Local driver Jason Corliss continued his resurgence after a tough start to the season by winning the North Country Federal Credit Union Late Model Trophy Dash at Thunder Road on Thursday, June 25.
Corliss started fourth and took the lead from Matt White on lap 29 of the 50-lap event. He then held off a late charge from sophomore competitor Josh Demers to earn his first win of the year and third of his Thunder Road Late Model career.
Demers finished second, while defending Champion Derrick O’Donnell caught White in the final laps for third. John Donahue, rookie Darrell Morin, Cody Blake, Phil Scott, Dave Pembroke, and Trampas Demers rounded out the top-10.
Wolcott’s Brendan Moodie took his second win of the season in the Bond Auto Tiger Sportsmen 35-lap feature. The veteran got around rookie Derek Barker just before the halfway point and held off a late charge from point leader Mike Martin for the victory.
Martin finished second followed by Barre driver Doug Crowningshield. Stephen Donahue, Jason Woodard, Chris Pelkey, Mike Billado, David Finck, Dylan Payea, and Caleb Nelson also earned top-10 finishes.
N. Montpelier’s Donny Yates was the winner of the 25-lap Allen Lumber Street Stock feature. Jaden Perry took second and Kyle Streeter earned his third straight podium finish in third, Gary Mullen, Marcel Gravel, Garry Bashaw, Chris LaForest, Patrick Tibbets, Richard Gravel, and Matthew Smith completed the top-10.
Thunder Road kicks off a holiday doubleheader next Thursday, July 2 with Aubuchon Hardware Night. All weekly divisions will be in action and the evening will be capped off by the biggest fireworks display in the northeast. Post time is 6:30pm.
