BARRE, VT – The annual Fisher\/Federated Auto Parts stock car event at Barre’s Thunder Road on Thursday (July 19) will be chock full of action. In addition to championship events for the American-Canadian Tour Late Models, Tiger Sportsmen, Allen Lumber Street Stocks, and Power Shift Junkyard Warriors, a pair of special events will fill the card.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The inaugural “Media Madness” race and a preview for the 23rd Annual M&M Beverage Enduro 200 will highlight the night’s program. Even with the added attractions, Thunder Road’s traditionally low regular general admission prices will remain in effect at only $9 for adults, $3 for kids, and just $18 for a family of four – the best family entertainment value in Vermont. Post time is scheduled for 7:00pm, with preliminary events at 6:30pm.

The inaugural “Media Madness” race will feature members of the television, radio, print, and Internet news media in Junkyard Warrior racers.

A special preview to the 23rd Annual M&M Beverage Enduro 200 is also on tap for the first 20 entrants into the Sunday, July 29 event. The Enduro is a “survival” race for amateur drivers in virtually street-legal machines. Over 100 cars will start the race, with the first driver to complete 200 laps earning a cool $2,000 prize. <\/p>\n Expected for the Enduro preview are Nick Lawrence of Grand Isle, Anthony Chauvin of Hyde Park, Phillip Mullen of Cambridge, Paul Wells of Enosburg, and M&M Beverage Enduro 200 legend “Dipstick” Don Tofani of Plainfield.
