WEST HAVEN, V.T.– New England’s fastest dirt track is back for another year of jam-packed racing action this May. The 2024 season will be the historic half-mile’s 58th, the 13th under the supervision of Mike & Alayne Bruno and this season’s schedule is a blend of returning classics, new ideas and new renditions of the Bruno era events fans have come to love.
It all kicks off on May 4th, with a 32 lap, $3,200-to-win Sunoco Sportsman Modified feature in memory of Matt Bilodeau. The first month of the season also includes the popular kids’ poster contest, the first appearance by the Sprint Cars of New England, the much-anticipated return of Devil’s Bowl 358 modified racing, and the fourth Devil’s Bowl edition of the Northeast Crate Nationals 100 paying $5,000 to win on Memorial Day Weekend.
