Mike Mahaney (35) with the pass on the top on Preston Forbes (45R) as he was on the drive for three in the Hartson Total Opening 358 Modifieds for the win. It was the fifth round of the Airborne Park Speedway season and the third night of racing for Thursday Night Thunder, with 92 cars across five divisions: the Hartson Total Opening 358 Modifieds, JS Steel Sportsman Modifieds, Renegades, RainPro of Vermont Limited Sportsman Modifieds, and Mini Stocks. A strong crowd was on hand on a true Chamber‑of‑Commerce evening. After all the heat races were completed, the first feature of the night was the JS Steel Sportsman Modifieds, with 20 cars taking the green for the 25‑lap event. Dylan Rabtoy grabbed the lead at the start and faced an early challenge from Tanner Forbes, but Rabtoy steadily pulled away. Travis Bruno and Bucko Branham did their best to close the gap late, but Rabtoy was the class of the field, leading all 25 laps for the win and strengthening his hold on a top‑15 spot in the standings. In the points battle, Bruno finished 2nd while points leader Nick Heywood came home 8th, tightening the gap to under five points. Next up were the Hartson Total Opening 358 Modifieds, with 18 cars set for 30 laps. Preston Forbes took the early lead, but the story quickly became Mike Mahaney, who started 11th and charged through the field by ripping the top. A caution bunched the field, putting Forbes and Mahaney in the front rows. They battled for a couple of laps before Mahaney powered away to score his third straight win at Airborne Park Speedway. Tim Fuller completed the podium, and with points leader Felix Roy finishing 9th, Mahaney also took over the points lead. The RainPro of Vermont Limited Sportsman Modifieds were next for their 20‑lap feature, with 14 cars taking the green. Parker Dermody led early with pressure from Adam LaFountain, who eventually faded. The late‑race battle came down to Dermody and David Johnson, with Johnson taking the lead with about five laps to go. He went on to claim his third win of the season, followed by Brogan Roberts and Josh Patterson. Points leader Gary English finished 4th, while Kobe Hernandez finished 6th, slightly extending his advantage. Then came the Mini Stock 15‑lap event with a massive 27‑car field. The chaos began immediately as the leader spun in turn one on the initial start. On the restart, Randy Martin took the lead with Glen Engstrom close behind, but Speedy Bressette, Jake Fountain, and JP Corrow were charging through the pack. In the closing laps, Bressette worked past Martin to take the win, with Fountain finishing third. Points leader JP Corrow padded his lead over Jeremiah King, who finished 13th. The final race of the night was the Renegades, with 12 cars taking the green for 20 laps. Nathaniel Guay led early and was challenged throughout by Billy Thwaits and Shawn Duquette. Thwaits eventually made his move, taking the lead and scoring his second win of the season. With the top two in points finishing 2nd and 3rd, the championship battle remains tight through five races. Airborne Park Speedway returns to action on June 11th for one of the biggest events of the season as the DIRTcar 358 Modified and Sportsman Modified Series make their annual stop, along with the weekly racing divisions.
