Thompson, Conn: John Lowinski-Loh of Milford, Mass., Steve Kenneway of Lowell, Mass. and Chad Baxter of Pascoag, RI all captured their first season wins on Whelen Engineering night in Thursday Night Thunder at Thompson (TNTT). Other NASCAR Whelen All-American Series winners included Keith Rocco of Meriden, Conn. in the Sunoco Modified division with his fourth victory of the season and John Studley of Framingham, Mass. in the Lite Modifieds.
Lowinski-Loh has a proven record of success at Thompson Speedway and that’s why it was no surprise that he continued that pattern behind the wheel of a Late Model. Lowinski-Loh nailed his first victory in only his fifth start in the highly competitive division after taking the lead at lap 14 from John Falconi.
Falconi and Damon Tinio led the field to green with Falconi taking the point in turn two after a brief side-by-side battle. Lowinski-Loh took over second on the second circuit with Tinio settling into third.

THOMPSON, CT. After a two week absence, Thursday night racing returns to the Thompson Speedway this week. The break in the racing action was the result of a rain out on June 27th and the New England Summer Nationals occupying the speedway grounds on the 4th of July.
When racing resumes on July 11th, it will be Whelen Engineering night and Thompson’s five NASCAR Whelen All- American Series divisions will be in competition. As an added attraction, the Xtra Mart Limited Sportsman teams will compete in their longest race of the year. A 30-lap main event is on tap for this exciting division and the competition is bound to be fierce for the win and the bragging rights that go along with winning this prestigious race. Currents points leader Larry Barnett will head the field and will be the driver to beat. He has captured three wins already this year and has moved to 4th on the all-time win list at Thompson with an amazing total of 55 career victories. It will not be easy for Barnett as he will face stiff competition from drivers like Scott Sundeen, Steve Kenneway, Jason Chicolas and Bill McNeil.
