ACT PR - Pembroke Wins at Devils Bowl
| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ACT – 052310 West Haven, VT – Montpelier’s Dave Pembroke took the win in the Thunder Road Late Models 100 lap event at the freshly paved Devils Bowl Speedway in West Haven, VT on Sunday, May 23. Pembroke battled side-by-side with hometown favorite Mike Bruno of Rutland, VT for the majority of the race, which was the season opener for Devils Bowl and also the opening event in the Thunder Road Late Models 2010 championship campaign. |
| Pembroke took the lead on lap 14 after starting in the 3rd position before swapping the lead with Bruno, who started 7th for the remainder of the event. Pembroke broke away from Bruno several times while working through lap traffic but Bruno reeled him in each time, but didn’t have enough to complete the pass. Pembroke and Bruno were followed to the line by pole-sitter Tracie Bellerose, Brent Dragon and Joey Becker completing the top five. Senator Phil Scott, Nick Sweet, Mike Bailey, Tony Andrews, and rookie Chris Riendeau rounded out the top ten. The 100 lap event was slowed by six cautions including a red flag for a Grant Folsom flip on the front stretch. The race was completed in just over 1 hour, 12 minutes. Sixteen of the twenty-six starters were on the track for the checkered flag. Pembroke will look to repeat his 2009 Mekkelsen RV Memorial Day Classic win next Sunday, May 30 when the Thunder Road Late Models are back in action on the highbanks of Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, VT. The Late Models will be joined by Thunder Road’s three support divisions and the Modified Racing Series. Both the Late Models and the Modifieds will be running 100 lap events. Post time is 1:30pm.
