Perspective
In 1952, Bobby Myers, Burt's great uncle, set the record for the youngest driver ever to win a Stadium title at the age of 25. Bobby won sixteen races and one championship in 1952. Five years later, in 1957, Bobby was killed in a crash at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina while driving for Lee Petty. Billy Myers was Burt Myers' grandfather and he ranks twentieth with 22 victories on Bowman Gray Stadium's Modified All-Time Wins List, and he has won three championships ('51,'53,'55). Billy died at Bowman Gray Stadium. In 1999, Myers broke his great uncle's record of being the youngest Bowman Gray Stadium track champion in history at the age of 23, and would go on to win ten more titles in 2001, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2024.[4]
Burt's father, Gary Myers, is the second generation of Myers' to compete at Bowman Gray Stadium.[4] Gary ranks seventh on the stadium's all-time victory list with a total of thirty-eight (38) wins. In addition, he was the 1996 champion on the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour.
In 2009, Myers made his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut at Martinsville Speedway in the Kroger 200. He drove the No. 07 JRC Investments / Wyatt Winstead Foundation Chevrolet owned by Ken Smith. He would start seventeenth and finish nineteenth, one lap down.
Myers was put on probation by NASCAR for the 2009 racing season at Bowman Gray Stadium, along with fellow competitor Junior Miller, as result of his actions in 2008 final race.[5][6]
Myers was featured in MadHouse, a History Channel television documentary series that followed the drivers at Bowman Gray Stadium for a racing season, as well as the Discovery Channel series Race Night at Bowman Gray.[7][8][9]
Myers competed in the 2025 Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium, driving the No. 50 Chevrolet for Team AmeriVet.[10][11] Myers did not make the main event, crashing out of the last-chance qualifier after making contact with Ricky Stenhouse Jr.[12] On March 8, it was announced that Myers would drive for AmeriVet at the Martinsville spring race.[13]
