Speedway awarded NASCAR grant

Devil's Bowl Speedway has been awarded a NASCAR grant for capital improvements and facility upgrades worth $10,000.  The NASCAR funds are part of a total $100,000 grant divided among ten weekly local speedways in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series program.

The asphalt half-mile Devil's Bowl track will see installation of a new concrete retaining wall and paving of the pit garage area access roads.

"We were surprised and very honored to be selected to receive the capital improvement funding," said Devil's Bowl Speedway media and marketing director Justin St. Louis. "The fact that NASCAR has shown us this much support so early in our new program is encouraging.  We'll be putting the grant money to good use in the beginning of our long-term renovations."

Devil's Bowl Speedway opens its 46th season of stock car racing on Sunday, May 6, with the Spring Green 112 for the American-Canadian Tour Late Models, along with the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Modifieds, Renegades, and Bombers.
