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.

Other Modified racers have stood out as well, including top rookie Joey Roberts of Georgia, VT. Roberts has posted top-five finishes in each of the first two starts of his open-wheel career. Alex Bell, Don Scarborough, Hunter Bates, and rookie Andy Smith have all been inside the top ten in both events.

Brent Dragon of Milton, VT snapped a three-year dry spell by winning the season’s first J&S Steel Late Model feature on Mother’s Day. Craig Bushey and Matt White, first-year Devil’s Bowl racers who are expected to be championship contenders, finished on the podium, and Rutland, VT’s Kevin Elliott finished a solid fourth after leading laps. Strong performances were also turned in by Dan Petronis of Mechanicville, NY, veterans Dennis Demers and Norm Andrews, and rookies Robert Bryant, Jr., and Danny Sullivan.

Frank Monroe of Granville, NY and Robert Gordon of Milton, VT will look to keep the close action going in the Renegade division. Monroe nipped Gordon by eight-thousandths of a second to win last Sunday. They’ll be tested by Jeremy Jones, Bill Duprey, Ryan Keith, and Randy Miller.

Like Quenneville in the Modifieds, Josh Masterson will try to keep his perfect streak going in the Bomber division on Sunday. The Bristol, VT rookie has won the first two races of his career after challenges from Garry Bashaw, Ray Germain, Jr., and the always-exciting Harold LaVair.

General admission for the Central Vermont Motorcycles Trophy Dash on Sunday, May 20 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.
