Southern Modified Legend Burt Myers Makes Cup Series Debut At Martinsville
1 day agoBurt Myers makes his debut in Sunday's Martinsville race for Team AmeriVet. Myers, the grandson of Billy Myers, a two-time Cup Series winner, has been one of the most prolific modified drivers in the South in the 21st century, winning 10 track championships at Bowman Gray Stadium and numerous modified titles -- most notably the 2010 and 2016 NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour titles before that series merged into the Northern Modified Tour in 2017. He also won that series' predecessor series, the SMART Tour in 2002, and won it twice more in 2021 and 2023 after it was revived without NASCAR sanction. Having said that, with his lack of experience in the Cup Series and Team AmeriVet being probably the slowest team in the series, it should come as no surprise that Myers qualified last. Don't expect him to do much more in the race.
