BARRE, Vt. — Multiple divisions were in action for Friday’s Thunder Road Int’l Speedbowl slate of events.
The Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers saw Mike Martin on the pole inside of Mike MacAskill to start their 40-lap main event. The two veterans would face off side-by-side in the early circuits as Chris LaForest looked to make it three wide underneath the leaders but backed off for a long-game strategy.
MacAskill finally edged out to take the lone lead on lap 24, but again Martin and Cameron Ouellette stayed in the fight with Brandon Gray joining them. Gray would power into second on lap 26 and motored under MacAskill for the lead on lap 29. The duo remained beside each other with MacAskill gaining the lead back on lap 31 just to have Gray take it back over on lap 32.
Gray took down his seventh win of the season, breaking the tie with Eric Williams’ impressive six-win season in 1994 and gained enough of a cushion to clinch the Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tiger track championship at Thunder Road.
Stephen Martin won the Maplefield/Irving Late Models feature, while Dan Bowes was victorious in New England Supermodified Series action.
The Burnett Scrap Metals Road Warriors was won by Brodie Frazier.
