George Brunnhoelzl III clinched the 2013 championship for the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour in the season finale at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Thursday night, to extend his record for tour titles to four.
It also marks the third consecutive tour championship for the 30-year-old West Babylon, NY, driver – who in addition to his 2011 and 2012 titles, won the crown in 2009.
While Brunnhoelzl wrapped up the championship just by taking the green flag in his No. 28 EpoxZ/Oval Speed Chevrolet, there was plenty of drama late in the race as Burt Myers inherited the lead and won the UNOH Southern Slam 150 on the quarter-mile oval at CMS.
Myers took over the top spot when Ryan Preece, who had won the pole and appeared headed to his second victory in three starts, slowed with a blown engine just 12 laps from the finish. Myers, who won the inaugural tour race at Charlotte in 2010, paced the field to the finish in his No. 1 CitruSafe/Adams Towing & Recovery Ford.
It marks the third win this season and 11th career tour victory for the 2010 tour champion from Walnut Cove, NC – who started fourth on the grid Saturday night.
Kyle Ebersole, who trailed Brunnhoelzl by 32 points coming into the final race, finished second behind Myers. Brunnhoelzl came home third, with Tim Brown fourth and Danny Bohn fifth. Rounding out the top 10 were AJ Winstead, John Smith, Jason Myers, Luke Fleming and Thomas Stinson.
Brunnhoelzl will be honored for his championship season along with NASCAR’s other touring series champions on Saturday, Dec. 14 at the NASCAR Touring Series Awards in the Grand Ballroom of the Charlotte (NC) Convention Center at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
