Barre, Vt. – Barre’s Thunder Road closes out the month of July with the annual Times Argus Mid-Season Championships this Thursday, July 27. Double points will be on the line in all events for the Thunder Road Late Models, Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers, and Allen Lumber Street Stocks, giving the night the potential to be a deciding factor in many drivers’ championship hopes.
All three divisions will run extra-distance features, highlighted by a 75-lap main event for the Late Models. But with twice as many points going to all positions – including 150 points for the feature winner versus 75 points for winning a regular weekly event – drivers know they will need to get to the front in order to maintain their spot in the standings or to make a move.
