High-Quality Field Expected to Try and Fend Off NASCAR Invader
Barre, VT — NASCAR Cup Series star Ryan Preece arrives at Barre’s Thunder Road for the 42nd Essex Equipment Vermont Governor’s Cup this Thursday, July 15. The Berlin, CT native will take on a large field of talented Maplewood/Irving Oil Late Model racers defending their turf against the latest NASCAR invader.
Preece will have 150 green-flag laps to figure out the “Nation’s Site of Excitement” and do something drivers like Kyle Busch, Tony Stewart, Clint Bower, and Ken Schrader have been unable to — take home the victory. He will be in a car prepared by Dale Shaw, a well-known Northeast chassis builder. Dale Shaw Racecars have already taken multiple Late Model wins this year at Thunder Road and with the traveling American-Canadian Tour (ACT). Shaw, a many-time winner with ACT and the NASCAR Busch North Series, will also serve as Preece’s crew chief.
