Barre, VT — Following qualifying events for the five divisions present for the NEFCU+VSECU Labor Day Classic, the Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers started off feature racing action with Ty Delphia and Adam Maynard leading the charge. The side-by-side duo battled hard at the head of the pack with Maynard getting the ultimate edge to lead the field as Luke Peters and Cooper French battled hard in third. Brendan Moodie and Logan Powers in their tails sent renewed urgency to French and Peters as the battle continued to get physical. The veterans would go on to school the young-guns with Adam Maynard collecting the holiday weekend win followed by Brendan Moodie and Logan Powers at the line.

The Pro-4 Modified return to Thunder Road got off to a poor start for Bradley Osgood with a junked right front off the Widowmaker frontstretch wall while Northfield’s Ben Ashford paced the field. Kurt Lester quickly got the better of Ashford with a rear-view mirror of point leader Rob Richardi, Jr. Richardi would take the restart lead after an underpowered Craig Philips stopped on the front straightaway but Lester remained tight to his rear bumper lap after lap. Rob Richardi, Jr. took down the win with Brandon Lavoie and Ben Ashford joining the NEFCU+VSECU podium after a mid-race spin and save cost Kurt Lester a chance at the top-three.

Twenty-eight rk Miles Street Stocks were on hand Sunday with Scott Weston and Mike ‘The Biffer’ Gay at the head of the field. Weston kept pace on the inside groove with ‘The Biffer’ working the outside groove before a lap seven melee saw Paige Whittemore get the most of it, backing up hard into the turn one tire barrier and ending her day early. With the restart, Juan ‘Paco’ Marshall joined the fray but also struggled on the outside groove and yielded to Weston. Championship hopefuls Trevor Jaques and Ryan Foster tangled on the backstretch on lap 17 but Foster remained rolling and Jaques sat safely on the infield to keep the race green. Scott Weston kept it rolling on the bottom to claim career win number four followed by Mike Gay in second and Juan ‘Paco’ Marshall in third.

Leading Maplefield/Irving Late Model driver Kaiden Fisher brought the American-Canadian Tour NEFCU+VSECU Labor Day Classic to green as the pole sitter but quickly found himself mired, spinning in turn four before the completed lap and on the tail end of the field. While Derry, New Hampshire’s Erick Sands found himself in the top spot on the restart, Thunder Road’s Marcel Gravel and Scott Dragon quickly took the point to lead the field. Dragon motored around Gravel to lead lap 20 with Gravel content to follow the two-time King of the Road in the opening circuits.

The two local hot-shoes kept things interesting up front until D.J. Shaw made his presence known after the lap 47 caution for the stalled Peyton Lanphear in turn three. The local Maplefield/Irving Late Model warriors made their presence known against the ACT Touring stars before rains called out the final caution on lap 118. A bleak radar pushed officials to end the NEFCU+VSECU Labor Day Classic with an official finish giving Scott Dragon his first career Labor Day Classic victory to join father Bobby Dragon on the granite monument followed by Shaw and Erick Sands on the podium.

Thunder Road closes out the track championship season with a pair of Friday night specials starting this Friday, September 6 with the rain-postponed McGee Hyundai of Barre Night with the New England Supermodified Series (NESS) joining the weekly racing action! The five division showcase will also include the Maplefield/Irving Late Models, Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers, rk Miles Street Stocks and Burnett Scrap Metals Road Warriors with a 7:00pm Post Time.
