Brad Lewis, another Bowman Gray driver, said Brewer “was like a big brother for me even if we were not so far from age.” The Lewis racing shop was near where Brewer lived.
“He was a Thorugh and through wheel and through,” added Lewis. “I will not only honor the rest of the season, but as long as we run there. We will miss it.”
Brewer is being raced on the track, which served as an exhibition event of the Nascar Cup Series in February since 1990.
