\u201cWild Bill\u201d Fountain Wins Devil\u2019s Bowl Vermonster 150 Enduro
\nFather-son team 2nd and 3rd; Grant takes second Spectator Race of 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

WEST HAVEN, VT \u2013 \u201cWild Bill\u201d Fountain survived a wild race and narrowly avoided catastrophe to win the \u201cVermonster 150\u201d Enduro stock car race at Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway on Saturday. The Altona, NY driver, a veteran of Late Model and Modified racing since 1977 who has recently taken up Enduro racing, led nearly every step of the 150-lap grind for the victory.<\/p>\n

Fountain\u2019s virtually stock 1999 Nissan Maxima was running nearly three laps ahead of the field when he quickly approached the lapped car of Kevin Sorel, who was running inside the top five with just 20 laps remaining. Fountain swerved to avoid Sorel\u2019s slowing car, but made heavy contact and badly damaged the right-rear corner of his machine. Fountain pressed on, limping his car at half-speed as second-place driver Brett \u201cWoody\u201d Wood of Georgia, VT clicked off the laps, and was able to hang on to take the win.
\n
\nWood, who lived up to the track\u2019s \u201cSplash and Crash\u201d billing after recent heavy rains flooded parts of the facility, survived a muddy off-track excursion with his 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse at mid-race to finish in second place, one lap behind Fountain.
\nWood\u2019s son, Zach \u201cBeaner\u201d Wood, used an entertaining \u201cdrifting\u201d method, sliding the back of his 1996 Subaru Impreza in nearly every corner, to finish third on his 17th birthday, nine laps behind the winner. Cory Gray of Rutland, VT finished fourth, unofficially, with 138 laps complete, and Richie Turner of Fairfax, VT finished fifth, one lap behind Gray.<\/p>\n

Gary Grant of Addison, VT took his second Spectator Race win of the season with his 2008 Ford Mustang. Grant defeated Leicester, VT\u2019s Dan New, who drove a 2001 Honda Civic; New defeated a Mustang driven by Jeff Breslen of Castleton, VT in the preliminary round.<\/p>\n

The Vermonster 150 Enduro drew the 2012 Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway racing season to a close. The track\u2019s top drivers from the weekly NASCAR Whelen All-American Series program will be honored at the Banquet of Champions on Saturday, February 2 at the Holiday Inn Rutland-Killington in Rutland, VT. Further details will be announced soon.<\/p>\n
