\n<\/strong>King of Dirt Racing Series shows to count toward mini-series track championship<\/em><\/p>\n

WEST HAVEN, Vt. \u2013 The ground-pounding Small Block \u201c358\u201d Modifieds are coming back to Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway.\u00a0\u00a0The Vermont facility returns to full-time dirt track stock car racing on a lightning-fast half-mile surface in 2018, and the new era of racing includes a four-event mini-series championship for the famed 358 Modifieds.<\/p>\n

Two of the four race dates will be co-sanctioned by the King of Dirt Racing Series (KOD), while the other two dates will be independently run by Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway management.<\/p>\n

A-Verdi Storage Containers returns to present the KOD Small Blocks with a special mid-week show on\u00a0Wednesday, June 6<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0Serving Vermont and Upstate New York, A-Verdi is family-owned-and-operated and has been a major motorsports supporter throughout its 37 years, including Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway.<\/p>\n

Devil\u2019s Bowl and A-Verdi hosted the first race in the history of the KOD Small Block 358 Modified tour last year.\u00a0\u00a0Former Devil\u2019s Bowl standouts Marc Johnson and Jessey Mueller finished 1-2 in the race \u2013 which was held on the former infield short track \u2013 and later finished 1-2 in KOD Small Block championship standings.\u00a0\u00a0Allison Ricci finished third in the event, and she is expected to return with Johnson and Mueller on the new half-mile.<\/p>\n

The second 358 Modified event will be an independent show on\u00a0Sunday, July 15<\/span>, with a \u201cTwin 20\u201d format.\u00a0\u00a0A pair of 20-lap sprint races will each carry full championship points and a \u201csplit purse\u201d in which each race pays $750 to win and $100 to start, guaranteeing each driver a minimum of $200 for 40 laps\u2019 worth of work.<\/p>\n

Drivers who have indicated an interest include former champions Vince Quenneville Jr., Kenny Tremont Jr., and Ray Hoard, young guns Demetrios Drellos, Neil Stratton, Frank Hoard III, Jim Introne Jr., and Nathan Johnson, and veterans Don Mattison, Brian Whittemore, and brothers Todd and C.G. Morey.<\/p>\n

The King of Dirt Series returns on\u00a0Sunday, July 29<\/span>, with the seventh annual \u201cC.J. Richards Memorial\u201d event, which will be 67 laps in honor of Devil\u2019s Bowl founder Richards opening the facility in 1967.\u00a0\u00a0The mini-series championship wraps up on Labor Day weekend on Sunday, September 2, with a 30-lap race paying $1,250 to win.<\/p>\n
