BARRE, Vt. (AP) — Vermont's stock-car-racing governor is back in victory lane.
Republican Gov. Phil Scott won the 50-lap feature Thursday at Barre's Thunder Road, taking home a total of $1,200.
Scott, a part-time racecar driver, is the all-time winningest driver in the top division at Thunder Road. The win was his 30th and his first since becoming governor in January.
He can now add to his list of accomplishments that he is the first sitting governor to win a Vermont stock car race.
Scott previously served three two-year terms as Vermont's part-time lieutenant governor.
