With a full track surface transformation to dirt racing underway for the 2018 season, the Banquet of Champions will serve as the official end of the two-track era at Devil's Bowl and puts a celebratory finish on both the 1/2-mile Asphalt Track and the 3/10-mile Dirt Track.

Three first-time champions will be crowned with Dylan Rabtoy in the Rosen & Berger Super Stocks, Shawn Moquin in the Portland Glass Mini Stocks, and Seth Bridge in the Driven Transport Late Models. Five young drivers from the Bandit Youth Mini Stock division will also be recognized.
Dirt champions include eight-time Devil's Bowl king Kenny Tremont Jr. in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Central Vermont Motorcycles Sportsman Modifieds, as well as first-time champs Chris Murray in the Super Stocks, Chris Charbonneau in the Mini Stocks, Austin Chaves in the 500cc Mini Sprints, and Lacey Hanson in the 360 Sprint Cars. Cory Gray will also be honored for his second-straight Enduro Series title.
In addition to the champions, trophies will be given to top-ranking point standing drivers, Rookie of the Year winners, and peer-voted Sportsmanship and Most Improved Driver awards.
