Fisher/Federated Auto Parts Night Full of Action at Thunder Road

For Immediate Release                                    TR-071707-1

    BARRE, VT The annual Fisher/Federated Auto Parts stock car event at Barres Thunder Road on Thursday
(July 19) will be chock full of action.  In addition to championship events for the American-Canadian Tour Late
Models, Tiger Sportsmen, Allen Lumber Street Stocks, and Power Shift Junkyard Warriors, a pair of special events
will fill the card.
    The inaugural Media Madness race and a preview for the 23rd Annual M&M Beverage Enduro 200 will
highlight the nights program.  Even with the added attractions, Thunder Roads traditionally low regular general
admission prices will remain in effect at only $9 for adults, $3 for kids, and just $18 for a family of four the
best family entertainment value in Vermont.  Post time is scheduled for 7:00pm, with preliminary events at 6:30pm.
    The inaugural Media Madness race will feature members of the television, radio, print, and Internet news
media in Junkyard Warrior racers.  Included in the entrants for the race are Mike McGill of WCAX-TV Sports (CBS 3,
Burlington, VT), Jamie Scavotto of WPTZ-TV Sports (NBC 5, Plattsburgh, NY), Jumpin Jim of Froggy 100.9 FM, Anna
Grearson, sports writer for the Barre-Montpelier (VT) Times Argus, and Mike Twist of short track racing news
website Speed51.com.
    The trash talking has already begun between the television sportscasters.
    All I want to do is beat McGill, said Scavotto.
    All I want to do is make fun of Scavotto when he loses to me, McGill replied.
    A special preview to the 23rd Annual M&M Beverage Enduro 200 is also on tap for the first 20 entrants into
the Sunday, July 29 event.  The Enduro is a survival race for amateur drivers in virtually street-legal
machines.  Over 100 cars will start the race, with the first driver to complete 200 laps earning a cool $2,000
prize.
    Expected for the Enduro preview are Nick Lawrence of Grand Isle, Anthony Chauvin of Hyde Park, Phillip
Mullen of Cambridge, Paul Wells of Enosburg, and M&M Beverage Enduro 200 legend Dipstick Don Tofani of
Plainfield.
