The announcement was made during a conference for NASCAR Home Tracks promoters at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, FL on Saturday, February 16.<\/p>\n<p>Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway was one of five NASCAR Home Tracks selected for the NASCAR Green Clean Air Project, joining Ohio\u2019s Lake County Speedway, Kalamazoo (MI) Speedway, Pennsylvania\u2019s Lake Erie Speedway, and Myrtle Beach (SC) Speedway. The NASCAR Green Clean Air Project debuted in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2009 and expanded to include the NASCAR Home Tracks program in 2011.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>According to track co-owner Alayne Bruno, the goal for Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway is to help replenish some of the trees lost during Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011. Bruno and her husband Mike, who live in Castleton, VT, said that the NASCAR Green grant was one of the first programs Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway applied for when they took control of the speedway in November 2011, just over two months after Tropical Storm Irene took its toll.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVermont is the Green Mountain State and we\u2019ve always been proud of to live and work here,\u201d Alayne Bruno said. \u201cEvery day we see reminders of what was lost in Irene, and if we can help bring some of that \u2018green\u2019 back to Vermont, even if it\u2019s just a small amount, hopefully that can help lift the spirits of those who are still recovering almost two years after the storm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NASCAR Green and Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway\u2019s donation continues a commitment to helping Vermonters affected by Tropical Storm Irene; Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway hosted the \u201cI Am Vermont Strong 100\u201d race and a fundraiser for the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund in June 2012. Details of the NASCAR Green Clean Air Project grant, including locations and quantities of trees to be planted, will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vermont track hopes to repair Irene damage with trees from \u201cClean Air Project\u201d DAYTONA BEACH, FL \u2013 Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway is going green again.
