Powers and Fisher Dominate on Nolato Night; Rookie Wheatley Duels to 1st Street Stock Trophy Dash
/Barre, VT – Even with a bleak, at best, forecast hovering over Quarry Hill on Thursday, one-hundred cars flowed into the Thunder Road pit area for Nolato Vermont Night. Highlighted by the return of the Myers Container Service Triple Crown, the Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers started off the night’s action.
With a +3 in Plus/Minus handicap, Logan Powers and Kevin Streeter led off the Flying Tiger field for their first extra-distance event of the season at Thunder Road. Powers took off like a rocket sled on rails with the only mix-up of the night coming with a flat right front on the Robin Wood #24NY followed by mechanical woes for Logan Farrell and Matt Ballard as well. Again, it was Logan Powers who never looked back to dominate his way to Nolato Vermont victory lane and the quick lead in the Myers Container Service Triple Crown. Brendan Moodie and Cameron Ouellette followed for a great start in mini-series action.
Like the Tigers, the rk Miles Street Stocks were only slowed for one caution that saw rookie Hayden Bushey and Mike ‘The Biffer’ Gay sliding through the turn two grass. It was the only blip in an otherwise stellar side-by-side shootout between rookie Tyler Wheatley on the outside lane and Little Biffer Travis Gay. Wheatley eventually got the best of the match, keeping pace ahead of another hardnosed battle between Tommy ‘Thunder’ Smith and Kyler Davis to take his first career Street Stock win!
Cody Blake got the early jump in the Maplefields/Irving Oil Late Models away from polesitter Scott Coburn with Kaiden Fisher in close contact from behind. Fisher eventually rounded Blake before their one scuffle on lap 20 that saw Cooper Bouchard, Darrell Morin, Brooks Clark and Bryan Wall Jr. collect across the start/finish line. Again, Fisher took off with the lead and never looked back to his first win in a rough start to the season with Blake and Tanner Woodard joining in the Nolato Vermont podium.
The Burnett Scrap Metal Road Warriors rounded out the Nolato Vermont program with an opening lap twist-around ending the night for Eddie Thompson and Derrick Mann, among others. While Brendan Premont led the way early, Mike Slingerland used his patent-pending slingshot move around the outside lane to claim the win over Kevin Wheatley and Taylor Sayers.
Thunder Road Int’l Speedbowl is back in action next Thursday, June 26 for Community College of Vermont Double Features Night. Twin features are on tap for the Maplefields/Irving Late Models, Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers, rk Miles Street Stocks and Burnett Scrap Metals Road Warriors with a special 6:30pm Post Time next Thursday, June 26.
