Brewer\u2019s passing is the first death at Bowman Gray Stadium in more than two decades at the track. The last death was Bubba Beck, who crashed after suffering a heart attack in a Modifieds race in 2002.<\/p>\n
It was reported that a medical emergency, potentially a heart attack, was the initial cause of Brewer losing control of his car. Brewer was a veteran driver who had spent decades racing.<\/p>\n
Brewer was a seasoned racer at Bowman Gray, with 11 wins in 311 starts, including 24 in a Tour Type Modified, 259 in a Sportsman, and 28 in Stadium Stock. He was a 2011 division champion at the track and made his first start in North Carolina in 1990.<\/p>\n
