NEW ENGLAND MOTORSPORTS NORTH FOR AUGUST 28TH
By Lou Modestino
The 56th Thunder Road Thursday night season concludes this Thursday (August 27) with Derrick O’Donnell inching closer to his third “King of the Road” crown on Cody Chevrolet Cadillac Night. N. Haverhill, NH’s O’Donnell has a commanding lead with two races to go, but every spot will be critical this Thursday and in the upcoming Labor Day Classic.
O’Donnell piloted his #60VT Late Model to a second-place finish in a caution-free main event last Thursday night. The result extended his overall lead over Barre racers Nick Sweet and Cody Blake to 68 and 74 points, respectively, with an 85-point gap to Graniteville’s John Donahue. A strong run for O’Donnell and his Mascitti Bros. Racing team this Thursday on their sponsor’s night could put a stamp on a record-tying third straight track championship.
