By Phil Whipple
Staff Writer
BARRE, Vt. — The season-long battle for supremacy between Thunder Road mainstays John Donahue and David Pembroke gets intense this Thursday, as the two central Vermont drivers sit tied atop the standings with just three points races remaining.
Donahue, of Graniteville (who didn’t even start racing until he was 26, hence his car number), got his 2011 season off to a great start back in May with a victory in the Memorial Day Classic. He carried that momentum into summer with a victory in the prestigious Vermont Governor’s Cup in June, then added a 50-lap weekly feature win on July 21.
