BARRE, Vt. — Due to the severity of the flooding in the area, officials have postponed the 44th running of the Vermont Governor’s Cup by the Vermont Lottery originally scheduled for Thursday, July 13.
With well over 100 roads washed out across the area, along with flooding in homes, businesses and Thunder Road’s own office building in downtown Barre, officials postponed the event to allow people the necessary time to assess their situations and plan accordingly.
The Vermont Governor’s Cup presented by the Vermont Lottery has been moved to join the iconic WDEV Radio Vermont/Calkin’s Portable Toilets Night on Thursday, July 27.
“Although Thunder Road was able to weather the storm, just as she has for the last 64 years, the whole of Vermont can’t say the same,” said Thunder Road managing partner Cris Michaud. “Many of our teams, fans, our Thunder Road family, have more to worry about at this time than making it to the racetrack.
“We look forward to seeing everyone next week for the SRX event, no doubt our biggest show in Thunder Road history. Stay safe, we wish you well and we’ll see you all at the track soon.”
