For Immediate Release DBS-010715-1
WEST HAVEN, VT – Devil's Bowl Speedway has released an exciting new 19-event stock car racing schedule for its 49thseason in 2015, providing something for fans of all types of action. From May to early October, 14 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series events will be contested on the half-mile asphalt oval with an expanded five-event slate on the new one-third-mile clay surface on The Dirt Track at Devil's Bowl.
The racing calendar was built with the changing schedules and budgets of race fans, families, and teams in mind, and works hand-in-hand with sister track Airborne Park Speedway in Plattsburgh, NY as well as other area raceways. Devil's Bowl and Airborne will run on alternating Saturday nights in the spring before regular Friday night racing begins after many of the area's high schools conduct graduation ceremonies.
The NASCAR Whelen All-American Series season opens with a bang on Saturday night, May 9 as the headline Bond Auto Parts Modified division runs a 100-lap race with the Late Model, Renegade, and Mini Stock classes also in action. The Renegades take their turn at center stage on Saturday, May 23, running their first-ever 100-lap race at Devil's Bowl.
June comes in like a lion with a big weekend on June 6-7. The American-Canadian Tour Late Models return for their first-ever under-the-lights race at Devil's Bowl on Saturday night, June 6, with the People's United Bank 100. On Sunday, June 7, The Dirt Track at Devil's Bowl opens for an afternoon special with Sportsman Modifieds, Renegades, and Mini Stocks slinging mud and flying sideways through the turns.
Weekly Friday night asphalt racing fires up on June 19 with twin Modified features and a special appearance by the New England Antique Racers. Independence Day weekend is jam-packed with the annual Coca-Cola Firecracker special on the asphalt onFriday, July 3 and the Sprint Cars of New England tour invading The Dirt Track on Sunday, July 5. Both events will feature extra-distance racing and holiday fireworks.
The double-points Rutland Herald Mid-Season Championships will be held on the asphalt on Friday, July 10 before the track goes dark for the annual mid-summer break. Weekly Friday night racing returns on July 24 as the open-wheel Valenti Modified Racing Series makes its first Devil's Bowl appearance with "drivers who live by the grace of God and 600 horsepower." Late-summer highlights also include C.J. Richards Memorial Weekend events on Friday, August 7 (asphalt) and Sunday, August 9 (dirt), and the annual Sugar & Spice Restaurant "Double Stack" Night on the asphalt on Friday, August 28.
As fall approaches, the annual Vermont 200 Weekend crowns champions in all four NASCAR Whelen All-American Series asphalt divisions, with qualifying and the region's biggest racing party on Saturday, September 12. Main events include a 100-lap Late Model race and twin 50-lap Modified features along with Renegade and Mini Stock championship finales on Sunday, September 13. The Dirt Track wraps up the season with back-to-back events on Sunday, September 27 and Sunday, October 4, with the exciting details for both events to be released at a later date.
