For Immediate Release DBS-050912-3

WEST HAVEN, VT – Former NASCAR National Champion Keith Rocco will trek north to Devil’s Bowl Speedway on Sunday, May 13 for the Mother’s Day Special event. The Wallingford, CT superstar will compete in the championship-opening race for the J&S Steel Late Model division.

Rocco was the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series National Champion in 2010 and has ranked fourth or better for each of the last five years. The Devil’s Bowl feature event will be the fourth race of his busy weekend; Rocco will run an open-wheel SK Modified and a full-fender Late Model on Friday night at Stafford Motor Speedway in his native Connecticut, heads to Monadnock Speedway in Winchester, NH on Saturday for a 200-lap NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event, and rides north for his first-ever race in Vermont on Sunday.

“We’re coming to race, to have fun, and hopefully to win,” Rocco declared. “If you’re not trying to win, you shouldn’t be out there, right?”

The 27 year-old, who is an engine builder by trade, already has six victories this season including one Late Model win at Stafford and another at Waterford (CT) Speedbowl in the same No. 1 Fearn Electric/ Clarence Realty-sponsored Toyota that he will drive at Devil’s Bowl. He reports that he has already received setup advice from last weekend’s American-Canadian Tour Spring Green winner Wayne Helliwell.

“All I really know about Devil’s Bowl is that it used to be a dirt track and now it’s paved,” Rocco admitted. “I’ve been told that it’s similar to Stafford, maybe a bit flatter. I’ve gotten to know Wayne Helliwell a little over the years, and he gave me a good starting point for a Devil’s Bowl setup last week. It must be pretty good, since he just won that big race.”

Rocco’s championship credentials may precede him, but Devil’s Bowl Speedway’s J&S Steel Late Model division regulars will be ready and waiting when he arrives. Main contenders Craig Bushey, Kevin Elliott, Matt White, Chris Wilk, and Norm Andrews of Vermont, New Yorkers Dan Petronis and Danny Sullivan, and New Hampshire’s Bryan Town will be gunning for Rocco on Sunday and each other all year. The J&S Steel Late Models will be joined in NASCAR Whelen All-American Series action by the Bond Auto Parts Modifieds, Renegades, and Bombers.

General admission for the Mother’s Day Special on Sunday, May 13 is $10 for adults, $9 for seniors (62+), and free for children 12 and under. Devil’s Bowl Speedway is located on Route 22A in West Haven, VT, six miles north of Exit 2 on US Route 4. For more information, call (802) 265-3112 or click www.devilsbowlspeedwayvt.com.

For Immediate Release DBS-050612-1

WEST HAVEN, VT – Devil’s Bowl Speedway fans rocked the grandstands with exciting season-opening stock car racing at the 101.5 “The Fox” Spring Green on Sunday afternoon. Wayne Helliwell, Jr., and Vince Quenneville, Jr., brought the house to its feet with close finishes and emotional landmark wins. Robert Gordon and Josh Masterson each started the 2012 campaign off in victory lane as well.

Helliwell, of Dover, NH, copped his first career victory on the American-Canadian Tour in a razor-close finish with Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. Helliwell started the 112-lap main event in third place but was held up in early traffic and fell back almost outside the top then. He clawed his way back to the front on the outside lane, taking the lead from Polewarczyk just after the halfway point in the race. Hudson, NH racer Polewarczyk held nothing back during the final laps as he tried to steal the win, but Helliwell persevered for his inaugural ACT Late Model Tour score. Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, ME drove from 20^th starting position to finish third ahead of Ray Parent and Randy Potter.

Vince Quenneville, Jr., made his return to Devil’s Bowl Speedway a popular one with his home track fans, taking the first Bond Auto Parts Modified victory of the year in the 35-lap NASCAR Whelen All-American Series feature. Quenneville, of Brandon, VT, drove into the lead on the outside of defending champion Ron Proctor after a restart with seven laps remaining and never looked back. Proctor, of Charlton, NY, held off a furious mid-race charge from Leon Gonyo for the runner-up spot. Jessey Mueller drove from 18^th starting position to finish third, with Gonyo fourth and rookie Joey Roberts completing the unofficial top five.

Rob Gordon of Milton, VT opened the season with a 25-lap score in the Renegade feature. Gordon beat Lance Rabtoy of Fairfax, VT in a comfortable margin at the finish, but not before two- and three-wide racing in the first half of the race. Ryan Keith finished third ahead of Frank Monroe and Jeremy Jones.

Rookie Josh Masterson of Bristol, VT started his Bomber division career on the right foot by winning that class’ 20-lap feature in his first career start. Harold LaVair of Gabriels, NY held on for second place. Ray Germain, Jr., was third, followed by John McCarron and Dan Collins.

Devil’s Bowl Speedway is back in action on Sunday, May 13 for a Mother’s Day Special event at 1:30pm. General admission is $10 for adults, $9 for seniors (62+), and free for children 12 and under. Devil’s Bowl Speedway is located on Route 22A in West Haven, VT, six miles north of Exit 2 on US Route 4. For more information, call (802) 265-3112 or click www.devilsbowlspeedwayvt.com.

Helliwell Claims First ACT Win, Unofficially Takes Over Point Lead

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ACT-050612

West Haven, VT – Wayne Helliwell Jr. of Dover, NH dominated the second half of The Fox 101.5 Spring Green 112 on the way to his first ever American Canadian Tour victory on Sunday May 6, 2012 at Devil’s Bowl Speedway. Helliwell took over the lead on lap 58 and had to fend off a late race attack from Hudson, NH’s Joey Polwarczyk Jr. to take the checkers. Austin Theriault of Fort Kent, ME stormed from the 20^th starting position to take over third, Ray Parent and Randy Potter completed the top five.

The race began with weekly competitor Craig Bushey leading the first lap after a +5 in the ACT plus minus system earned him the second starting position. Multi-time Oxford Plains Speedway Champion Ricky Rolfe took over for the next 26 laps before the lead was briefly wrestled away by former Thunder Road Champion Nick Sweet. Sweet only held on to the lead for two laps before Groveton’s Randy Potter took over the point.

Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. stormed from mid-pack to take the lead away from Potter on lap 50, only to have it taken away for good by Helliwell on lap 58. Helliwell started from the third position, but faded as far back as ninth before charging through the field in the second half. Helliwell had to endure a lap 98 restart and a no holds barred assault from Polewarczyk that put the large opening day crowd on its feet to claim his first ACT win and unofficially strip Williston’s Brian Hoar of the point lead.

Hyde Park’s Eric Williams climbed from 22^nd on the starting grid to finish sixth, followed by Rolfe, Quinny Welch, Brent Dragon, and Luke Hinkley completing the top ten.

The race was slowed by seven cautions, the first of which was a multi-car wreck when Glen Luce and Jamie Fisher spun in front of the field with no laps complete. The race was completed in 1:13:26, and 19 cars finished on the lead lap. All 34 ACT Late Models in attendance started the feature event.

Wayne Helliwell Jr. earned himself an invite to the ACT Invitational at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on September 22, 2012 with his win in the Spring Green 112. He joins Brian Hoar as the first two Invitational invitees to date.

The American Canadian Tour has next weekend off, but will be back in action at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford Maine on May 20, 2012 for the Oxford 150.

Thunder Road PR - SENATOR PHIL SCOTT TAKES RACE TO RUTLAND COUNTY

For Immediate Release ACT – 051910-33

Waterbury, VT – Senator Phil Scott from Middlesex is a three-time Thunder Road Champion. Scott is running for the Vermont Lt. Governor’s office in the coming election, his first state-wide political effort. When the American Canadian Tour (ACT) announced that the Late Model division from Thunder Road would be opening the new Devil’s Bowl Speedway in West Haven, VT, Scott was the first to applaud the decision.

An avid outdoorsman and one of the most successful stock car racers in Vermont history, Scott will try and win the first-ever ACT 100 lap feature event at the newly paved ½ mile oval that will serve fans from west of the Green Mountains, particularly Rutland County. “I certainly was happy when I learned that we were opening the Thunder Road season at the new Devil’s Bowl. I remember the history of the old days when the five track series included the ‘Rutland’ track. My focus Sunday is to try and win the race, but I suppose shaking a few hands and getting to know some folks in the Rutland/Addison county area would be a great opportunity.”

Scott and about a dozen other Thunder Road Late Model teams tested the new asphalt at Devil’s Bowl last weekend. The reports were that it is going to be very competitive and very fast. “I thought it was a lot of fun. It was fast, there are definitely a couple of lanes to race in, and I hope race fans in Vermont are really going to like this new look. Give the Richards family credit for making these kinds of improvements during what has obviously been a difficult economic time. I think it indicates that the entrepreneurial business spirit is still alive in Vermont and things are improving”, concluded Scott.

Over 25 ACT race teams are expected to attack the new asphalt this Sunday at the opening event. “This is a dream come true for me,” said Jerry Richards, managing partner of the family run business. The Richards family have all been involved in racing for decades, but with the conversion of the Devil’s Bowl Speedway and the sister track, Albany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta, NY, management of the two tracks was also divided among the family.

Sunday afternoon post time is 2:00 o’clock for the grand opening of the new Devil’s Bowl Speedway. Admission is only $15 for Adults and kids are free. Anyone that presents their 2010 Thunder Road Season Pass at the Devils Bowl front gate will receive $2 off a general admission ticket.

For additional information contact the ACT office at 802.244.6963, www.acttour.com, or media@acttour.com.
