Boss wins at Thompson

It wasn't exactly an easy race for Glenn Boss, but the veteran Thompson Modifieds driver has had several of these in his career.
This time, it was one of his friends who wasn't so friendly as Kurt Vigeant of Oxford, Mass. and Boss bumped one another throughout the 20-lap feature.
Boss was able to withstand those bumps, including one that came on lap 19, to capture the checkered flag in a rain-delayed Thursday Night Thunder feature at Thompson Speedway.
Even before the track was completely dry, cars were running on it with Jeff Zuidema taking the first of two, 20-lap Late Model features.
Fred Michalski was leading the longest race of the year for the Mini-Stocks, a 25-lap event, but saw a good night fall well short as he broke before the halfway point and took several cars with him as he tried to get off the track.
Danny Field of Deep River eventually won the race, just ahead of Mike Romano.
Mike O'Sullivan of Springfield, Mass. won the Pro Stock 30-lap race as he held off the hard-charging Derek Ramstrom, the 16-year-old crowd favorite from Worcester, Mass.
