WEST HAVEN, Vt. — The future of dirt track racing is bright at Devil’s Bowl Speedway. A key ingredient to the recipe has been the rise of the Limited Sportsman division at Devil’s Bowl. The racing machines are the same open-wheel cars, engines and tires as the headline sportsman modifieds, but with restrictions on drivers based on experience. Weekly races pay $250 to win, $125 for a fifth-place finish, and $75 to finish last; the limited winner’s purse is equivalent to a seventh-place finish in the Sportsman class. “The limited sportsman division is about learning how to race modifieds without feeling a ton of pressure running with the veterans,” Promoter Mike Bruno said. In the meantime, the chase for the limited sportsman championship is wide-open.
