Officials with Thunder Road Int’l Speedbowl are proud to announce that the Vermont Air National Guard (VTANG) has partnered to present Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Championship Night at the Nation’s Site of Excitement on Thursday, September 24.
The Vermont Air National Guard is the proud home of the 158th Fighter Wing based in Burlington, Vermont. Federally recognized in August of 1946, the Green Mountain Boys began their first flying mission with the famed F-47 Thunderbolts and historically became the first Air National Guard unit to base the new F-35A Lightning II, the most advanced and capable weapon system in the U.S. Air Force. Yet, despite the milestones technology reached over this half of a century, the one element that remains the same is the indomitable human spirit of the men and women that make today’s "Green Mountain Boys."
VTANG is not just for those looking to pilot the nation’s most advanced jet-fighter technology, there are far reaching opportunities that can begin with taking the first step. With a part-time commitment, you’ll have the flexibility to live life on your terms - meaning more time with family, pursuing an education, maintaining a civilian career, or all the above.

“Thunder Road has been bringing Vermonters together for generations, making it a natural partnership for the Vermont Air National Guard,” said Lt. Col. Meghan Smith, VTANG Recruiting and Retention Commander. “We’re excited to connect with race fans, answer questions about serving in the Air National Guard, and show how military service can complement their education, career, and life right here in Vermont.”
