WSMT's Tim Brown Takes Controversial Win At Bowman Gray


From Speed51.com:

Tim Brown was declared the winner of the Modified event at Bowman Gray Stadium Saturday night, even though Burt Myers was leading at the checkered flag.  As the field came around to receive the white flag, Lee Jeffreys spun out on the front stretch. Tim Brown slowed, thinking that a caution was inevitable. The caution lights around the track came on, but the flagman never threw the caution flag. Although Brown slowed, the action never halted Myers was able to get by Brown to claim the lead as the white flag was waving.  Myers finished out the final lap in the lead, taking the checkered and receiving his trophy in front of the fans.  NASCAR Officials reviewed the race and determined that the victory actually belonged to Tim Brown. According to Bowman Grays race procedure rule book, a display of the caution lights and/or the caution flag waving will bring about a halt of the race. At that point, the field freezes and the racers restart where they were when the caution came out.  (5-19-08)
