Devil’s Bowl Speedway Asphalt Finale Postponed by Rain
Vermont 200 championship events moved to Saturday, September 19
WEST HAVEN, VT – Devil’s Bowl Speedway has postponed its asphalt stock car racing season finale to Saturday night, September 19 due to rain. Extra-distance feature events will be run to close out the Mekkelsen RV Vermont 200 Championship Weekend, and champions will be crowned for the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series presented by Yandow Sales & Service and John Deere.
First-round qualifying races were completed on Saturday, September 12 before wet weather moved into the area overnight. Morning showers and a forecast for continued rain throughout the day on Sunday forced the postponement.
Racing has been moved to Saturday night, September 19 at 5:00 p.m. All two-day grandstand tickets and pit area wristbands will be honored. In case of rain on Saturday, one final attempt to complete the event will be made on Sunday, September 20 at 1:30 p.m.
The Bond Auto Parts Modified division will run twin 50-lap feature races as Ron Proctor and Vince Quenneville Jr. vie for the track championship. Josh Masterson will try to wrap up his first championship in the Central Vermont Motorcycles Late Model division with a 100-lap main event, while Robert Gordon aims at the Brileya’s Chrysler-Jeep Renegade championship and Chris LaVair goes for the Portland Glass Mini Stock title. The MFT Sauce & Rub Co. Enduro Series will also be in action with a 50-lap race.
General admission for the Mekkelsen RV Vermont 200 is $20 on Saturday, September 19; kids age 12 and under will be admitted free. Grandstands open at 3:00 p.m. and racing is at 5:00 p.m.
