Thompson still running

A severe thunderstorm passed through Thompson around 2:30 this afternoon, but track officials have been working hard to clear the water from the track and it looks as like the Bud 150 will run tonight.
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour is in town for a 150-lap show that will be preceded by the Thompson Modifieds (20 laps), Mini Stocks (15 laps), Limited Sportsman (20 laps), Sunoco Modifieds (30 laps), Pro Stocks (30 laps) and Late Models (25 laps).
The Bud 150 is scheduled to begin around 8:45 p.m. tonight.
Thompson Speedway's phone system was struck by lightning during the storm and is apparently out at this time.
