Donahue and Pembroke Tied as Thunder Road Season Winds Down

Thunder RoadBarre, VT – Graniteville’s John Donahue and Montpelier’s Dave Pembroke are tied atop the Thunder Road Late Model point standings with just three point counting events left on the schedule. Donahue is aiming for his first “King of the Road” title, while Pembroke looks for his second.

The two have taken very different paths to the top in 2011. Donahue and his National Guard team started off the season on fire, winning the Memorial Day Classic and following it up just three races later with a win in the Vermont Governor’s Cup. Donahue has been the point leader for the majority of the season and lead by as much as 46 points. He hasn’t been lower than second in the standings all year.

STEVE KINSER & DONNY SCHATZ
Tony Stewart Racing Teams Aim High in Eastern Canada

INDIANAPOLIS (June 28, 2011) – As if the stakes weren’t high enough each night on the World of Outlaws (WoO) tour, a new driver claimed victory last night to add his name to the record books with the Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) tandem of Steve Kinser and Donny Schatz. That winner just happened to be their boss, Tony Stewart. Now, each has won a WoO A-Feature thanks to Stewart’s dominant run on Wednesday night at Ohsweken (Ontario) Speedway in the opener of the Outlaws’ eastern Canada swing. While Stewart turns his focus to this weekend’s Brickyard 400, Kinser and Schatz look to add to their WoO victory totals (566 for Kinser and 108 for Schatz) when the Outlaws make their debut on Friday night at Brockville (Ontario) Speedway and compete for the second time at Autodromme Drummond in Drummondville, Quebec, on Saturday.
