Barre, VT – Thunder Road Officials have announced a fifty thousand ($50,000) dollar bonus to be awarded to any competitor that can win all three segments of the 50th People’s United Bank Milk Bowl on the weekend of September 29th and 30th.
The $50,000 award is an added bonus to posted awards already exceeding $120,000, making the race one of the biggest sporting events in Vermont’s history. In the Milk Bowl’s long history, three drivers have completed the feat of winning all three segments: Larry Demar (1967), Dave Dion (1975), and Robbie Crouch (1986).
