Thunder Road Special Sunday Twilight Event
Barre, VT – Stars of Barre’s Thunder Road International Speedbowl will continue their 2010 stock car championship run this Sunday, June 13 with a special Ferguson Waterworks twilight event. Kids will get their chance to ride the Barre highbanks with their favorite Thunder Road drivers including the 2010 Mekkelsen RV Memorial Day Classic Champion Dave Pembroke, 2010 Merchants Banks 150 winner Nick Sweet, as well as former “Kings of the Road” Senator Phil Scott and Cris Michaud.
Montpelier’s Pembroke will look to make it an extraordinary three straight Thunder Road feature wins after taking checkers in the Thunder Road Late Model 100 at Devils Bowl Speedway and the Memorial Day Classic at Thunder Road. But he will have to hold off the likes of Barre’s Nick Sweet who dominated the 2010 Merchants Bank 150 and appeared to be a contender on Memorial Day before spinning out while fighting for the lead.
