Thunder Road Prepares for VP Fuel Night

Late Model Championship Coming to a Close

As drivers prepare for weekly championship action this Thursday night (August 16), division titles are nearing the homestretch at the “Nation’s Site of Excitement” Barre’s Thunder Road.  Only a handful of events remain for the Bond Auto Tiger Sportsmen, who are currently locked in one of the closest point battles in recent memory, as well as the Allen Lumber Street Stocks.  For Late Models, the championship is just around the corner.

Thursday will mark the beginning of the end for championship hopes in the Late Model division, as in a stretch of seven days they will run their final three point counting events.  A rainout event last Thursday has moved the Make-A-Wish/Bond night to Sunday, August 19, creating a weeklong dash to crown the Late Model “King of the Road.”

Thunder Road Make-A-Wish Event Make-Up Date Announced

Thunder Road International Speedbowl officials have announced the make-up date of the postponed Make-A-Wish/Bond event as Sunday, August 19. The event, which was postponed due to rain on Thursday, August 9, will now be a Sunday twilight show with a 4:30pm post time. The grandstands will open at 3:00pm with the pits opening at 2:00pm.
