Williamstown native Sean “Chubby Rambo” McCarthy claimed the win in the 50-lap feature for the Burnett Scrap Metals Road Warriors on Thursday, Aug. 13.
The evening is one of the few during the season when the Road Warriors take center stage at Thunder Road with the Burnett Scrap Metals Road Warrior Challenge that culminates with a two-part, 50-lap feature event.
Other winners on the night included Stephen Donahue of Graniteville, who won the 50-lap feature for the Maplewood/Irving Oil Late Models. Bryan P. Wall of East Kingston, N.H., won the 40-lap feature for the Lenny’s Shoe and Apparel Flying Tigers and JT Blanchard won the 25-lap feature for the Allen Lumber Street Stocks for his first career victory.
McCarthy, who led on and off earlier in the race, took the lead for good with 13 laps to go; he passed Dan Garrett of Berlin on lap 37 after he mixed it up with another car and then held off all challengers to get his third career win in the division.
Thunder Road racers return to action tonight, Aug. 20 when all four divisions will have a full slate of racing. For more information, or full results from Aug. 13, visit thunderroadvt.com.
