“The drivers and fans were disappointed not to be able to run the final ENDURO 200 of the season on SpeedWeekend, but everyone is excited about coming back this Sunday to get the race in” said Speedway 660’s Michelle Roy. “The Championship 200 is more intense than the ENDURO’s we held earlier in the season because the title is on the line and drivers will beat and bang a lot harder knowing they’ve got all winter to repair the damage.”

Restored racecars bring past to present at track’s season finale
WEST HAVEN, VT – Devil’s Bowl Speedway will look a bit like the days of old at its Vermont 200 Championship Weekend on September 14-15, as the New England Antique Racers (NEAR) club roars around the half-mile oval for the first time. A vibrant group of restored and revitalized racecars are expected for the two-day event for display both on and off the track.
Open-wheel Modified and Coupe racers from across the barnstorming northeastern racing days of the 1960s and ‘70s will run in practice and race events during the Vermont 200 Weekend. Many of the NEAR cars attending the event will be identical in construction to those that competed at Devil’s Bowl Speedway on both asphalt and dirt surfaces several decades ago.
