Quenneville, of Brandon, VT, can cut as much as 14 points off his 23-point deficit before the main event begins if he finishes near the front in his qualifying heat and the semi-feature, but only if Charlton, NY racer Proctor finishes fourth or worse in his heat race.  In that scenario, Quenneville would only need to beat Proctor by five positions in the main event.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n\u00b7         Qualifying heats pay five points to win, four for second place, three for third, two for fourth, and one for all other finishers.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7         The semi-feature \u2013 open only for the top-three finishers from the two heats \u2013 pays 10 points to win, nine for second, eight for third, seven for fourth, six for fifth, and five for sixth.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7         The 50-lap Brown\u2019s Quarried Slate\/Brown\u2019s Orchard &#038; Farm Stand feature pays 50 points to win, 48 for second, 46 for third, and two less points for each subsequent position.<\/p>\n<p>While he\u2019s not immune to disaster, the chances of Proctor faltering are not good; the veteran is trying for his second-straight title and has had a remarkable record of 17 consecutive finishes of seventh place or better including three victories.  Brandon, VT racer Quenneville has won five races including last Friday\u2019s event, but a blown engine two weeks ago leaves him playing catch-up.<br \/>\nThe rest of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series divisions will officially crown their champions on Friday as well; Craig Bushey of Fairfax, VT mathematically clinched the J&#038;S Steel Late Model championship last week and will try to cap it off with a win in the division\u2019s 40-lap finale, but Robert Gordon of Milton, VT and Pittsford, VT\u2019s Ryan Keith \u2013 only 13 points apart \u2013 will slug it out in the Renegades.  Like Bushey, rookie Josh Masterson of Bristol, VT clinched the Bomber title a week early.<\/p>\n<p>Special general admission for Championship Night is $12 for adults, $9 for seniors (62+), and free for children 12 and under.  Gates open at 5:00pm with racing beginning at an early 7:00pm post time.  Fans may save $2.00 on admission by redeeming a ticket stub from the 2012 Vermont State Fair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proctor-Quenneville Championship Fight Settled Friday at Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway Veterans separated by 23 points; semi-feature adds extra chance for bonus points WEST HAVEN, VT \u2013 Two veteran Modified stock car racers will settle an exciting season-long championship fight on Friday at Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway, as Ron Proctor and Vince Quenneville, Jr., vie for NASCAR Whelen [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[201,200],"tags":[14980],"class_list":["post-10708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-devils-bowl","category-vermont","tag-devils-bowl-speedway"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10708"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10708\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
