Final afternoon race before Friday summer schedule begins
WEST HAVEN, VT – Central Vermont Motorcycles presents Devil’s Bowl Speedway’s final Sunday afternoon stock car race of the Spring season at 1:30pm on Sunday, May 20. The event is the third round of the track’s NASCAR Whelen All-American Series slate and will be the final tune-up for the all-new Friday night summer schedule, set to begin on May 25.
Bond Auto Parts Modified drivers will be gunning for Vince Quenneville, Jr., at the Central Vermont Motorcycles Trophy Dash on Sunday afternoon. The Brandon, VT veteran grabbed his second victory in as many races at last week’s Mother’s Day Special, but has been tested by Leon Gonyo, Jessey Mueller, and defending track champion Ron Proctor every step of the way. Gonyo, of Chazy, NY, was the Mother’s Day runner-up and Charlton, NY racer Proctor matched that mark at the season-opening 101.5 “The Fox” Spring Green on May 6; Mueller, 17, was third in both events.

Dragon takes first Late Model checkers
WEST HAVEN, VT – Vince Quenneville, Jr., made it a perfect two-for-two start to the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series stock car racing season at Devil’s Bowl Speedway on Sunday afternoon. The Brandon driver headlined a Mother’s Day Special card that included first wins of the year for Brent Dragon and Frank Monroe and a repeat by rookie Josh Masterson.
Quenneville, of Brandon, VT, was helped by a little bit of luck in winning his second 35-lap Bond Auto Parts Modified feature in as many starts. Quenneville ended up starting on the pole position by virtue of a random inversion draw determined by fans. He led every lap and was able to drive away from a lap 2 tangle with Ron Proctor that left several cars heavily damaged. Leon Gonyo of Chazy, NY finished in second place with Olmstedville, NY youngster Jessey Mueller third.
“I didn’t expect two wins to start,” Quenneville said in victory lane. “I was just hoping for top-five finishes and to not wreck anything. This is awesome.” CLICK HERE FOR MORE
