Parts
Dodge) make up the front row.
Seuss is back on track after a wreck ended his Friday night
at Ace Speedway on lap 1.
Brian Loftin (16.312/100.417) qualified second, followed by
Tim Brown (16.333/100.288). Loftin will start seventh and Brown 10th.
L.W. Miller, who has won the first two races of the season, qualified
fifth and will start fourth.
