Donahue Takes 47th Annual Chittenden Milk Bowl
Barre, VT - Graniteville's John Donahue won the 47th Annual Chittenden Milk
Bowl at Thunder Road International Speedbowl on Sunday, October 4. Donahue's
fifth place finish in the third segment was enough to edge out Brent Dragon
by just four points. Dragon went into the third segment as the overall
leader after winning the first segment and placing 10th in the second
segment. His tenth place finish in the third segment gave him an overall
score of 21 points for the three segment event.
Donahue took the green in the final segment trailing Dragon by just one
point. The two fought hard through traffic to get to the front but Donahue
got into the open air quicker and made it up to fifth and secured the win
with a combined score of 17.
Eric Williams finished third overall with 26 points, followed by Joey
Polewarczyk, Jr. (28), Brian Hoar (29), Dave Pembroke (31), Jamie Fisher
(31), Nick Sweet (31), Joey Laquerre (34), and Chip Grenier (37) rounded out
the top ten.
In the Tiger Sportsman division Shawn Fleury of Middlesex took home his
second win of the 2009 season at Thunder Road. His previous win was in the
Tiger Tri-State Series 100 back in August. Fleury was followed to the line
by Jason Corliss, Derrick O'Donnell, Tony Rossi and Bobby Therrien.
Williamstown's Jimmy Hebert was crowned the 2009 Tiger Sportsman Champion
after point leader Pete Ainsworth finished just one position shy of
qualifying for the main event. Hebert recovered from an early spin to edged
out Tony Rossi for the title.
Tommy Smith of Williamstown took his third win of the season in the Allen
Lumber Street Stocks. Mike Martin, Danny Doyle, Gary Bashaw and Marcus
Farnham completed the top five.
Gary Mullen of Tunbridge took the Allen Lumber Street Stock title over Mike
Martin after Tucker Williams failed to qualify. Mullen secured the
championship after finishing ninth in the feature. With that ninth Mullen
finished the year with ten top tens in 16 starts.
Cabot's Ken Christman took the Power Shift Junkyard Warrior feature win over
Keith Fortier and Kevin Streeter. Donnie Yates of Montpelier was crowned the
Power Shift Junkyard Warrior Champion even though he did not qualify for the
feature. He had a big enough lead over Christman going into the feature that
he could not be beaten. Yates had an amazing six wins during the 2009
season.
