West Haven, VT – Saturday night at Devil’s Bowl was warm with folks from CCV (Community College of Vermont) on hand along with MVVDMS vintage racers in town. Walter J. Hammond handled the heat by burning up the Devil’s Bowl clay earning his second Sunoco Sportsman Modified feature win this season. Bubba McPhee, William Lussier Jr., Gage Provencher, and Allen Hewitt also visited victory lane.
Adam Piper and Shawn McPhee led the strong 30-car Sunoco Sportsman Modified field to Bob Bigelow’s green silk, with Leicester, VT racer Piper taking the early lead with his R&L Rubbish Removal 66. He would lead 16 laps until fifth place starting Walter J. Hammond came knocking wheeling his WH Building & Design 98H. The Canaan, NH driver had one win, and was looking for number two.
Hammond took the lead and held off a late race challenge from Wells, VT racer Don Mattison in his Monroe Mines number 10 to earn his second victory of the season. Manchester Center, VT driver Frank Hoard made some noise in his MJ Peltier Construction number 13 machine racing from 9th to 2nd, but ran out of laps.

LaDuc started 17th and raced his way to 4th.
Popular young man named Bubba earned his second O’Reilly Auto Parts Limited Sportsman feature win Saturday night. Rutland, VT racer John “Bubba” McPhee parked it as the kids say, with his Mike Hence Trucking number 22J. McPhee started third, took the lead lap three, and held off Alex Layn for the win. Layn, Josh LeClaire, Jason Quenneville, and John Gosselin completed the top five finishers.
