Dominant Performances at Thompson’s Twisted Tea Midsummer Thursday Showcase

Thompson, CT — Although early rains made for a shortened practice schedule on Thursday, Thompson Speedway lit-up the night for the final round of Thursday Night Thunder this season. Dominance was the word to describe Thursday’s racing action at Thompson Speedway with the night starting off under the command of the fan-favorite Street Stock class. Former multi-time track champion ‘Leadfoot’ Larry Barnett led the 20-lap main event for the Street Stocks from the drop of the green flag to the twin checkered flags for his first win of the season. While ‘Leadfoot’ dominated up front, all eyes were on Ryan Waterman as he charged from eighth-place to third in the fast-paced feature event.
