WLVB Twilight Night: Emily Packard
Thunder Road Int’l Speedbowl Race Report
BARRE, Vt. – Emily Packard of East Montpelier, Vt., finished 16th in the WLVB Late Model 50 at Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, Vt., on Sunday, June 9. Packard fought an ill-handling race car throughout the day, and after dialing in the No. 9x Northstar Fireworks/Berlin Optical Expressions Chevrolet more to her liking, the 16-year-old driver fell victim to the track position game on the tight quarter-mile. One night earlier, Packard finished 13th in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series 35-lap Late Model feature at Canaan Fair Speedway in Canaan, N.H. Packard, who one week earlier became the first woman to win a NASCAR-sanctioned Late Model event at the track, debuted a new chassis and Ford engine package after qualifying 15th for the main event.
