Vermont Lottery Night Kicks-Off Two-in-a-Row Sunday Twilight Specials

With rain plaguing the Nation’s Site of Excitement once again this summer, a pair of Sunday make-up events begin in earnest this Sunday, August 11 with the Vermont Lottery Twilight Special! With a special 5:00pm Post Time this Sunday, the Vermont Lottery program is highlighted by the return of the Myers Container Service Triple Crown Series in Round #2 for the extra-distance mini-series for the fan-favorite division plus continued action from the Late Models, double Street Stock features and Road Warriors!

Following Thursday’s rain-out, the rk Miles Street Stocks are still looking to complete their 50-lap special and Sunday’s Vermont Lottery program has become its latest venue. Sunday’s racing action will begin with the 50-lap Street Stock special with double features once again slated for the popular four-cylinder division. With the schedule changes, the rk Miles Street Stock Triple Crown will still end on Community College of Vermont Night on Sunday, August 18.

The Myers Container Service Triple Crown returns to the Thunder Road highbanks to headline Vermont Lottery night with 75-laps of extra-distance racing for the Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers. Former track champion Sam Caron leads the Triple Crown standings and looks to take his first Myers Triple Crown championship. Hot on his heels is division phenom Brandon Gray and longtime Flying Tiger hot-shoe Shawn Fleury with the extra-distance showdown expected to bring quite the crowd of teamsters on Sunday!

The Maplefield/Irving Late Models return to King of the Road track championship action on Sunday as the crowd of Thunder Road’s finest chases young Kaiden Fisher for the overall crown. The Burnett Scrap Metals Road Warriors also return to the highbanks for continued action and final adjustments for next Sunday’s CCV 50-lap Challenge!

Next up for Thunder Road is the make-up date for the rain-postponed Vermont Lottery Night headlined by Round #2 of the Myers Container Service Triple Crown Series for the Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers! The four-division card will also include the rk Miles Street Stock 50-lap special make-up for four-cylinder Double Features plus the Maplefield/Irving Late Models and Burnett Scrap Metals Road Warriors with a 5:00pm post time!
