It’s The Professor In Devil’s Bowl Sprint

WEST HAVEN, Vt. — “Professor” Chris Donnelly earned his first Devil’s Bowl Speedway win in five years after a wild final two laps Sunday night.

Donnelly, a six-time Sprint Cars of New England (SCoNE) tour champion, dominated the race but was caught late in lapped traffic by Cory Sparks and Clay Dow.

Sparks threw a slide job on Donnelly to take the lead briefly on lap 24, but Donnelly crossed him back over to retake the lead. Dow entered the picture in the final lap, passing Sparks for the runner-up finish.

Sparks, Jeff Trombley and Will Hull rounded out the top five.

Demetrios Drellos topped the 50-lap sportsman-modified feature after starting 18th on the grid. Tim LeDuc finished second.

Beau Reeves won the limited sportsman main event and Chris Murray topped the street stock feature.

Chris Sumner and Greg Zindler Jr. claimed mini stock features and Ray Hanson bested the mini sprint field.

Eric Leno won the enduro.
