NMCS schedule opens at Thunder Road’s Memorial Day Classic on May 25
BARRE, VT – The ground-pounding Modifieds are headed back to the road – Thunder Road. The Northern Modified Challenge Series opens its second year of open-wheel stock car racing at the Mekkelsen RV Memorial Day Classic at Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, VT on Sunday, May 25. The race will be run in conjunction with the Vermont State Late Model Championship Series.
Jessey Mueller made history last year at the track, winning the first-ever event for the Northern Modified Challenge Series. The Olmstedville, NY racer, just 18 years old at the time, led the way ahead of veterans Leon Gonyo and Kenny Tremont, Jr. for the 50-lap victory. The race featured side-by-side action in the high-banked corners and a spectacular opening-lap crash on the “Widowmaker” frontstretch wall.
