Switser Makes it Two-for-Two in AOT Street Stock Triple Crown

Barre, VT – The first dry Bolduc Metal Recycling Enduro 200 in two years graced the fans and drivers at Thunder Road on Sunday afternoon. Twenty-nine rk Miles Street Stocks piled in for the annual Bolduc Metal Recycling Street Stock Special 50 lapper, Round #2 in the Vermont Agency of Transportation Triple Crown while 103 Enduro cars from across New England traveled up for the 41st annual People’s Race!

Trouble struck in practice for championship hopeful Jamie Davis with engine problems striking the #43 machine before he hopped aboard the newly re-numbered Tyler Whittemore ride for the day. TJ Haggett, Kylee Potter and Jason Kirby took home heat race wins prior to the 50 lap main event. Under the green flag, rookie Haggett stayed confidently in the lead as Potter and Mike ‘Biffer’ Gay fought door-to-door for second. In the meantime, Thursday’s winner Dean Switser Jr. made short work of the field and led the race following the turn one pileup that included Fred Fleury, Hayden Bushey, Walker Fitch and others.

Switser made the rest look like child's play even as Kyle MacAskill stayed glued to his rear bumper. Even while piling on the pressure from behind, Switser never faltered to take the 50 lap Bolduc Metal Recycling Special with MacAskill and the Biffer rounding out the top three. In post-race technical inspection, both the top three finishers and the top three point leaders were subject to a deep dive. Nate ‘Tater’ Brien was disqualified after a rough 50 lapper for unapproved suspension with his shocks not the same side-to-side.

The Bolduc Metal Recycling Enduro 200 was everything all of Vermont’s race fans look forward to each and every August with over 100 cars filing into the Thunder Road pits for the ultimate test of man and machine. E. Thetford’s Brandon Gray was the class of the field from the drop of the green flag, even as Dominic Bassett, Nick Dublois and Mike MacAskill stayed close on laps in the first hundred laps. Fellow former victor Richie Turner crept into the top five picture by the halfway point with both Turner and Gray running the same lap by the 120th circuit.

The battle intensified as the fight continued until Turner was forced pitside after completing 184 laps and never returned. Brandon Gray marched on for his second Bolduc Metal Recycling Enduro 200 triumph with closest competitor, Orange’s Alex Lemieux, eight laps down.

Thunder Road Int’l Speedbowl is back for an absolutely action packed Five Star Roofing Night! Headlined by the annual Road Warrior Challenge 50 lapper, the rk Miles Street Stocks will crown the AOT Triple Crown Champion while the Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers run double features including their rain-delayed Vermont Lottery trophy dash. The Maplefields/Irving Late Models make it a full show with Post Time set for 7:00pm.
