\"devils<\/a>Flyin\u2019 Jimmy Ryan Returning to Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway
\nWhiting veteran back home on both asphalt and dirt<\/strong><\/p>\n

WEST HAVEN, VT \u2013 Jimmy Ryan is coming home to Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway. One of Vermont\u2019s most popular open-wheel Modified stock car drivers for many years, \u201cFlyin\u2019 Ryan\u201d plans to end his hiatus from driving in 2015. He has recently taken delivery of a Teo Pro Car chassis, a brand new Chevrolet \u201c602\u201d crate engine, and has reclaimed his familiar car number 60 with the registration office.<\/p>\n

Ryan plans to compete on both asphalt and clay, running in the Bond Auto Parts Modified division of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series (NWAAS) on the pavement, and in the Liberty Street Discount Beverage & Deli Sportsman Modified class in the five-race Optical Expressions of Berlin Dirt Track Series.

The Whiting, VT veteran\u2019s most recent season of driving was five years ago. Ryan is highly regarded as a dirt track specialist \u2013 he was a frequent winner on the former half-mile clay track at Devil\u2019s Bowl and was a two-time champion at Bear Ridge Speedway \u2013 but he won twice during the first year of the new pavement era at Devil\u2019s Bowl in 2010 and picked up another asphalt victory at Albany-Saratoga Speedway that season.<\/p>\n

Ryan says that his desire to race never went away, but a busy work schedule kept him out of the car. Though he is hesitant to officially throw his hat in the ring as a full-season championship chaser, he concedes that he will likely be having too much fun to skip any races.
\n\u201cI\u2019ll be at the opener on the asphalt on May 9th for the 100-lapper. After that, we\u2019ll see where it goes,\u201d Ryan said with a laugh. \u201cI\u2019ve been telling everyone that I\u2019m not planning on running every race, but no one seems to believe that. They\u2019re probably right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sponsorship for the #60 car will be provided by long-time supporters Foster Motors, Toon\u2019s Home Improvement, and Clayton Ryan Trucking. Ryan\u2019s main focus will be on the weekly asphalt events at Devil\u2019s Bowl, but he also has the dates of the five-race schedule for The Dirt Track at Devil\u2019s Bowl circled on his calendar. He also hopes to make occasional appearances at Airborne Park Speedway in Plattsburgh, NY.
\nDevil\u2019s Bowl Speedway\u2019s 49th season of stock car racing opens with the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series on Saturday, May 9 at 6:00 p.m. The Bond Auto Parts Modifieds will run 100 laps under the lights, and will be joined by a 50-lap race for the Central Vermont Motorcycles Late Models and championship openers for the Brileya\u2019s Chrysler-Jeep Renegade and Portland Glass Mini Stock divisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
