Barre, VT<\/em> \u2013 Hometown racer Jason Allen captured his first career Thunder Road Late Model win in the WDEV\/Calkins Portable Toilets Trophy Dash on Thursday, July 30.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allen got around the outside of polesitter Matt White to take the lead on lap 28 of the 50-lap event and drove away for the victory. It was the first top-10 finish of 2015 for the sophomore driver after a tough first half of the season.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe had to make it work,\u201d Allen said of the winning pass. \u201cI knew we had a decent car from the semi-feature; I just overdrove it. So I put that in the back of my mind. The car kept getting better as the run went on, and when (Josh Demers) jumped to the outside behind us and was making it work, it was the point where we had to go or not.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis means the world,\u201d he added. \u201cThis feels like Daytona to me. It\u2019s for the team and the guys who\u2019ve put it all the work. We\u2019re old school; we work on the car at night after our full-time jobs, and that\u2019s what makes it so special.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allen was running third when the race\u2019s only caution came out on lap 11 for point leader Derrick O\u2019Donnell\u2019s slide off of turn 1. He got underneath Josh Demers on the restart and began to pressure White for the top spot. Demers \u2013 who was going for the Triple Crown after winning his heat and the semi-feature \u2013 slid back as far as fifth in the outside line, but began to move back up near the halfway point, prompting Allen\u2019s winning move.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fellow Barre driver Jason Corliss made a late charge on the outside groove to finish second, while Demers nipped White at the line for third. Brett Gervais, Trampas Demers, Cody Blake, Kyle Pembroke, Nick Sweet, and Eric Badore rounded out the top-10. O\u2019Donnell finished 14th<\/sup> but unofficially maintains a 19-point edge over Sweet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Defending Bond Auto Tiger Sportsman Champion and current point leader Jason Woodard earned his first career win in the two-segment feature. Waterbury Ctr.\u2019s Woodard finished fourth in the first 20-lap segment, then sliced through the field for another fourth-place result in segment 2. His eight-point total then won a tiebreaker with Dylan Payea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rookie Stephen Donahue rounded out the podium. Segment 1 winner Mike Billado and Cameron Ouellette completed the top-five. Christopher Pelkey, Mike Martin, Segment 2 winner Brendan Moodie, Derek Barker, and Joe Steffen finished sixth through 10th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Montpelier\u2019s Donny Yates grabbed his second win of the season in the 25-lap Allen Lumber Street Stock feature. Yates took the lead on the restart following the race\u2019s only caution on lap 1, then held off a fast-closing Will Hennequin for the victory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Tyler Austin finished third, followed by Jamie Davis and Bunker Hodgdon. Chris LaForest, Marcel J. Gravel, Matthew Smith, Alan Maynard, and Jaden Perry also earned top-10 finishes.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Derrick O\u2019Donnell and his Mascitti Bros. Racing team won the Port-A-Potty Grand Prix, with Jaden Perry winning the Golden Plunger for best-appearing entry.<\/p>\n
