Burt Myers is preparing for a major comeback at the NASCAR Clash in 2026, following his early exit from the 2025 edition at Bowman Gray Stadium. Myers, who is closely associated with the track’s history and tradition, will continue his partnership with Team AmeriVet as he aims for a successful return in the #50 car, making his focus on the Burt Myers NASCAR Clash return even more significant.
Building on Past Challenges and Experience
After a setback in the 2025 Clash, Myers is determined to seize a fresh opportunity at the event in 2026. Team AmeriVet has expressed confidence in Myers, confirming he will once again compete, still driving car number 50. The 2025 race saw Myers and fellow Bowman Gray Stadium Modified driver Tim Brown represent a track where Myers holds a legendary status—cemented by over 100 modified wins and 11 track championships at Bowman Gray Stadium.
Myers, reflecting on his return, said,
Getting another shot in the Cup car at Bowman Gray means a lot to me,
Burt Myers, Driver. He added,
Last time left us wanting more, and I’m grateful to Team AmeriVet and our partners for believing in me and giving us a chance to come back and do it right in front of these fans.
Burt Myers, Driver.
Community Outreach and Team Support
Team AmeriVet and Burt Myers demonstrated a commitment to giving back during the 2025 Clash by partnering with Citrusafe Cleaners, Pinnacle Financial Partners, AmeriVet Securities, C3skids.com, Dairi-O, Chevrolet, ECR Engines, and ForgiveCo to erase $250,000 in veteran debt. This charitable effort was part of the “50 Vets a Week” initiative, showcased at the start of the 2025 racing season. These organizational and community ties remain strong as Myers and Team AmeriVet look ahead to the 2026 competition.
Upcoming Race Dates and Myers Family Racing Tradition
The next NASCAR Clash is scheduled for February 1, 2026, and the Modified event at Bowman Gray takes place the day prior, on January 31. In the previous season, Myers took part in both the prestigious Cup Series Clash and the Modified race, underlining his deep involvement with multiple tiers of racing at this iconic venue.
Burt Myers’s history at Bowman Gray is longstanding, rooted in family legacy. The Myers family’s involvement began in the 1950s with Billy and Bobby Myers, followed by Billy’s son Gary, then Gary’s sons Burt and Jason, and now extending to Burt’s son Slate. Currently, Burt, Jason, and Slate can all be found racing at Bowman Gray Stadium, making the venue a central chapter in the Myers family story.
What the Future Holds for Myers and Team AmeriVet
As Myers prepares for his Burt Myers NASCAR Clash return, the support from Team AmeriVet and their partners signals high expectations for the upcoming race. The experience and knowledge Myers has gained, both on the track and from the stands, connect generations of drivers and keep the spirit of family racing alive at Bowman Gray. With charitable outreach laying the groundwork and community support behind him, Myers’s return is poised to energize fans and set the stage for a compelling chapter in the 2026 racing season.
