Twin 50s up next for Northern Modified Challenge Series at Devil\u2019s Bowl
\nTop three drivers only 10 points apart<\/strong><\/p>\n

WEST HAVEN, VT \u2013 The Northern Modified Challenge Series will be busy during the Vermont 200 Weekend at Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway on September 14-15. The first-year championship tour for open-wheel Modified stock cars is expected to draw its largest field yet as drivers race in twin 50-lap features.<\/p>\n

Only 10 championship points separate the top three title contenders entering the two-day event at the series\u2019 home track at Devil\u2019s Bowl. Eighteen year-old Jessey Mueller of Olmstedville, NY holds the lead through the first three races of the season, with a victory in the opener at Thunder Road Int\u2019l Speedbowl in May, a runner-up finish in the Carrara Masonry C.J. Richards Memorial at Devil\u2019s Bowl in August, and a sixth-place showing at Canaan Fair Speedway in August.
\n
\nVeteran Leon Gonyo of Chazy, NY is a tight four points behind Mueller and is the only driver to post a top-five finish in all three NMCS events. Vince Quenneville, Jr., of Brandon, VT moved into third place after a runner-up finish at Canaan. The standings remain tight through the pack as Hunter Bates, C.J. Richards Memorial winner Todd Stone, Joe Williams, and Ron Proctor are only eight points apart in positions 4-7, and all within 31 points of Mueller\u2019s lead. Even Canaan winner Kenny Tremont, Jr., who missed the previous Devil\u2019s Bowl event, is within 46 points of the top spot.<\/p>\n

First-round qualifying heats for the Northern Modified Challenge Series help open the Vermont 200 Weekend at Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 14 at 1:30pm. Second-round qualifying and twin 50-lap features are among headline events on Sunday, Sept. 15, with racing action beginning at 1:30pm.
