MYERS MAKES IT COUNT AT CARAWAY
Veteran Maintains Points Lead After Second Win Of Season |
 After
the start he's had to the 2016 NASCAR Whelen
Southern Modified Tour season Burt Myers probably
wishes the annual spring break wasn't around the
corner.
Myers, who recorded only two wins in his previous 54
starts at Caraway Speedway, was able to hold off his
brother Jason on a green-white-checkered finish to
score his second straight win at the track.
Danny Bohn won the Coors Light Pole Award and led
the first six laps of the race before Burt Myers was
able to get past him and stay out front until he
made a pit stop during the first caution of the race
on Lap 107.
After pit stops Burt Myers remained in the top-five
until he was able to pass Bohn once again for the
lead on Lap 145 just before Bryan Dauzat brought out
the third and final caution of the race on Lap 146
to set up the finish.
Burt held a slight led over Jason after they took
the white flag as Dauzat spun in Turn 3 ending the
race.
Bohn came home third with Andy Seuss and George
Brunnhoelzl III completing the top five.
Rounding out the top-10 was Kyle Bonsignore, J.R.
Bertuccio, Kyle Ebersole, Bobby Measmer Jr. and
Dauzat.
The Dogwood 150 was the fourth consecutive race this
season with at least five or more lead changes with
Burt Myers leading the most laps with 107.
The 2010 champion maintains his points lead with a
nine-point advantage over Brunnhoelzl (181-172) with
Seuss third at 163.
The southern tour will now take a break until it
returns to Caraway Speedway on July 1.
