Hoar took down last year’s Spring Green race, the first-ever ACT event at Devil’s Bowl, before later collecting his record eighth ACT championship. He says winning the inaugural Devil’s Bowl ACT race was a special accomplishment for his No. 37 Goss Dodge-Chrysler/RPM Racing Engines team.
“It was really cool winning at Devil’s Bowl last year. I never raced there when it was a dirt track but we got the chance last year and it was a lot of fun,” Hoar said. “I love that there’s another asphalt track in Vermont. The fact that it’s only an hour away from home makes it even more special.”
