(Alan Ward photo) –by T.J. Ingerson (@TJIngerson) VMM Editor Vermont Motorsports Magazine founder Justin St. Louis told me when we met in the Spring of 2011 as I was deciding to join him that he created VMM to tell stories. Here’s one you’ve probably never heard. In the fall of 2010, I received a message from Justin asking if I would be interested in joining VMM the following year. My first thought was “what do I know about journalism, or at the very least, storytelling”. At the time, my driving career was washed up and long over, and I didn’t have that much interest in crewing. But I wanted t ..read more

–by T.J. Ingerson (@TJIngerson) VMM Editor BARRE — Bobby Therrien had done what he needed to do as he crossed under the white flag. The Hinesburg driver was in front of Jason Corliss as the two drivers battled head-to-head for the win in the 56th Annual Northfield Savings Bank Vermont Milk Bowl. But in less than ten seconds, Therrien went from a visit with Aris the cow in victory lane to a disappointing runner-up finish. “It’s tough, but it’s racing,” Therrien said. “We build these cars and we go through good times and we go through bad times. “Overall, we still finished second.” Therrien sat ..read more

The hometown driver snuck past Bobby Therrien through turns three and four on the final lap of the final segment to steal the overall win. Therrien went high to avoid Jimmy Hebert’s car after it had shut down off of turn two on the final lap. Corliss dove to Therrien’s inside once past Hebert and beat Therrien by 0.039 seconds — mere inches. “It’s hard…it’s hard (to find words),” a speechless Corliss said. “It’s surreal to ..read more
