As both a nod to the past and a look toward the future, the facility will host races on both surfaces on a full-time basis this year for the first time.

Thomas Dairy to Present Devil’s Bowl Speedway Kids Club Again in 2016
Rutland, Vt., dairy renews agreement for second season
WEST HAVEN, Vt. – Devil’s Bowl Speedway, home of “Vermont’s Fastest Family Fun,” will welcome Thomas Dairy back as the presenting sponsor of its Kids Club for the track’s 50th season of stock car racing in 2016.
The Kids Club expanded dramatically in 2015 with the support of Thomas Dairy and included kids of all ages in fun, free activities that got them into the action. Thomas Dairy Kids Club events included racecar rides, bicycle races, a guided tour or the pit area, a poster contest, penny and candy scrambles, and a “Christmas in July” event that raised toy donations for local charity. The ever-popular Interstate Batteries “Fun Bus” race track tour was also a regular part of the Kids Club.
“Our family has always loved Thomas Dairy milk, and their support is what allowed us to grow the Kids Club program at Devil’s Bowl last season,” Devil’s Bowl owner Alayne Bruno said. “There are tons of kids at the track, including our own kids Austin and Johnny and their friends, and it’s great to give them something extra. We’ll be bringing back many of the activities from last year and bringing in some new events for our 50th season.”
