The field of ten is now down to three with Lyndonville’s Aaron Maynard, Eden’s Jason Heath and Montpelier’s Michael Stridsberg entering the final round over the next two weeks.The three finalists will get one last shot behind the mic on Thursday, August 12 and Thursday, August 19. The winner will be crowned on the final Thursday (August 26) night of the 2010 Thunder Road season.
