Barre, VT — After yet another week off due to severe thunderstorms, Thunder Road is ready to return in a big way this Thursday, June 27. Headlined by Round #1 of the Myers Container Service Triple Crown Series for the Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers, this Thursday also serves as the popular return for two Thunder Road staples; the annual Kids Rides around the 1/4-mile highbanks and Scout Night, with all Scouts in Uniform admitted free!

Colchester’s Sam Caron leads ‘North America’s Number One Support Division’ back to the Nation’s Site of Excitement on Thursday as the popular Flying Tigers are ready to roll for 75-laps of heart-pounding action. While Caron is certainly enjoying his odds at a second track championship, the Myers Container Service Triple Crown has eluded him over the years. Defending Myers Triple Crown champion Logan Powers has shown growing consistency behind the wheel of his machine and would love to be the first Flying Tiger pilot to claim two consecutive Myers Container Crowns!
