The fast half-mile Rutland County track will host the People\u2019s United Bank 100 at 7:00pm, with more than 30 race teams expected to clash in a high-horsepower turf war.  In case of inclement weather, the rain date is Sunday, June 30 at 2:00pm.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThe first 100-lap round of the fight was held at Thunder Road International Speedbowl on Memorial Day, with rookie driver Derrick O\u2019Donnell winning for the home crowd.  O\u2019Donnell and the rest of the Thunder Road invaders won\u2019t have it easy at the People\u2019s United Bank 100, though: On year ago, Devil\u2019s Bowl champion Craig Bushey used his knowledge of the track to fend off the outsiders and win the race.<\/p>\n<p>Bushey returns to Devil\u2019s Bowl on Friday to represent the home team, and he\u2019ll be joined by top drivers Chris Bergeron, Kevin Elliott, Hunter Bates, Robert Bryant, Jr., Dan Petronis, outstanding rookies Josh Masterson and Brandon Atkins, and many more.  The event carries double the pressure for the local squad, as it will also award championship points for Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway\u2019s weekly NASCAR Whelen All-American Series.  Bergeron has a 13-point lead over Elliott and Chris Curtis, who are tied for second.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Donnell leads the Vermont State Late Model Championship Series by seven points over two-time Thunder Road champion Nick Sweet, with Trampas Demers third.  Glen Luce of Maine sits fourth overall, with Chip Grenier fifth.  Grenier and Brent Dragon are expected to be among the strongest of the invaders; the two finished inches apart in the Vermont State Championship finale at Devil\u2019s Bowl on Vermont 200 Weekend last September with Dragon taking the win.<\/p>\n<p>The Bond Auto Parts Modified and Central Vermont Motorcycles Mini Stock divisions will also be in action at the People\u2019s United Bank 100 on Friday, June 28 at 7:00pm.  General admission is $15 for adults, $13 for seniors, and free for children 12 and under.  If rain is a factor, the event will be made up on Sunday, June 30 at 2:00pm.<\/p>\n<p>Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway is located on Route 22A in West Haven, VT, four miles north of Exit 2 on U.S. Route 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vt.
