Bowman Gray Racing - Hall of Fame 100 - Good Racing and Tempers Too


WINSTON-SALEM, NC – The NASCAR Hall of Fame 100 Modified Race was put off a week after rain delayed the event but this week the skies were clear and the racing was intense.


Tim Brown started on the pole and took the lead on lap one. He was challenged at times by Ronnie Clifton and Michael Clifton but it was Burt Myers who gave Brown the most trouble. Myers in the #1 car was able to get to the bumper of the #83 car time after time but could never mount a run that led to a pass.

Tim Brown led every lap for the win and was greeted in Victory Lane by NASCAR Hall of Famer Jerry Cook.

The Street Stock race was the only race that got any laps in before the rain last week and Taylor Robbins resumed her place as the leader through several green flag runs and restarts until lap 9 when her car quit on her.

Radio communications by Taylor and the crew indicate that she ran out of gas.

Aaron Hylton assumed the lead and went on to win the race.

In the Sportsman Division Michael Adams took victory in the 1st race after nudging Robbie Brewer aside and taking the lead late in the race.

In the 2nd Sportsman Race tempers flared when John Holloman IV got into Robbie Brewer and both cars wrecked down the front stretch. Brewer climbed out of his car after the wreck trying to get to Holloman but track officials held him back.

A firefighter was slightly injured during the melee trying to hold Brewer back when a tow truck hit him on the leg as it pulled up to the scene.

Zack Clifton took the win in the race.

In the Stadium Stock 50-lap event Shane Southard and Brandon Brendle started on the front row. Brendle had brake issues in his #40 car from the very beginning of the race but was able to get the lead and stay there to take the win.
