BURT MYERS
CLAIMS “FALL BRAWL 125” WIN AT ORANGE COUNTY
Kernersville, NC
Driver Claims Second Series Win & Extends Point Lead |
 The
“Fall Brawl ...125” for the KOMA Unwind Modified
Madness Series changed from a brawl into a battle
for Burt Myers Saturday night as he had to battle
from deep in the pack after a long caution period
pit stop in the return to Orange County Speedway for
the first time in six years to one of the best
crowds of the season at the super-fast 3/8 mile
track.
Myers qualified his Modified on the pole for the
event followed by his brother Jason, Spencer Davis
and Tim Brown but it was no walk-in-the-park for the
win.
B. Myers grabbed the point at the start and Davis
slipped into second on the opening lap and hounded
Myers for a couple more laps before a power move put
the Dawsonville, GA driver in the lead for the next
63.
That reign came to an end on lap 66 when someone
dumped a water bottle in the turn four groove
bringing out the second caution period of the night.
Most of the front running teams headed to pit road
under the caution period for a fresh Hoosier tire
and adjustments to their cars. Most were quick stops
but B. Myers stayed on pit road for some extra
adjustments as well as his tire change.
When racing resumed, Bobby Sheffield was at the
point but that was short lived as Davis charged back
to the point on the lap after the green flag flew.
Davis held the top spot with Brewer, Brown, the
Myers Brothers, Johnny Sutton and Jeremy Mayfield
banging it out for the next spots. A great night for
Davis came to an end on lap 85 when the right front
tire went down on the Hillbilly Racing Modified
sending Davis hard into the turn three wall. He was
unhurt, except for his pride, but the #79 was
finished for the night.
Brewer took over the lead and appeared headed
towards another KOMA Unwind win but the caution flew
again three laps later when the Propst Racing team
took the hard luck award of the night when team cars
driven by Danny Propst and Mark Johnson tangled on
the front stretch collecting the cars of Tom Buzze
and “Tiger” Tommy Neal. Neal continued but Buzze,
Propst and Johnson were eliminated.
Brewer grabbed the lead on the restart but the
caution allowed Myers to stay close with Jason Myers
right behind and Brown and Sutton giving chase. B.
Myers stalked Brewer before powering past entering
turn three on lap 105.
It was clear sailing from there as he finished .749
seconds ahead of Brewer, Jason Myers and a fast
closing Brown. Sutton rounded out the top five with
Mayfield in sixth and Mike Norman in seventh for his
best KOMA Unwind finish. Sheffield, Mike Speeney and
Neal rounded out the top ten.
The Southern Modified Race Tour KOMA Unwind Modified
Madness Series wraps up the inaugural season at
Myrtle Beach Speedway on November 22 & 23 with the
Late Model Stocks in the “Myrtle Beach 400” weekend.
