WEST HAVEN, VT – Stock car racing fans will have a new group of stars to cheer for at Vermont’s Devil’s Bowl Speedway, as the “SK Light Modified” division makes its way to the racy half-mile.

Preliminary talks with competitors have been positive, and a schedule of nine events has been planned. An exhibition event was staged at Devil’s Bowl in August 2013, and racers and fans alike were impressed.
