But Fowler knows the famed half-mile, asphalt oval isn’t paved with yellow bricks.
By Chuck Corder
It may be an uncharacteristic weekend race, but business will be bustlin’ in all 4 divisions, but especially for the West Florida Coatings Sportsmen. Brannon Fowler is eyeing a second straight track championship. He’s a qualifying time and 30 feature laps away from destiny’s doorstep. “It would mean a lot to win another,” said Fowler, who also boasts a Bombers track crown from a few years ago. “I take a lotta pride in what we do out here. To be a track champion, and to try to repeat in the Sportsman division, it’s quite a feat with the level of competition.”

The Molino driver, who owns two feature wins this year, is clinging to a 14-point lead over Steve Buttrick — a seven-time feature winner this season, the 2010 Sportsmen track title winner and the two-time reigning Sportsmen Snowball Derby champ. In other words, this intriguing matchup didn’t need any more flavoring. But it certainly got a few sprinkles this week when Buttrick took exception to the way Fowler drove him at last week’s Double Points Night race. Buttrick feels Fowler’s careless driving caused him to wreck and nearly cost him his season. “He drove through a lapped car, and in my opinion that was very stupid,” said the Cantonment driver of the blue No. 33. “I could go all year and drive along lapped cars, and not touch ’em. I’ve been pretty upset about it. He knew I was outside of him. I knew it was gonna happen.” Miraculously, Buttrick somehow fired it up, got it going and rallied home to finish as the runner-up.
