Barre, VT – Following last week’s pre-season tire buy at Barre’s Thunder Road, Officials got a good look at what’s to come this summer at the Nation’s Site of Excitement.

Maplefields/Irving Late Model freshman Trevor Jaques and Kyle Streeter, Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tiger first-timers Cam Powers and Brodie Frazier and rk Miles Street Stock rookies Jason Kirby, TJ Haggett, Jaiden Del Toro, Tyler Wheatley and Keegan Tabor were among those leaning on veterans like Tommy ‘Thunder’ Smith, Shawn Fleury, Brian Hoar and Mike Billado, among others, for whatever nuggets of wisdom they could pick up.
