WEST HAVEN, Vt. – Devil’s Bowl Speedway has made multiple schedule changes for the autumn portion of the track’s racing season.

As fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has forced facilities in nearby states to stop hosting races, the Vermont facility is adapting with the ever-changing times to safely provide racers and fans with more suitable options.

Vermont’s pandemic health and safety guidelines remain firmly in place, helping the Green Mountain State to currently be in a better position than many surrounding areas.

With several speedways in New York State forced to interrupt or even end to their seasons prematurely – and as schools begin to reopen – Devil’s Bowl Speedway promoter Mike Bruno has worked to offer favorable date changes and event alternatives for teams and spectators, while also adhering to COVID-19 policies.

The event planned at Devil’s Bowl for Sunday, Aug. 23, will remain in place as scheduled, featuring the annual Charlie LaDuc Memorial 54-lap special for the headline Pepsi Sportsman Modified division.

The track’s weekly O’Reilly Auto Parts Limited Sportsman, Super Stock, Mini Stock, and Friend Construction 500cc Mini Sprint divisions will also be on the card.

Following that event, with the school year on the horizon, Bruno has implemented a switch to Saturday-night racing beginning Aug. 29.

The “Prelude to the 200” event on Saturday, Aug. 29, will be packed with action, including a 50-lap Enduro Series race and the Sportsman Modified Win and You’re In event for a guaranteed Vermont 200 starting position.

The Sportsman Modified B-Feature for non-qualifiers will pay a special $250 bonus to the winner.

The Limited Sportsman, Mini Stock, and 500cc Mini Sprint classes will also be on the program on Aug. 29, with the Limiteds running 25 laps for $400 to win.

The final Pro Stock/Super Stock combination event has been rescheduled to the Vermont 200 to allow and encourage teams from those divisions to support a special event at Airborne Speedway in Plattsburgh, N.Y., on Aug. 29.

The Interstate All Battery Center Vermont 200 will remain as originally scheduled for Labor Day weekend on Sept. 5-6, with racing at 5 p.m. on both nights.

Saturday’s program features the fourth annual Ron Casey Memorial Non-Winners Race for Sportsman Modified drivers, as well as a 40-lap Win and You’re In event for the Limited Sportsman class.

Qualifying and feature races are also on tap for the Pro Stock/Super Stock and Mini Stock divisions, and the Pro Stock champion will be crowned. The 500cc Mini Sprint division will also qualify and race the first half of a special two-day, two-segment weekend event.

The Sunday portion of the Vermont 200 weekend features the biggest Crate Sportsman Modified race in the country for the third consecutive year, with qualifying and a 200-lap main event paying $7,500 to win, $300 to start, and more than $5,000 in lap leader bonus money.

The winged Sprint Cars of New England tour will also be in action on Sunday, along with the second half of the 500cc Mini Sprint race.

Saturday night racing returns on Sept. 12 with a full championship point-counting event for the Sportsman, Limited, Super Stock, Mini Stock, and Mini Sprint classes.

The Big Block and Small Block Modifieds will return on Sept. 19, with the Slate Valley 100 paying $10,000 to the winner.

Fresh off the successful Battle at the Bowl event on Aug. 9, and with tracks like Lebanon Valley and Fonda shuttering their regular seasons, Devil’s Bowl is seizing the opportunity for a second high-profile race.

The Slate Valley 100 will have a more traditional format of time trials, heats, and a 100-lap main event. The Sportsman, Limited, and Mini Sprint divisions will also be on the program.

The 2020 Devil’s Bowl track champions will be decided on Sept. 26, with a full card of racing for all five regular weekly divisions, including the Super Stocks.

Devil’s Bowl Speedway’s 54th stock car racing season will wrap up with the special Foliage Fun Run non-points event on Sunday, Oct. 4.

The Foliage Fun Run will feature the long-awaited return of the Open Competition format, as well as a 100-lap Enduro race and Mechanics Races in all regular divisions.

The Modified class will be an anything-goes, “run what you brung” affair, with any engine, suspension, body, or tire combination permitted; the only two rules are that the car must use a standard modified-type chassis and weigh a minimum of 2,400 pounds.

Rules for the Stock Car, Mini Stock, and Mini Sprint divisions will be announced prior to the event.

Each Saturday event has a built-in rain date of Sunday, and the Vermont 200 weekend has a rain date of Labor Day Monday.

All events are subject to change according to weather or COVID-19 regulations.

A limited number of grandstand and infield drive-in tickets will be available for spectators for each event. Tickets will sold online in advance at https://buytickets.at/devilsbowlspeedway, or at the speedway on race night until the maximum pandemic-restricted capacity is reached.
