Dragon Claims Checkers On WDEV/Calkins Portable Toilet Night

By admin August 4, 2016 Thunder Road

Barre, VT – Patience was a virtue for Scott Dragon on WDEV/Calkins Portable Toilet Night. The Milton driver, who started 17th in the 22-car field, took over the lead with 12 laps to go and pulled away for the win in the 85-lap Thunder Road Late Model feature.

The early part of the event belonged to Eric Badore of Milton, who took over the lead from Darrell Morin of Westford on a 20th-lap restart. Badore opened up 10-car length lead as Morin and Cody Blake of Barre waged a side-by-side battle for second place for over 40 laps. Dragon finally moved into the top three on the 63rd lap, quickly overtook Phil Scott of Middlesex for second, then claimed the lead from Badore on lap 74.

Scott finished second, with Badore third. Nick Sweet of Barre, Jason Corliss of Barre, Kyle Pembroke of Montpelier, Blake, Trampas Demers of S. Burlington, Tyler Cahoon of Danville, and Mike Bailey of South Barre rounded out the top 10.

 Joe Steffen of Grand Isle finished in the top four in all three segments to claim the overall victory in the Bond Auto Tiger Sportsmen Triple 20s. Steffen had a third and two fourths for a combined 11 points, and earned his first victory of the season and the 14th Tiger Sportsmen victory of his career.

Mike Martin of Craftsbury Common, Stephen Donhaue of Graniteville, Cameron Ouellette of Barre, and Brendan Moodie of Wolcott rounded out the top five in the Tiger feature.

For the second week in a row, a rookie claimed the Allen Lumber Street Stocks feature. Cooper Bouchard of Hinesburg took the checkered flag over a 24-car field in the 25-lap main event. Bouchard started in second position, took the lead early, and stayed in front for the remainder of the race.

Richard Gravel of Wolcott and Peyton Lanphear of Duxbury, last week’s rookie winner, finished second and third, respectively. They were followed in the top 10 by Garry Bashaw of Lincoln, Jamon Perry of Hardwick, Jaden Perry of Hardwick, Kyle Streeter of Waitsfield, Brandon Lanphear of Morrisville, Greg Collette of Milton, and Gary Mullen of Tunbridge.
