Chris Raabe (01) and Justin Stone (15x) battle for the lead for the restart and would see Chris Raabe get the win. It would be the second week of Thursday Night Thunder and the big event of the tab would be Renegade 30 lapper for $500 to win as it would be another packed night in the pits with around 110 cars in the pits. After all the heat races were run the first feature of the night on tap would be the Be Cool Heating and Air Condition 358 Modifieds for 30 laps and the early leader would be Justin Stone off the start of the race and hold it for the first portion of the race but there would be charger and past track champion Chris Raabe that would get around him around the midpoint of the race and would hold on there for his first win on the season and the hard charger on the night would be Preston Forbes that would gain 11 spots for the top ten finish. Then we would have the J+S Steel Sportsman Modified up for there 25 lap event that would see a full field of 32 cars take the green and just like last week it would be the Donovan Lussier show as he would start on the front row and just walk away from the field and capture his second straight win on the season and finishing out the top three would be Joey Scarbrough and Travis Bruno. Then it would be time for the main event of the weekend as it would be the 30-lap $500 to win 9th state Canabais Renegade feature and it would see an early race battle between Shawn Duquette and Richie Turner until Turner would get loose coming off one of the corners and end up in the infield. Then off the restart the race will be on up front between Shawn Duquette and Nathaniel Guay and in the late stages Guay would start pull away but it would be not without drama as a backmarker would turn to pull off with Guay right behind him slam on the brakes to narrowly avoid him. From there though Guay would hold on to scoire the win and the $500 first-place check. Then to finish off the night would be the Moore's Recycling Mni Stocks with their splits features. In the first feature, it would see Caleb Tourville start on the front and take the lead but the lead would be short-lived as Steven Bressette would take the lead and from there cruise to the checkered flag for the win. Then in the second feature, it would see a crowd favorite get his first career win as Chuck Mooney would wheel the popular mystery machine around for the win to close the night. The Airborne Park Speedway will come back to life next Thursday with Hometown Hero night as we honor the military and first responders as they will get free admission to the races with all four divisions on tap again.
