Barre, Vt.<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Governor Phil Scott became the first sitting governor to triumph in a Vermont stock car race on Thursday, July 6, capturing the Late Model win at Barre\u2019s Thunder Road on Premium Mortgage Night. It was the 30th<\/sup>\u00a0career win for the Berlin resident and first since being elected governor of the Green Mountain State.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Scott started on the pole of the 50-lap feature after a rough beginning to his season and darted out to the lead during the first half of the event. Barre\u2019s Cody Blake quickly worked his way to second and was beginning to shadow Scott when the race\u2019s first caution came out on lap 28 for an accident involving Wolcott\u2019s Marcel J. Gravel and Milton\u2019s Scott Dragon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Three more cautions would follow, forcing the three-time track champion to fend off the field again and again. Scott was able stay ahead of Blake on the first two restarts before Blake was caught up in the third caution, putting Middlesex\u2019s Josh Demers alongside. After Demers slapped the wall on the race\u2019s final restart on lap 39, Scott was able to hold off Washington\u2019s Ricky Roberts and Westford\u2019s Darrell Morin for the win.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Morin caught Roberts at the line for second. Trampas Demers took fourth as Eric Chase bounced off the wall in fifth. Bobby Therrien, Gravel, Scott Coburn, Eric Badore, and Kyle Pembroke completed the top-10.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grand Isle veteran \u201cDouble O\u201d Joe Steffen captured his 16th<\/sup>\u00a0career Lenny\u2019s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tiger victory in their 40-lap feature. Steffen grabbed the lead from polesitter Jason Pelkey on a lap-seven restart before falling into the clutches of Hinesburg\u2019s Trevor Lyman and Morrisville\u2019s Dwayne Lanphear late in the event. But Lyman and Lanphear got into a back-and-forth battle for second, allowing Steffen to pull away for the win.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lyman edged Lanphear by inches for second. Jason Woodard and rookie Jamon Perry completed the top-five, with point leader Brendan Moodie, Robert Gordon, Tyler Austin, Burter Spooner III, and Mike Billado also earning top-10 finishes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Allen Lumber Street Stocks, Duxbury\u2019s Peyton Lanphear took her second win of the season and fourth of her career. Lanphear grabbed the top spot from polesitter Tom Campbell at the initial green flag, but had to escape the clutches of a five-car pack over the second half of the 25-lap feature. Following the race\u2019s only caution on lap-20, she beat out Wolcott\u2019s Jamie Davis and Craftsbury Common\u2019s Stephen Martin for the win.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Matthew Smith took fourth followed by Will Hennequin in fifth. Kelsea Woodard, Michael Gay, Dean Switser Jr., Alan Mayanard, and Brandon Lanphear finished sixth through 10th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stephen Martin became a first-time with a victory in the Marvin Johnson Memorial Non-Winners Event. Martin took the lead from Kasey Collins on lap three of the 19-lap race and cruised to the win over Brandon Lanphear and Collins.<\/p>\n
