Bowman Gray welcomes rescheduled Modified Twin 50s

Week 17 of Bowman Gray Stadium’s 2026 racing season could be its most action-packed Saturday yet. FOX 8 WGHP is back as a presenting partner for Twin-50 lap races in the Brad’s Golf Cars Modified Division. Sportsman, Stadium Stocks and Street Stocks all return too along with a Skid Race for the second-to-last round of Madhouse mayhem. This week’s lineup includes 20 laps for the QRC HVAC & Refrigeration Street Stocks and one or two 15-lap features for the Q104.1 Stadium Stock Division, depending on the car count. The Modifieds will host the second and final Twin-50 night of the season. The Law Offices of John Barrow Sportsman division are also holding Twin-20 lap events. Saturday will wrap up with a five-lap Skid Race as well. Points battles remain in multiple series, with a few contenders still in striking distance. Burt Myers’ Modified points lead is down to 10 over Tim Brown after Myers ran into late trouble last week, while Brown finished second. Brown and his No. 83 still eye a 150th career pole position this week as well. Law Offices of John Barrow Sportsman contenders Billy Gregg and Justin Taylor are now 15 points apart. They tangled on the last lap a week ago, opening the door for Nate Gregg. QRC HVAC & Refrigeration Street Stocks has the biggest margin for any current Bowman Gray Stadium title fight. Brad Lewis is now 54 points up on Connor Keaton. Lewis’ lights out consistency was on display again in week 16, taking his fourth win of the year in the No. 16, with Keaton in third. Q104.1 Stadium Stocks’ championship battle is still wide open as well. Stephen Sanders and last week’s winner Chuck Wall both enter Saturday tied at 612 points. Third-place Brandon Brendle is also only 40 points back in the standings. For female race fans who were at the Aug. 1 rainout, discounted blue ladies tickets can be redeemed on Saturday.
