\"devils<\/a>Vermont 200 Weekend Offering Big Purses at Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway
\nExtra payout, extra laps in all divisions at asphalt championship finale<\/strong><\/p>\n

WEST HAVEN, VT \u2013 Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway is putting up big money for its annual Mekkelsen RV Vermont 200 Championship Weekend on September 12-13. The season finale for the Rutland County asphalt half-mile oval will boast extra-distance races for fans and extra cash for drivers as it crowns the champions of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series presented by Yandow Sales & Service and John Deere.<\/p>\n

More than $29,000 in total prize money \u2013 nearly triple the regular weekly purse \u2013 has been posted for the two-day show. Devil\u2019s Bowl\u2019s home track favorites in four divisions will square off against each other as they run after the track championships, and they will likely face a handful of outside invaders as well.
\n<\/p>\n

Saturday, September 12 features first-round qualifying for the Bond Auto Parts Modified, Brileya\u2019s Chrysler-Jeep Renegade, and Portland Glass Mini Stock divisions, and special \u201cNon-Winners Shootout\u201d races for all divisions including the Central Vermont Motorcycles Late Models. The day is capped off by the annual Vermont 200 bonfire and barbeque party \u2013 free for all who purchase a race ticket or pit pass.<\/p>\n

Late Models take center stage on Sunday, September 13, with qualifying and a 100-lap main event. The posted purse includes a $2,000 winner\u2019s share if 20 or more cars enter the race, or $1,200 with 19 entries or fewer. All drivers will be guaranteed a minimum of $300 to start the race regardless of car count. The Modifieds will also see extra cash in a pair of special 50-lap main events. Each race pays $1,200 to the winner and a minimum guarantee of $125 to start, meaning that even two poor finishes will net a driver at least $250.<\/p>\n

A special 50-lap finale for the Renegade division will pay $500 to the winner with 15 or more entries \u2013 $400 if 14 or fewer cars \u2013 and a minimum guarantee of $100 to start. The entry-level Mini Stocks will run a two-segment race totaling 30 laps, paying $200 to the winner and $50 to start. The MFT Sauce & Rub Co. Enduro Series is also on the Sunday card, with a 50-lap, $500-to-win race with 20 or more starters.<\/p>\n

Two-day general admission for the Mekkelsen RV Vermont 200 Championship Weekend is $25. The single Saturday-only ticket is $10, and the single Sunday-only ticket is $20.
