Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre hosted its Super Thursday racing program on June 4, with Brandon Gray of East Thetford winning the 65-lap Late Model feature and Ben Seitz taking the 75-lap New England Supermodified Series race.

Gray, driving the No. 29, led the final laps after a restart with five laps remaining, holding off Justin Prescott and defending champion Jason Corliss. The race saw multiple lead changes and a late-race spin by Brandon Lanphear brought out the caution.

In the Supermodified feature, Seitz paced the entire 75-lap distance, but Jon McKennedy pressured him in the closing laps. Seitz held on for the win over McKennedy and series champion Jeffrey Battle.

Other winners included Tyler Wheatley in the 30-lap Street Stock race and Parker Gagne in the 50-lap Flying Tigers main event, who earned his first career victory.

Local competitors included Marcel Gravel (Wolcott, 5th in Late Models), Luke Peters (Groton, 3rd in Flying Tigers), and Walker Fitch (Marshfield, 16th in Street Stocks).
