Barre –– Nick Sweet of Barre successfully defended his title in the Northfield Savings Bank Milk Bowl at Thunder Road, using a pair of wins in the three 50-lap segments to claim a two-point victory in the combined standings over Jason Corliss of Barre. It was the third Thunder Road Late Model Sportsmen Milk Bowl victory of Sweet’s career.

 

Corliss needed to finish within three positions of Sweet in the final race to earn the victory. He had a chance to move into fourth place, and claim the Milk Bowl crown, in the final laps of the third race, but couldn’t find his way through traffic and ended up in seventh place in the segment, and second place overall.

Moodie followed up his third-place finish in the opening 30-lap race Saturdaywith a second-place finish Sunday to finish one point in front of Cameron Ouellette of Barre and Dave Finck of Barre (both at six points) in the combined standings. Ouellete claimed the runner-up spot with his better finish in segment 2.

 

Trevor Lyman of Hinesburg, Stephen Donahue of Graniteville, Jason Woodard of Waterbury Ctr., Jaden Perry of Hardwick, Brian Delphia of Duxbury, Mark Barnier of Essex Jct., and Jason Pelkey of Barre rounded out the top 10.

Matthew Smith of Essex Jct., winner of Sunday’s 25-lap segment, claimed second place in the group tiebreaker by virtue of his higher finish in the second race. Alan Maynard of Fairfax (third overall), rookie Cooper Bouchard of Hinesburg (fourth) and Kevin Streeter of Waitsfield (fifth) rounded out the top five.
