West Haven, VT – Stone Motors Night was wildly entertaining for all at Devil’s Bowl Speedway that produced first time Sunoco Sportsman Modified winner this season, Mike Palmer. Wade Acker also made his first visit to victory lane in Limited Sportsman action, while Kamden Duffy, Logan Denis, and Chris Conroy all returned to their winning ways.
