Spring Green opener May 6; Friday nights highlight summer; Vermont 200 returns<\/strong><\/p>\n

WEST HAVEN, VT — Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway has announced an action-packed 18-event championship stock car racing schedule for the 2012 season. The West Haven, VT track, a semi-banked asphalt half-mile sanctioned by the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, will host open-wheel Modified, full-fender Late Model, and entry-level Renegade and Bomber classes throughout the summer.<\/p>\n

After a pair of Sunday afternoon open practice sessions on April 22 and 29, Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway\u2019s 46th racing season opens with the historic Spring Green event on Sunday afternoon, May 6. The American-Canadian Tour Late Models will highlight the program, and the NASCAR Modified, Renegade and Bomber divisions will open their championship schedules at the event. Racing in all four weekly divisions will be held on Sunday afternoons for on May 13 and May 20 as well.
\n
\nMemorial Day weekend will usher in a new tradition as Devil\u2019s Bowl kicks off its summer schedule with the first of 13 Friday-night programs on May 26 at 7:30pm. Extra-distance races for the Modified and Late Model classes will be on tap. Weekly Friday night racing revs up and continues through the month of June including a special 50-lap event for the Renegade division on June 15.<\/p>\n

A special 5:00pm twilight event on Wednesday, July 4 will feature the \u201cFirecracker Twin 44s\u201d for Modifieds and Late Models and a spectacular Independence Day fireworks extravaganza. Racing families can relax and enjoy a night off on Friday, July 6, before weekly racing returns with double pressure and double championship points on Friday, July 13 at the Mid-Season Championship. Bomber drivers will face their toughest test with a special race on August 3.<\/p>\n

A built-in \u201copen date\u201d on Friday, August 10 will assist in the rescheduling of any weather-related postponements. Should the need to reschedule an event on that date not arise, teams will enjoy another week to regroup before the final three-week summer stretch. Titles will be decided in the NASCAR Modified and Late Model divisions on Friday, August 31.<\/p>\n

The 2012 season will draw to a close on the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, September 15-16, as Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway revives its classic \u201cVermont 200\u201d weekend. Special events for all four divisions will be on tap including the Renegade and Bomber championship finales and major races for the Modified and Late Model classes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited to get the 2012 season under way at Devil\u2019s Bowl,\u201d said new track co-owner Mike Bruno, who promotes the speedway with his wife, Alayne. \u201cOur racers and fans will have 18 chances to be a part of history next summer, and we\u2019re hopeful that our built-in weeks off will give everyone a chance to enjoy a break, recharge their batteries, and have a little more fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
