I took down a repost about a big concert coming to Charlotte. Apparently it was AI-generated clickbait! My apologies!

Deepest sympathy to the family & friends of Robbie Brewer.

Tonight, at Bowman Gray Stadium, a devastating accident occurred when Robbie Brewer had a heart attack during a restart in the sportsman series race, resulting in his vehicle colliding with the turn 4 wall. In order to rescue Brewer, safety crews had to peel back the roof of the race car. He was then rushed to a nearby hospital via ambulance, where he was pronounced deceased. Witnesses described the harrowing scene, stating that Brewer’s car accelerated into the wall at full throttle during a lap 16 restart. As a former Bowman Gray champion, Brewer’s untimely passing is deeply mourned. Condolences are extended to his friends, family, and all who knew him.

UPDATE: OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM BOWMAN GRAY STADIUM - “We are saddened by the passing of Robbie Brewer after he was transported to an area medical facility following an on-track medical incident during last night’s event at Bowman Gray Stadium. Robbie was a talented and passionate racer, and highly respected competitor among his peers. Our thoughts and prayers are with Robbie’s family and friends at this time.”

This is so sad .

Important Notice - Lake Lure Flowering Bridge: It is with deep regret that the Town of Lake Lure, NC announces that the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge must be taken down due to the significant structural impacts from last September 2024. The historic structure sustained severe damage during Tropical Storm Helene. After thorough assessments by two independent engineering firms, it was determined that the bridge is beyond repair and cannot be restored.

Following a competitive bid process, the Town has awarded the contract for removing the bridge to Mitch Contracting. This process will likely take several weeks, but the project will begin on August 18, 2025.

* For everyone's safety, it is crucial that the public avoid the demolition site at all times.

* This includes the area on the east side of the Bridge as well as the area on the West Side, near the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge Education Center.

* Please respect all posted signage and barriers.

The Town of Lake Lure recognizes the historical significance of the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge, and we remain mindful of what it has meant to our community and to the countless visitors who have come to tour it. We can never thank the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge volunteers enough for their dedication and commitment to beautifying the Bridge and the Town of Lake Lure over the years. For over a decade, they worked tirelessly to create a gateway to somewhere beautiful!

Thank you for your understanding and continued support during this difficult transition. You may read about the history of the beloved Lake Lure Flowering Bridge at the following link: https://www.townoflakelure.com/community/page/history-lake-lure-flowering-bridge
