Barre, VT – Barre’s own Mike Bailey took full advantage of the Times Argus Mid-Season Championships double points night at Thunder Road on Thursday, July 15. Bailey earned his second career Thunder Road Late Model win after taking the lead on lap 21 after working his way to the front from his fifth starting position. He would lead all but one of the remaining 29 laps. Island Pond’s Reno Gervais edged out Montpelier’s Cris Michaud for second.
Point leader Dave Pembroke of Montpelier took fourth and held onto his point lead while Barre’s Nick Sweet took fifth and will take over the second spot in the Thunder Road Late Model Championship point standings.Matt White moved his way from the 19th starting position to earn sixth while Rich Lowrey, Cody Blake, John Donahue, and Dave Whitcomb rounded out the top ten. Montpelier’s Phil Scott was second in the point standings going into the mid-season championships but had to settle for 13th.
The Bond Auto Tiger Sportsmen had a rough couple of laps to start out their feature and were pulled into the pits after just three laps and didn’t complete their race until after the Allen Lumber Street Stocks and Junkyard Warriors completed their main event.
When the action got back under way Milton’s Eric Badore worked his way to the lead and checked out on the remainder of the field. He was chased to the line by David Finck, Shawn Fleury, Tom Therrien and Ricky Roberts rounding out the top five. Tucker Williams, Derrick O’Donnell, Joel Hodgdon, Jason Corliss, and Brendan Moodie completed the top ten. The Bond Auto Tiger Sportsmen point leader headed into tonight was Tony Rossi who had to settle for fifteenth.
Graniteville’s Lloyd Blakely earned his eleventh career Allen Lumber Street Stock win, which places him in a tie with David Allen for second on the all time wins list. Joe Fecteau came in second, Joe Blais third, Donnie Yates fourth and Greg Adams completed the top five. Point leader Tim Campbell finished a solid ninth.
The top finishing Junkyard Warrior was Ken Christman for the seventh time this season. Fred Schroeder and Josh Erwin completed the podium.
Next Thursday, July 22 is Casella Waste Management night. All four divisions will be back for a regular event with a post time of 6:30pm.
