Barre, VT — Following a meeting between Thunder Road officials, Vermont state government officials and representatives of the Squier family, all parties have announced today that the Kenley Dean Extravaganza – A Celebration of Life, for the One-and-Only, Ken Squier is in full planning stages and scheduled for Saturday, May 4 at Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, Vermont.

While the particulars, including the panel of speakers, are still in the planning stages, all parties agreed that this is meant to be an extravaganza to celebrate a one-of-a-kind life. Dave Moody, who also joined the planning meeting via video call said, “This is truly a celebration of Ken. Although we were, and are, saddened by his loss, we also all know that he wouldn’t stand for some somber, black suit get-together.”

Governor Phil Scott added, “One of the things we all agreed on is this will certainly be a celebration, a time to tell our favorite Ken stories and a time to remember all that he has done for our state and, of course, the sport of stock car racing.”

As in years past, Saturday, May 4 will start at 7:00am with the pit gate opening for Thunder Road and American-Canadian Tour teams for Car Show set-up. Gates will open at 9:00am for spectators, completely free of charge with the Kenley Dean Extravaganza to begin at 12:00-noon, again free and open to the public.
