Smith Takes Street Stock Casella Night Feature before Weather Halts Event

Barre, VT – An unexpected but persistent drizzle brought an early end to Casella Waste Systems Night at Barre’s Thunder Road on Thursday, June 14 just five laps into the Maplewood/Irving Late Model main event. The showers, which were not on the weather radar, arrived in earnest during a red flag for a multi-car pile-up entering turn 1. Barre’s Jason Corliss was the leader at the time the event was halted.

The Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tiger and Burnett Scrap Metals Road Warrior features were also postponed as a result of the weather. The remainder of the Late Model feature will be run at the beginning of North Country Federal Credit Union Night next Thursday, June 21. The make-up dates for the Flying Tiger and Road Warrior features will be announced at a later date.
