The race will now be run on Sunday, September 25 at 5:00 p.m., one day later than originally scheduled, on the 3\/10-mile Dirt Track at Devil\u2019s Bowl in West Haven, Vt.<\/p>\n<p>The Green Mountain Sprint Car Nationals, co-sanctioned by SCoNE and ESS, is Vermont\u2019s biggest and richest open-wheel 360 Sprint Car event, with drivers from seven U.S. states and two Canadian provinces entered last year. SCoNE champion Dan Douville won the inaugural race and collected a handsome purse of $4,050 and the coveted \u201cCoastal Cup\u201d trophy from Coastal 181 Publishing.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The date change alleviates scheduling conflicts with several race tracks and common racing classes in the area, as Bear Ridge Speedway in Bradford, Vt., Fonda (N.Y.) Speedway, and New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H., all host major events on Saturday, September 24.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re glad that everything came together better this year to make the Nationals happen on Sunday. We had hoped for Sunday last year, but it just didn\u2019t work out that way,\u201d Devil\u2019s Bowl promoter Mike Bruno said. \u201cWe wanted to give fans and racers the ability to be part of more of the bigger late-season shows this year. Bear Ridge has a \u2018King of Dirt\u2019 Series Modified race on Saturday night this year, a lot of fans enjoy the Tripleheader at Loudon that day, and Fonda is hosting a big event as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pushing the Fabian Earthmoving Green Mountain Sprint Car Nationals to Sunday allows all of Devil\u2019s Bowl\u2019s weekly NASCAR Whelen All-American Series divisions to compete in point-counting races, as the Central Vermont Motorcycles Sportsman Modifieds, Renegades, and Portland Glass Mini Stocks will join the program. The move also creates a three-day big-money weekend for Sprint Car teams; in addition to the Devil\u2019s Bowl race, Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, N.Y., hosts an ESS event on Friday night and Fonda Speedway has the Kramer Williamson Memorial on Saturday. A weekend Sprint Car sweep would net the winner over $11,000 in total purse money.<\/p>\n<p>Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway\u2019s 50th season of racing opens on May 21-22 and includes a full schedule of NASCAR Whelen All-American Series racing for both its half-mile asphalt and 3\/10-mile dirt tracks, totaling 27 events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Mountain Sprint Car Nationals Date Adjusted at Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway Sunday, Sept. 25 event reduces scheduling conflicts with surrounding speedways WEST HAVEN, Vt. \u2013 Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway officials have reached an agreement with the Sprint Cars of New England (SCoNE) and the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints (ESS) to adjust the date of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[201,1,200],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-devils-bowl","category-uncategorized","category-vermont"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20404\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newenglandracingnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
