BARRE, VT – A host of “underdog” stock car drivers ruled the night at Barre’s Thunder Road on Thursday in front of a large crowd on Kinney Drugs Night. Mike “Beetle” Bailey and Jamie “Hurricane” Fisher split a pair of 50-lap Late Model features, while Chris Chambers earned his first NAPA Tiger Sportsman win of the season. Bailey, of South Barre, notched his first career win in the previously rained-out Calkins Portables/WDEV Radio Late Model 50 to begin the evening. Bailey had not finished inside the top ten since an eighth-place result on June 19. He won the Calkins/WDEV race going away in a caution-free affair that took just 12 minutes to complete. Fisher, of Shelburne, finished second after a long battle with Montpelier’s Phil Scott. John Donahue of Graniteville finished fourth on Scott’s bumper with rookie Matt White of Northfield fifth.
