Joey Scaraborough (11vt) and Shane Pecore (0) battle for the win of the JS Steel Sportsman Modified 25-lap event, which Pecore would win his second straight. Plattsburgh, NY — Airborne Park Speedway launched the opening round of the Thursday Night Thunder Series on a cool spring evening, delivering a full program of competitive racing across five divisions. Presented by the New England Ford Dealers, the event marked the second race of the 2024 season and drew strong fields in every class. The 358 Modifieds opened the night’s feature events with a front‑row contest between Carey Terrance and Dany Gagné. Terrance gradually extended his advantage while holding off a late charge from Felix Roy, who advanced from the third row. Terrance secured the victory, followed by Roy and Mike Mahaney. The Mini Stock division experienced multiple cautions during its scheduled 15‑lap feature. After seven laps, officials elected to conclude the race. At the time of the stoppage, Jeremiah King held the lead and was awarded the win, with Joe Warren finishing second. The 25‑lap Sportsman Modified feature showcased a competitive battle between Shane Pecore and Joey Scarborough. Pecore utilized the high line to complete a decisive pass for the lead and maintained control through the remaining laps, earning his second consecutive win of the season. A 12‑car Renegade field took the green for a 20‑lap event highlighted by early competition between last season’s championship contenders, Shawn Duquette and Tylor Terry. As the race progressed, Terry fell back, allowing Bill Thwaits to close in during the final laps. Duquette held off the challenge to secure his first win of the year. The evening concluded with the 20‑lap Limited Sportsman Modified feature, which brought 15 competitors to the track. Gary English led the opening laps before facing pressure from David Johnson and Joshua Patterson. Johnson executed a late‑race pass to claim his second victory of the season.
