Rumor: After Disappointing NASCAR Debut, Brief Observe Legend May Make Cup Collection Return at Iconic Observe

The 2025 season kicked off with NASCAR returning to the enduring Bowman Grey Stadium first time since 1971. And whereas that was huge in itself, we had two Cup Collection debutants, who’re Legends relating to BGS. Possibly even calling them a legend is an understatement. Tim Brown and Burt Meyes race Modifieds. And Brown has 100 wins on his resume in BGS alone. And Meyers has 11 Bowman Grey Modified championships to his title. He’s the grandson of ‘Mr. Bowman Grey’ himself, Billy Myers, was a legend in his time. Anyway, ‘The Conflict’ was speculated to have them as an added problem for our Cup drivers. However it all led to a crash for Meyers. Nonetheless, he would possibly get an opportunity of redemption.

And in the event you recall “The Conflict’s’ format, it had a Final Likelihood Qualifier. Right here, drivers who didn’t make it within the warmth races received one ultimate likelihood to qualify. And Meyers was operating high 10, slowly climbing up (had reached P8), however that’s when Ricky Stenhouse Jr wrecked him out. And identical to that, Meyers’ Cup debut was up in smoke. This brought on an uproar among the many modified followers within the grandstands. Even on social media, Stenhouse Jr received numerous backlash for ruining Meyers’s in all probability solely alternative at NASCAR’s highest degree. Nonetheless, after some current rumors, which may not have been his solely shot.

Is Burt Meyers coming again for an additional race?

So, of us, this hasn’t been confirmed but, however there’s a rumor flying that Burt Meyers is operating at Martinsville subsequent. A photograph of a Chevy Camaro is making rounds on the web with Meyer’s title on it. And this appears to be like like the identical #50 automobile he ran at BGS. The picture was posted by the Instagram web page, ‘nascarrumornostalgia.’ It’s a web page that always posts rumors and unheard-of storage speak. And it has been a whistle-blower previously, to allow them to be trusted. 

Their current publish was this picture, with the caption, “This might be nothing however I can’t assist however surprise if Burt Myers and the 50 return to race Martinsville. Makes essentially the most sense to me however I’m making this up as I’m going 🤷‍♂️” Take a look at the automobile:

And don’t take their phrase for it. Meyers, after the LCQ, was requested if we’d see him once more within the Cup Collection and he had sort of hinted at it. Meyers had mentioned, “There are rumors, can’t say something simply but we have been gonna wait and see how this evening went… we’ll consider and we’ll get by means of the evening, assess the state of affairs and see the place it takes us.” So we may see the brief monitor racer at Martinsville or perhaps even Bristol is a risk.

The purpose is…that he deserves one other shot. It’s many drivers’ dream to run a full cup race and Meyers didn’t get that likelihood at BGS. Particularly after he was so enthusiastic about his debut, “I’m very excited to be part of such a monumental even. Each short-track driver desires of a chance like this. For mine to occur at my dwelling monitor and to have the ability to proceed my NASCAR household legacy means the world to me.” 

And his BGS run sort of felt like a dream that didn’t come true. However there’s nonetheless hope. Moreso, he ran with Staff AmeriVet within the #50 automobile. They usually are likely to run 2-4 races per season. So perhaps Meyers would pilot their subsequent one, too. And there have been additionally some rumors he might be at this yr’s All-Star race at North Wilkesboro. Possibly there he may fulfill his dream. And he additionally wants one other race to settle the rating with Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

However talking of a dream come true…it’s simply as unhappy for Tim Brown.

BGS was a bummer for Tim Brown

Brown, too, couldn’t make it previous the LCQ. And it was actually speculated to be a particular second for him. As all his life, he needed to race within the Cup Collection. Forward of the race, Brown had mentioned, “I awakened with the most important smile on my face this morning and such at peace with the Lord that I’m simply so blessed to be right here. I’m going to take pleasure in each second of it and I hope that we put that factor up entrance and make a present out of it.”

And never making it to the principle occasion will need to have felt extra disappointing for Brown as a result of he had extra eyeballs on him than Meyers. In any case Brown is the winningest driver of BGS ever. With over 100 wins and 12 championships. And whereas the race didn’t go as deliberate, he loved each second of being a Cup driver. Sharing the expertise, he had mentioned, “The best factor was to stroll in. They wrapped the automobile Sunday to shock me after I went to work on Monday and once you stroll in and flip the lights on and also you see that factor sitting there, it was like tremendous emotional, proper? Then, to get to convey my household down and have the modified there to unveil it and have our sponsors there and my spouse and youngsters, it’s tremendous, tremendous particular.”

What makes this additional particular is Brown lastly getting his likelihood. Throughout his prime, Brown was a proficient Modifieds driver. However it wasn’t widespread for Cup groups to take modified racers into NASCAR. Extra focus was on dash automobile drivers, somebody like Kasey Kahne perhaps. Additionally, it was actually costly to get a seat, because the workforce appeared for drivers who may get within the sponsors. And Brown neither had the cash nor the expertise of operating in dash vehicles. So the dream at all times remained a dream till BGS occurred. However it feels incomplete…let’s hope he will get extra begins too.
