Waterbury, VT – Senator Phil Scott from Middlesex is a three-time Thunder Road Champion. Scott is running for the Vermont Lt. Governor’s office in the coming election, his first state-wide political effort. When the American Canadian Tour (ACT) announced that the Late Model division from Thunder Road would be opening the new Devil’s Bowl Speedway in West Haven, VT, Scott was the first to applaud the decision.
An avid outdoorsman and one of the most successful stock car racers in Vermont history, Scott will try and win the first-ever ACT 100 lap feature event at the newly paved ½ mile oval that will serve fans from west of the Green Mountains, particularly Rutland County. “I certainly was happy when I learned that we were opening the Thunder Road season at the new Devil’s Bowl. I remember the history of the old days when the five track series included the ‘Rutland’ track. My focus Sunday is to try and win the race, but I suppose shaking a few hands and getting to know some folks in the Rutland/Addison county area would be a great opportunity.”
