Ticket Stubs and Wristbands Honored Friday at Devil’s Bowl Speedway Makeup Event
WEST HAVEN, VT – Stock car racing fans and competitors will be taken care of at Devil’s Bowl Speedway on Friday, June 15, as all grandstand ticket stubs and pit area wristbands from last week’s “I Am Vermont Strong 100” will be honored at face value. A powerful rain storm moved in after qualifying was completed for the event on Friday, June 8, and forced the main events to be pushed back a week.
Feature events for the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Bond Auto Parts Modified and Renegade divisions will be held on Friday, June 15 at 7:00, followed by the 100-lap I Am Vermont Strong 100 race. The Modifieds will run 35 big laps as defending track champion Ron Proctor of Charlton, NY tries for his third win in a row, and Pittsford, VT driver Ryan Keith will attempt his own three-peat in the 15-lap Renegade shootout. The four-cylinder Bomber division will run a special feature event as well.
Devil’s Bowl Speedway favorites Chris Wilk, Craig Bushey, Matt White, Bryan Town, and Dan Petronis proved that they’re up to the challenge against the Late Model invaders during qualifying for the “I Am Vermont Strong 100.” They’ll battle for Vermont State Championship Series bragging rights against Brent Dragon, Brian Hoar, Jean-Paul Cyr, Nick Sweet, Ricky Rolfe, and Lt. Governor Phil Scott on Friday.
Added to Friday’s card is the return of spectator racing. Race fans will have an opportunity to square off against each other in street-legal vehicles in one-lap elimination races around the Devil’s Bowl half-mile oval. The action is intense, entertaining, and occasionally hilarious as novice racers put their daily-drivers to the ultimate test. The winner of the final round will receive a trophy in victory lane.
All vehicles are welcome for the spectator races – cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, hot rods, Ferraris, delivery trucks, limousines, hearses, and more – but must be registered, inspected, and insured. All drivers must wear an approved helmet and register to compete before the event begins.
Fans and racers who attended Devil’s Bowl Speedway on Friday, June 8 will be admitted this Friday, June 15 at no charge with proof of ticket stub or pit area wristband. General admission for first-timers is $15 for adults, $13 for seniors (62+), and free for children age 12 and under. Gates open at 6:00pm with an early start time of 7:00pm.
Devil’s Bowl Speedway is located on Route 22A in West Haven, VT, just north of Exit 2 on US Route 4. For more information, call (802) 265-3112 or click www.DevilsBowlSpeedwayVT.com. Devil’s Bowl Speedway is on Facebook at facebook.com/DevilsBowlSpeedway and Twitter at @DevilsBowlSpeed.
