However, Northfield\u2019s Matt White smacked the frontstretch wall on lap-39 while running third, marking the first of four late-race cautions. The yellows forced Roberts to first fend off Cody Blake and then Bobby Therrien on critical restarts. Roberts kept them and the rest of the field at bay for the win and the $800 Triple Crown bonus from Maplewood Convenience Stores.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Therrien bounced back from some tough recent fortunes to finish second while South Burlington\u2019s Trampas Demers came on strong late to take third. Eric Badore and Eric Chase took fourth and fifth, while Blake, Mike Bailey, Darrell Morin, Tyler Cahoon, and Scott Coburn rounded out the top-10.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rookie Jamon Perry of Hardwick scored his first career Lenny\u2019s Shoe &amp; Apparel Flying Tiger victory in the 40-lap feature. Perry swung around the outside of fellow rookie Tyler Austin on lap 17, then held off brother Jaden Perry over the second half of the event for the win.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jaden Parry finished second for the second week in a row while point leader Brendan Moodie of Wolcott surged to third on the final lap when Jason Woodard and Dwayne Lanphear got together. Woodard held on for fourth with Trevor Lyman inheriting fifth after Lanphear was disqualified for a post-race altercation. Mike Billado, Austin, Kevin Dodge, Mike Martin, and Robert Gordon finished sixth through 10<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Waitsfield\u2019s Kevin Streeter earned his second feature win of the season in the 25-lap Allen Lumber Street Stock feature. Streeter grabbed the top spot from early leader Tom Campbell on lap five, then survived a final-lap scramble to the line after Greg Collette, Will Hennequin, and Brandon Lanphear tangled on the backstretch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Middlesex\u2019s Campbell earned a career-best second-place finish with Wolcott\u2019s Jamie Davis third. Dean Switser Jr., Matthew Smith, Alan Maynard, Kelsea Woodard, Reilly Lanphear, Gary Mullen, and Cooper Bouchard completed the top-10.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hinesburg\u2019s Garin Frost of Frost Beer Works won the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0Annual Vermont Brewer\u2019s Cup to earn the title of \u201cVermont\u2019s Fastest Craft Beer Brewer\u201d.
