Devil's Bowl Speedway
History
The track was opened in 1967 and promoted by Charles "C.J." Richards. Richards was well known for his close affiliation with other tracks, Fairmont Raceway, Albany-Saratoga Speedway, and Airborne Park Speedway. Richards sanctioned racing though his Champlain Valley Racing Association (CVRA). The track opened with a clay surface before being paved in 1971. Clay returned in 1975, was repaved in 2010, and was converted back to a clay dirt track in 2018.
Recent
Mike and Alayne Bruno purchased Devil's Bowl Speedway from Richards in November 2011. The track continued to host the normal races and the series that come to the venue. The track was previously the only NASCAR sanctioned track in the state, with Modified and Late Model races in the Whelen All-American Series.
In 2014, a 3/10-mile dirt track was constructed in the infield of the asphalt half mile race track.
In 2018 the asphalt track was covered with clay and now operates as 1/2 mile dirt track running on Saturday nights in the Summer.
