Barre, VT – It’s the one and only chance all year long for a race at Thunder Road to be set by time trials and two teams that call the Nation’s Site of Excitement home every Thursday made the most of it. Marcel Gravel took a fast time of 12.193 seconds to claim the pole early but Jason Corliss made him sweat as he watched from the infield. Corliss, the reigning and four-time King of the Road track champion dug deep to run a 12.194-second lap that just wasn’t enough to knock Gravel off the top spot. The two set the Booth Bros./Hood Milk front row for tomorrow’s 63rd Vermont Milk Bowl presented by Northfield Savings Bank with everyone else tightening the belts for the remainder of qualifying action.

2024 track champion Kaiden Fisher went on to win the first of the Twin 50 qualifier events while current Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour point leader Raphael Lessard would win the second 50 lapper, both pocketing a cool $1,000 for their Saturday victories. After it was all said and done, twelve cars are on tomorrow’s line-up sheet for the Last Chance Qualifier, all looking to be one of the final four additions to Sunday’s marquee event.

Fast times leading to the pole position was the story for Segment #1 in both the Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tiger and rk Miles Street Stock Mini Milk Bowls. Jason Woodard launched himself to the top of the thirty-strong Flying Tiger field in group qualifying and then maintained that position through the end of the first 40 lap segment. It was the same for youngster Hayden Morris, leading the time charts and surviving a strong fight with 2025 top rookie Hayden Bushey to win the first of two 25-lap segments. The real story is whether or not Woodard, Morris or Bushey can make their way through their respective fields in tomorrow's final sprint to seal the overall and cap 2025 with a bang!

Epping, New Hampshire’s Dan Bowes left last year’s Vermont Milk Bowl weekend with a totaled race car after smashing his rear end hard into the turn two concrete and ending his day in practice just one year ago. Today was a much different outcome. Bowes took the lead from early leader John Leonard and paced the field to the very end to take the 50-lap win over Mike Mayberry and point leader Jeffrey Battle.

The NELCAR Legends made their debut at Thunder Road sixteen strong, the first to tackle the highbanks. It was all Ryan Vanasse Jr. from the drop of the green flag in their caution-free 25-lap main event with Jace Mougin able to keep pace for second and Frank Sweeney taking third.

Tomorrow, Sunday October 5, is the 63rd running of the Vermont Milk Bowl presented by Northfield Savings Bank. The Toughest Short Track Stock Car Race in North America kicks off with the Last Chance Qualifier at 12:15pm prior to Opening Ceremonies at 12:40pm and the green flag at 1:30pm. Along with the $100,000 Vermont Milk Bowl presented by Northfield Savings Bank, the Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers, rk Miles Street Stocks, Burnett Scrap Metals Road Warriors and White Mountain Motorsports Park Kids Division will all crown their Mini Milk Bowl champions to round out the 2025 season at Thunder Road! Grandstands open at 9:45am with adult general admission available for $35, kids 12-6 for $10 and children five and under free!
