Myers Banks Pole
Captures 18th career Coors Light Pole Award
Concord, NC — Burt Myers picked a perfect event to get his 18th career Coors Light Pole Award. Myers, who added Capital Bank as a sponsor on the side of this No. 1 Modified, posted the top qualifying time for Saturday’s Capital Bank 150 at Concord Speedway.
Myers’s time of 15.181 seconds around the half-mile tri-oval was good for 118.569 mph. Myers’ record number of poles is 10 more than second-place Tim Brown.
“I feel like Jimmie Johnson at Lowe’s,” Myers said. “We couldn’t be more excited.”
Ronnie Silk (No. 79 Hill Enterprises/Coors Light/Sunoco Pontiac) qualified second at 15.226 (118.219), followed by Ted Christopher (No. 00 Sherm’s Towing Chevrolet) at 15.231 (118.180).
The top six qualifiers redrew for starting position. The only spots to change were Christopher to start second and Silk third.
Rowan Pennink, Frank Fleming and Andy Seuss rounded out the top six qualifiers for the first NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour race at Concord.
