The event will be the first-ever for the series in Vermont.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThe Granite State Pro Stock Series utilizes cars that are similar in appearance to the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Model division that races weekly at Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway.  The Pro Stock cars, however, are equipped with larger engines, wider tires, and different suspension components that quicken lap times by more than a half-second over the both the Late Model division and the track\u2019s Bond Auto Parts Modified division, for an average speed of over 110 miles per hour on the half-mile oval.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers expected to compete in the Carmody Ford Slate Valley 100 represent a wide sample of northeastern racing, with entries likely to come from all six New England states and New York.  Among those who have expressed interest in the event are Vermonters Chris Wilk of Rutland, Dave Pembroke of Middlesex, and Josh King of Vernon, former Oxford 250 winner Larry Gelinas of Scarborough, ME, Massachusetts veterans Mike O\u2019Sullivan and Barry Gray, and part-time NASCAR Nationwide Series competitor Matt Frahm of New Salem, NH, the most recent GSPSS winner at Monadnock Speedway.<\/p>\n<p>Pembroke and Granite State Pro Stock Series founder Mike Parks of Walpole, NH each took part in a test session at Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway last month.  Pembroke won the first Late Model event ever contested at Devil\u2019s Bowl when the track was converted from dirt to asphalt in 2010, and clinched the Vermont State Late Model Championship at the track last September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a lot different here with one of these Pro Stock cars.  It\u2019s a lot faster,\u201d Pembroke said with a grin after the May test session.  \u201cKnowing how well the Late Models race here, I think that the Pro Stocks are really going to be a lot of fun to watch.  They\u2019re definitely fun to drive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joining the Granite State Pro Stock Series at the Carmody Ford Slate Valley 100 event will be the Bond Auto Parts Modifieds and Central Vermont Motorcycles Mini Stocks of the weekly NASCAR Whelen All-American Series.  General admission is $15 for adults, $13 for seniors, and free for children 12 and under.  Racing begins at 7:00pm on Friday, June 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Granite State Pro Stocks Coming to Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway Inaugural Carmody Ford \u201cSlate Valley 100\u201d set for June 14 WEST HAVEN, VT \u2013 Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway will roar with the sounds of high-horsepower Pro Stock racecars for the first time on Friday, June 14, as the Granite State Pro Stock Series debuts in the inaugural [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"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":[201,4721,200],"tags":[15201],"class_list":["post-13077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-devils-bowl","category-granite-state-pro-stock","category-vermont","tag-granite-state-pro-stocks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13077","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\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13077\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
