The event was to be held on Sunday, May 7, with the American-Canadian Tour (ACT) and the weekly NASCAR Whelen All-American Series on the card.  A practice session and inspection day scheduled for Saturday, May 6, has been cancelled.<br \/>\nThe Spring Green has been rescheduled to Saturday, May 20, with a post time of 6:00 p.m., on the 1\/2-mile Asphalt Track at Devil\u2019s Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Consistent rains in recent days and weeks have left the speedway property drenched, with surrounding ditches and drainage full and unable to divert any more water.  Rain showers during the day on Friday \u2013 with more predicted during the weekend \u2013 forced the postponement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want fans and race teams to travel three or more hours and have a bad experience,\u201d Devil\u2019s Bowl promoter Mike Bruno said.  \u201cEven if there is no rain on Sunday, our hands are tied with the wet grounds.  It\u2019s like a big sponge already, and the mud would make things miserable for everyone.  We appreciate Tom Curley and ACT working with us to reschedule the Spring Green to Saturday, May 20.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rescheduled Spring Green on Saturday, May 20, will feature a 117-lap main event for the ACT Late Models, along with the season opening races for Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway\u2019s NASCAR O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts Sportsman Modified, Rosen &#038; Berger Super Stock, and Portland Glass Mini Stock divisions.  The green flag waves at 6:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway now turns its attention to the new season opener on Saturday, May 13, and the first-ever \u201cRutland County Rumble\u201d sponsored by Down And Dirty.  Four classes of Truck &#038; Tractor Pulls begin at 12:00 noon, followed by a Demolition Derby for 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder cars at approximately 6:00 p.m.  General admission for the Rutland County Rumble is just $12.00 for adults, $5.00 for teens age 13-17, and free for kids age 12 and under; pit passes are also just $12.00 per person, age 10 and up.<\/p>\n<p>Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway is located on Route 22A in West Haven, Vt., four miles north of U.S. Route 4, Exit 2.
