Barre, VT – Dave Pembroke of Montpelier earned his second straight feature win of the season on Times Argus Mid-Season Championship Night, Thursday, July 14 at Thunder Road. The former “King of the Road” inherited a spot in the front row during a wild final 10 laps of the 75 lap feature and cruised to the win.
Graniteville’s Chip Grenier led early from the outside pole and began lapping the tail of the field before the first caution on lap 40. Grenier again built a comfortable lead after the restart until Phil Scott cleared traffic on lap 50 and took second. Scott began to run him down and was nearly to Grenier’s rear bumper when Grenier spun trying to split two lap cars on lap 67.
