WEST HAVEN, Vt. – Devil's Bowl Speedway, home of "Vermont's Fastest Family Fun," will welcome Thomas Dairy back as the presenting sponsor of its Kids Club for the track's 50th season of stock car racing in 2016.

The Kids Club expanded dramatically in 2015 with the support of Thomas Dairy and included kids of all ages in fun, free activities that got them into the action.  Thomas Dairy Kids Club events included racecar rides, bicycle races, a guided tour or the pit area, a poster contest, penny and candy scrambles, and a "Christmas in July" event that raised toy donations for local charity.  The ever-popular Interstate Batteries "Fun Bus" race track tour was also a regular part of the Kids Club.

"Our family has always loved Thomas Dairy milk, and their support is what allowed us to grow the Kids Club program at Devil's Bowl last season," Devil's Bowl owner Alayne Bruno said.  "There are tons of kids at the track, including our own kids Austin and Johnny and their friends, and it's great to give them something extra.  We'll be bringing back many of the activities from last year and bringing in some new events for our 50th season."

Thomas Dairy began in 1921, with the family's Rutland, Vt., farming roots in dating back to 1854, and the brand has been a staple in Vermont ever since.  Owner John Thomas is excited as well to once again support youngsters in the local Rutland-area community.

"We love to support activities for kids and the program that Devil's Bowl Speedway offers us a great way to give back to the kids of the community," John Thomas said.  "The kids love the special events that are offered to them at the track.  The pictures of some of the activities from last year were worth a thousand words, and the smiles on the youngster's faces certainly show how much they enjoyed the Thomas Dairy Kids Club activities.  We are proud to be a part of this program again in 2016."

Devil's Bowl Speedway will celebrate its landmark 50th season in 2016 with a full schedule of NASCAR Whelen All-American Series-sanctioned stock car racing and family entertainment on both its half-mile asphalt track and three-tenths-mile dirt track.

Devil's Bowl Speedway is located on Route 22A in West Haven, Vt., four miles north of Exit 2 on U.S. Route 4 and just 20 minutes from Rutland, Vt.  For more information, visit www.DevilsBowlSpeedwayVT.com or call (802) 265-3112.  Devil's Bowl Speedway is on Facebook at facebook.com/DevilsBowlSpeedway and on Twitter and Instagram at @DevilsBowlSpeed; follow the action using the #DevilsBowl hashtag.

WEST HAVEN, Vt. – A select group of asphalt and dirt stock car drivers from Devil's Bowl Speedway were honored on Monday night, December 28, as Internet news source Vermont Motorsports Magazine announced its annual "Driver of the Year" award winners.  The winners in 11 categories were revealed in a live audio broadcast at www.vtmotormag.com; more than 19,000 fan votes were tallied in a two-week span.

Former multi-time Devil's Bowl Speedway Late Model race winner Nick Sweet took top honors as the 2015 Driver of the Year in the overall voting, topping Modified racer Nick Heywood and multi-division dirt star Kevin Chaffee.  Devil's Bowl champions Vince Quenneville Jr. and Chris LaVair were among the 10 nominees in the top category.  The list of past VMM Driver of the Year overall winners includes Devil's Bowl competitors Todd Stone in 2013 and Don Miller in 2010.

Veteran NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Modified competitor Leon Gonyo was honored posthumously with three awards, winning Driver of the Year laurels in the Devil's Bowl Speedway, Airborne Park Speedway, and Open Wheel categories.  Gonyo, who passed away following a medical emergency during a victory lap at Devil's Bowl in September, was the overwhelming favorite on all three ballots; he won five races at Devil's Bowl in 2015.

Nouvel élan pour la Série Procam Super Truck en 2016 !

En effet la série Procam Super Truck sera menée en 2016, par un autre groupe de dirigeants. Sylvain Brouillette et Jean-Francois Fredette ne seront pas de retour pour gérer la série Procam.

Nous (Sylvain et Jean-Francois) tenons à remercier M. Rhéal Carpentier pour sa confiance et j'en profite pour saluer son travail et sa persévérance. 
Nous en profitons, aussi pour remercier les pistes et les pilotes avec nous avons travaillés dans le passé.

Shenette To Start 2016 Season With Slate Of PASS National And Northern Races

Shenette To Start 2016 Season With Slate Of PASS National And Northern Races

 

THOMPSON, CT (December 28) – With the Mason-Dixon Meltdown in the history books, Dynasty Motorsports is solely focused on competing in 2016.

"Our only goal for this year is seat time," said team owner and driver John-Michael Shenette.  "With seat time come's consistency, and with consistency comes success.  We have the car and the resources to compete in the Pro All Stars Series, now it's time to put our effort to good use and show results."

In addition to the Karting 2 Conquer Cancer Go-Kart event in January, Dynasty Motorsports has also submitted an application for the Winter Meltdown at Greenville-Pickens Speedway in South Carolina. The race is the first Pro All Stars Series National and South event of the year, and will be held on February 6th.

"I was pretty disappointed after battling battery issues at Hickory in November, but was able to regain confidence after medical issues, and also got some great seat time," says Shenette.  We're ready to battle hard at Greenville, a flat track with long straightaways that I hope drives like Devil's Bowl in Vermont. I love flat race tracks and feel that we'll put together a solid effort through qualifying and the race."

Following the Winter Meltdown at Greenville, Shenette and the Dynasty Motorsports team plan to compete in the next two PASS National Championship Series events, the 11th Annual Easter Bunny 150 on March 26 at Hickory Motor Speedway in North Carolina and at their hometrack, the Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park for the Icebreaker.  Shenette also plans to compete in the PASS North Super Late Model events in April at Oxford Plains Speedway and Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, both in Maine.

The Summer Nationals kicks off on June 15, 2016 at Brownstown (Indiana) Speedway

SummerNationalsThe Summer Nationals kicks off on June 15, 2016 at Brownstown (Indiana) Speedway

CONCORD, N.C. – Dec. 21, 2015 – DIRTcar announced today the format and payout for the 2016 Late Model Summer Nationals championship.

In 2016, the demanding schedule will be divided into five separate weeks crowning weekly champions and rewards from a weekly point fund. Each of the weekly point funds pay the top-ten drivers that week, with $2,000 going to the week's champion. Drivers competing for a position in the points fund payout must attempt to qualify for all races during that week. The points for the weekly points fund will be reset each Monday with all points, regardless of finishing position, transferring to the series championship standings.

The Late Model Summer Nationals championship will be awarded to the driver with the highest cumulative points earner through the entire tour. The $30,000 championship points fund pays the top-five finishers with $15,000 to the winner.

"We are excited to introduce this new format for the DIRTcar Late Model Summer Nationals championship," said DIRTcar UMP Director Sam Driggers. "We believe this new feature will add a special dimension to the 2016 Summer Nationals and provide extra incentive and competition in one of the most grueling schedules in all of motorsports."

In addition to the format announcement, the series adds Plymouth (Ind.) Speedway and Merritt Speedway for the first time ever. The Summer Nationals takes on the 3/8 mile oval of Plymouth on July 12 before heading north to Merritt in Lake City, Michigan on July 14.

The Summer Nationals is annually one of the most grueling and competitive series in motorsports. The last four seasons have seen three different champions, including last year's winner Bobby Pierce. The 18-year-old was the youngest champion in series history and with his father Bob became the first ever father and son to win the Summer Nationals title. In 2014, Brian Shirley became a first-time champion of the series after racking up five wins.

PASS National Championship Series To Be Highlighted By Major Events In North And South

PASS National Championship Series To Be Highlighted By Major Events In North And South

 

-      43rd Annual Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway to pay PASS Super Late Model winner $25,000, plus $25,000 in guaranteed lap leader money

-      Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory Continues Tradition as Spring's Premier Super Late Model Event

-      Greenville-Pickens, Thompson, Beech Ridge, And Concord Fill Out Remainder Of Championship Schedule

 

NAPLES, ME (December 23) – Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials have released the six dates and locations that will make up the 2016 PASS National Championship Series.  The schedule is comprised of six premier Super Late Model events in both PASS North and PASS South that will determine an overall PASS National Champion.  The PASS National Series will be highlighted once again by the prestigious 43rd Annual Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway in August.  And, the PASS National Championship Series will return to Connecticut's Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park for the first time since 2010.  While awards are currently still being finalized, the champion will once again receive a unique championship ring, while team members will receive championship belt buckles, from longtime PASS supporter, Northern Race Tire.

"Thanks to a lot of time and effort by a group of really dedicated people, we are very pleased to announce our 2016 PASS National Series,'" said PASS President Tom Mayberry.  "These events exemplify what's great about short track racing and we feel each of them will attract the best Super Late Model drivers from across the continent.  All of these events are unique and will prove to be a challenge for our competitors.  With events from Maine to South Carolina, a broad base of fans will get to see racers from all over North America come together to crown Super Late Model racing's only true National Champion."

The PASS National Championship Series gets underway in just over a month with the Winter Meltdown at Greenville-Pickens Speedway in South Carolina on February 6.  In addition to a talented group of PASS regulars, former PASS National Champions Ben Rowe, Joey Doiron and Jay Fogleman, who returns in 2016 to race for the national title, hope to contain a strong contingent of drivers from the United States and Canada as they tackle the tough, flat half-mile speedway for 150 green flag laps.  Fittingly on Super Bowl weekend, fans will get to see drivers from across the spectrum of short track racing as big events for the South East Limited Late Models, Southeast Supertrucks, and Mini Stocks will also be taking place as part of the Winter Meltdown.

From Greenville-Pickens Speedway in February, it is back to the most traditional stop on the PASS National Championship Series, Hickory Motor Speedway in North Carolina on March 26.  The 11th Annual Easter Bunny 150 will continue in 2016 as one of short track racing's biggest events of the Spring.  Since veteran Mike Rowe won the first Easter Bunny 150 back in 2006, Hickory Motor Speedway's hallowed victory lane has been cherished by every Super Late Model driver that has followed in his tire tracks.  This year's Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory will also be the inaugural event of the most anticipated new series in the country, the Southern Modified Racing Series Presented By PASS.

Race three of the 2016 PASS National Championship Series will be the first of the year in New England and will be contested at one of the fastest tracks in the country.  The PASS Super Late Models will compete for 75 laps at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in Connecticut as part of the Icebreaker weekend April 9-10, along with the NASCAR Whelen Modfieds.  PASS returns to Thompson Speedway for the first time since 2012 in an event that will also double as the PASS North Super Late Model season opener.

The next race on the 2016 PASS National Championship Series will be at perhaps the most legendary of all short track races.  The 43rd Annual Oxford 250 at Maine's Oxford Plains Speedway on August 28 will continue a tradition that started in 1974 and has seen such winners as Butch Lindley, Geoff Bodine, Junior Hanley, Ricky Craven, Mike and Ben Rowe, Kevin Harvick, and Kyle Busch.  And, with one of the richest purses in all of Super Late Model racing, the Oxford 250 should once again attract North America's best drivers, all competing for the $25,000 winner's share.  This year, Turner, ME's Glen Luce bested over 70 other drivers to claim over $30,000 for his first win in the prestigious race.

Next up, the PASS National Championship Series will hold its final race of the year in New England at another traditional stop, the Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, ME.  The PASS 400 Weekend at Beech Ridge on September 16-18 is always a favorite for both fans and competitors and this year's contest will be no different.

The PASS National Championship Series will conclude on November 5 at Concord Speedway with the 14th Annual North-South Shootout.  PASS made a successful return to Concord in 2015 with events in May and November.  The 2016 North-South Shootout will again be a test of man and machine around the treacherous half-mile triangular speedway.  It will be a big weekend of racing that will see the inaugural Southern Modified Racing Series Presented By PASS champion crowned the night before and the PASS South Super Late Model champion also crowned on Saturday, November 5.

The Pro All Stars Series is recognized as North America's premier sanctioning body for asphalt Super Late Models and boasts such marquee events as PASS South's Easter Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway and the legendary Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway.  For technical information on the PASS National Championship Series please contact Charlie Rockwell after 5 PM at 802-754-2822.  For media or marketing questions, please contact Alan Dietz at 704-231-2039 or alandietzpass@live.com.  Please visitProAllStarsSeries.com for more information and don't forget to "Like" the Pro All Stars Series on Facebook or follow us on Twitter at @PASSSLM14 to keep up with breaking news as it happens.

Waterbury, VT – The American-Canadian Tour (ACT) has announced the release of the 2016 ACT Late Model Tour schedule. The 13-event series will see the Tour visit 12 different tracks in six U.S. states and the province of Quebec as they pursue the $10,000-to-win ACT Championship.

 

The season will once again kick off with the New Hampshire Governor's Cup 150 at Lee USA Speedway on Sunday, April 10 and crown the 2016 champion at Connecticut's Thompson Speedway on Saturday, October 15. Other traditional early-season events which have returned include the 18th Merchants Bank 150 at Barre, VT's Thunder Road on May 1, the Spring Green 116 at Plattsburgh, NY's Airborne Park Speedway on May 14, and a 100-lap event at Fair Haven, VT's Devil's Bowl Speedway on June 4.

 

The 2016 schedule will again feature three ACT/Pro All Stars Series (PASS) doubleheaders. The two series open the Oxford Plains Speedway racing season on Sunday, April 17. ACT and PASS then travel to Quebec's Autodrome Montmagny on Saturday, July 23.The 150-lap event is the ACT U.S. Tour's first visit to the speedway since 1999 and is a combination event with Série ACT.

 

The third ACT/PASS doubleheader is set for Saturday and Sunday, September 17 and 18 at Scarborough, ME's Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. The ACT portion will mark the return of the Fall Foliage 200 to Beech Ridge, which previously hosted the event from 1987 to 1989. Beech Ridge will be the only track to host two ACT Tour events in 2016, with the Fall Foliage 200 being held in addition to their traditional early-August date.

 

Autodrome Montmagny is one of three tracks the ACT Tour will return to in 2016 after a long hiatus. The Tour visits Connecticut's New London-Waterford Speedbowl on May 21 and Massachusetts' Seekonk Speedway on July 16for the first times since 2010 and 2007, respectively, as part of the Southern New England Tripleheader. The three-race, three-track series concludes in the ACT season finale at Thompson as part of the World Series of Speedway Racing. Annual summer visits to N. Woodstock, NH's White Mountain Motorsports Park and Groveton, NH's Speedway 51 round out the schedule.
