BARRE, Vt. — Sam Caron won the 75-lap Flying Tiger feature Thursday night at Thunder Road Int’l Speedbowl.
The first 14 laps saw polesitter Caron set a blistering pace ahead of Brandon Gray and Kevin Streeter before the first caution on the frontstretch. The restart saw another hardnosed side-by-side battle between Caron and Gray before Caron again barnstormed away with a three car-length lead.
Meanwhile, defending track champion Kyle Streeter patiently made his way to third before a lap 68 brush-up with the wall took him out of contention. Even through a vicious battle in lap traffic, Caron came out on top with the win followed by Gray and Shawn Fleury rounding out the podium.
Marcel Gravel grabbed the lead on lap 29 of the late model main event, beating Scott Dragon to the checkered flag.
Chris Roberts, Brandon Lanphear and Cody Blake completed the top five.
Josh Lovely won the 25-lap street stock feature.
