This is one race that the NASCAR Whelan drivers have become decidedly nervous about. The Bud 150 has had a bad history recently at Thompson Speedway as two drivers have been killed in this race in the last three years.
Tom Baldwin, Sr. died in 2004 and last year, John Blewett III lost his life in an accident with his brother, Jimmy, just outside of turn one.
A prayer was said prior to the start of tonight's racing for John Blewett III and the Blewett family is selling memorabilia in his honor on the midway.
The racing started just about on time despite a severe thunderstorm that struck Thompson around 2:30 p.m.
Brian Sullivan won the first feature event as he took the 20-lap Thompson Modifieds race just ahead of Danielson's Glenn Boss.
