WEST HAVEN, VT \u2013 Jessey Mueller is ready to be a champion. The 19-year-old Modified stock car driver will enter the Spring Green season opener at Vermont\u2019s Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway on Sunday, May 4 with just one goal: Winning.
\nMueller was rather matter-of-fact about his plans: \u201cWe\u2019re going to try to win every race \u2013 that\u2019s the only reason we show up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
After winning nine races last summer, including four in the Bond Auto Parts Modified division at Devil\u2019s Bowl, Mueller and his family team have been working in the off-season to improve their program at their Olmstedville, NY home base.
\n
\nOn the competition side, Mueller has studied under NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour crew chief Phil Moran and was part of the team that won the \u201cUNOH Battle at the Beach\u201d event at Daytona International Speedway in February. On the sponsorship end, Mueller\u2019s No. 19 cars will carry new backing from MacMillen Construction, Precision Auto, and Liquor & Wine Warehouse to join longtime sponsors Mueller & Sons Heavy Duty Towing and Freihofer\u2019s distributors Eric and Sherry Laundry.<\/p>\n
Often donning a 10-gallon hat with the nickname \u201cThe Warren County Cowboy,\u201d Mueller is hopeful that his goal of winning races may also pay off with championships at Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway and Airborne Park Speedway in Plattsburgh, NY, along with NASCAR Whelen All-American Series honors.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pretty excited to go after the championships,\u201d Mueller said. I\u2019ve learned a lot about how to make the cars work, and I feel pretty fortunate to have some new sponsors this year. For me, winning at the short tracks is what I want to be doing, and it feels like the season can\u2019t start soon enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mueller is part of a strong contingent of drivers gunning for the Devil\u2019s Bowl title. Veterans Ron Proctor, Leon Gonyo, and Vince Quenneville, Jr., are expected to challenge defending champion Todd Stone, along with emerging stars Dave Snow and Cody Sargen.<\/p>\n
The season opens on Sunday, May 4 at 1:30pm with the historic Spring Green event for the American-Canadian Tour Late Models and the Bond Auto Parts Modified, Renegade and Central Vermont Motorcycles Mini Stock divisions of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series.<\/p>\n
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":"
