Martin Takes Triple 25’s, Morris Wins Late Models On Cody Chevrolet Night
Barre, VT – Mike Martin of Craftsbury Common won two segments to claim the Tiger Triple 25’s on Cody Chevrolet Night, while Boomer Morris of Barre made a late move to earn the win in the Thunder Road Late Models.
Martin’s victory was his third of the season in the Bond Auto Tiger Sportsmen division. Mark Barnier of Essex Jct. finished tied with Martin on overall points with 13 each after the three segments, but Martin earned the tiebreaker, and the victory, based on his better finish in segment three.
Brendan Moodie of Wolcott, Jason Woodard of Waterbury Ctr., Cameron Ouellette of Barre, Mike Billado of Essex, Eric Johnson of Randolph Ctr., Joe Steffen of Grand Isle, Stephen Donahue of Graniteville, and Matt Potter of Plainfield rounded out the top 10.
Patience was the key for Morris in his victory over the 24-car late model field. Morris ran next to Marcel Gravel of Hardwick in the outside lane in second place for 29 laps before making his move to claim the lead with six laps remaining in the 50-lap feature. Matt White of Northfield moved into second with two laps to go and made a move under Morris coming out of the fourth turn on the final lap, but couldn’t pull out the win.
White and Gravel finished second and third, respectively. Rounding out the top 10 were Darrell Morin of Westford, Eric Chase of Milton, Jason Allen of Barre, Kyle Pembroke of Montpelier, Tyler Cahoon of Danville, Shawn Fleury of Middlesex, and Eric Badore of Milton.
In the Allen Lumber Street Stocks, Bunker Hodgdon of Hardwick grabbed the lead from rookie Cooper Bouchard of Hinesburg on a restart with five laps remaining, then held off a last-lap challenge from Jamon Perry of Hardwick to grab his second feature victory of the season.
Perry finished second and Bouchard third in the 23-car main event. They were followed in the top 10 by Alan Maynard of Fairfax, Jaden Perry of Hardwick, Jennifer Getty of Cambridge, Garry Bashaw of Lincoln, Brandon Lanphear of Morrisville, Matthew Smith of Essex Jct., and Reilly Lanphear of Duxbury.
Racing action returns to Thunder Road on Thursday, August 18 for U.S. Army Recruiting Night.
