Fisher finishes second at Carquest Governor's Cup 100
Barre's Nick Sweet claimed his second Thunder Road win of 2010 in the Carquest Governor's Cup 100 on Friday, June 25. Sweet took the lead from the pole and battled with Montpelier's Dave Pembroke throughout the 100-lap event. The two would swap the lead 12 times before Sweet got to the front for good on lap 94.
Pembroke would have to settle for third after Jamie Fisher of Shelburne got by in the closing laps. Senator Phil Scott claimed his third-straight top five finish with a fourth followed by Mike Bailey in fifth. Eric Williams came from 19th to finish sixth while ACT Tour Rookie of the Year contender Austin Theriault climbed from 21st to finish seventh. Matt White, John Donahue and Rich Lowrey rounded out the top 10.
The Carquest Governor's Cup was an ACT Invitational at New Hampshire Motor Speedway qualifier but Sweet already earned an invite for the Saturday, Sept. 19 event with his win in the Merchants Bank 150 earlier in the season.
Next Thursday, July 1 will be the Bond/WIX Tiger Tour 100 lapper at Thunder Road. The Tigers will be joined by the Late Models, Allen Lumber Street Stocks, and Junkyard Warriors. Post time is 6:30 p.m.
