Gravel takes late models, Caron wins first round of Myers Triple Crown
BARRE, Vt. (WCAX) - After seeing last week’s Governor’s Cup night postponed, the Thursday action at Thunder Road resumed this week with the first leg of the Myers Containers Service Triple Crown Series for the Flying Tigers. The Late Models race was fairly uneventful for the first 25 laps, as a group of four led by Chris Roberts and Phil Scott paced the way. Marcel Gravel was just behind the two, and was able to take the lead on lap 30, overtaking Roberts. Gravel would hang on to his lead after a restart, and stay in front throughout the final 12 laps to earn his first win of the season. The Myers Triple Crown race was controlled most of the way by Sam Caron. Neck and neck with Brandon Gray initially, Caron took the lead 17 laps in, and never looked back. The Colchester native earned his second win of the season, and is the current points leader in the division. The 25-lap Street Stocks race saw Josh Lovely earn his first win of the season, running away from the field at first. A caution brought everyone back together about halfway through, but only for a moment, as Lovely sprinted away with just two laps to go following one final yellow flag.
