For Immediate Release                            TR-072708-1

    BARRE, VT Troy Gray earned a soggy $2,000 check at Barres Thunder Road on Sunday night after winning the 24th Annual
M&M Beverage Enduro 200, a survival-of-the-fittest stock car race that featured a half-hour rain storm and two rollovers.  Gray,
40, of Fairlee drove a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse #00 sponsored by C.W. Gray & Sons and Connecticut Valley Auto Auction.
    Grays victory at Thunder Road was the second of career.  The driver won a feature race in 1987 on his way to the Street
Stock divisions season championship.  He is now a regular competitor in the Modified class at Bear Ridge Speedway in Bradford.
    Rory Partlow of Northfield finished second, unofficially, with 200 laps complete.  He drove his Gillespies Fuel & Propane
1996 Chevrolet Corsica #51 to a $500 pay day.  Barres Keith Fortier and Ryan Zeno of Fairfax finished third and fourth with 199
laps complete, with Danny Doyle of Han**** fifth at 197 laps.  The unofficial top ten was completed in order by Richie Turner of
Fairfax (194 laps), Brett Wood of Georgia (194), Terry Pearce, Jr. of Berlin (193), Kaleb Shepard of Bristol (191), and David
Lamell of Johnson (190).
    Greg Adams, Jr. of Hardwick dominated the Allen Lumber Street Stock divisions biggest event of the year, a 50-lap, $300-
to-win race.  Adams started 20th and quickly worked to the front of the pack, taking the lead before halfway.  Erik Steel of Barre
posted a career-best runner-up effort ahead of Danvilles Bruce Melendy.  Jason Corliss of Plainfield finished fourth,
unofficially, with Hardwicks Bunker Hodgdon fifth.
    Jeremy Fleury of Williamstown won the first of two 15-lap Power Shift Online Junkyard Warrior races.  Neal Foster of
Waterbury finished second over Berlins Scott Weston.  In the second race, Jeff Martin, Jr. of Moretown held off a close challenge
from Ken Christman of Cabot and Travis Hull of Graniteville.
    Thunder Road is back in action on Thursday, July 31 with the annual Port-A-Potty Grand Prix presented by Calkins
Portables and WDEV Radio.  There will also be a match race between Montpelier Mayor Mary Hooper and Barre City Mayor Thom Lauzon,
in addition to regular championship events for the Late Model, NAPA Tiger Sportsman, Allen Lumber Street Stock, and Power Shift
Warrior divisions.  For more information, call (802) 244-6963 or visit www.thunderroadspeedbowl.com.
