A member of a prominent auto racing family has passed away, leaving behind a legacy tied to generations of stock car drivers. The individual was the son of a pioneering figure in the sport and the father of two well-known drivers, while also serving as the grandfather of a younger racer who began his career recently. His death marks the end of an era for a family deeply embedded in motorsports history. The announcement follows the passing of another racing family member earlier this year.


Myers was the son of auto racing pioneer Billy Myers, the father of stock car drivers Burt and Jason Myers and the grandfather of Slate Myers, whose racing career began in 2024.
