Chris Murray (76) and Brandon Piastka (7) side by side through the corner as they battle for the win in the Midgets win in the 20-lap event on day one of the Fabian Earth Movers Vermont 200 weekend. It would be the opening day of the 2025 edition of the Fabian Earth, and there would be eight divisions on tap, with the main event being the O'Relly Auto Parts Limited Sportsman Modified 40 lapper, with the winner getting a spot in the Vermont 200 tomorrow. The other divisions that would be in action would be the Midgets, Friend Construction Mini Sprints, Fisher Auto Parts Mini Stocks, Hoosier Tires Novice Sportsman Modified, Dirtcar 358 Modifieds, Sunoco Sportsman Modified, and the 9th State Canabias Crown. After all the heat races were run, the first feature of the night would be the Friend Construction Mini Sprints, with their first of three segments, a 15-lap event. It would see Tyler Whittemore jump out to the lead at the start. Still, Quinn Quenneville would come charging from his 5th starting spot and battle for the lead, eventually getting by Tyler Whittemore for the lead and ultimately winning the event. Then we would have the Midgets that would make their lone appearance of the 2025 season at the Devil's Bowl Speedway, and they would battle it out for 20 laps. It would see Brandon Piastka take the lead, and then the chase would be on from Chris Murray, who would eventually pass him for the lead. Piastka would then retreat to the field, allowing Murray to take the win on the afternoon. Then it would be the Dirtcar 358 Modifieds in there 30 lap event that would see 19 of them take the green flag and would see Payton Talbot get the wire to wire viictory as it would not be without competition from Justin Ston that he go side by side with for many laps and see Tim Fuller come up from his 10th place starting spot and try and chase down Talbot for the win. Still, he would come up short and finish second as he would have too many lap cars in the way, and Justin Stone would finish out the top three. Then it would be a Shootout for the Sunoco Sportsman Modified for the Non-Winners, with 11 of them taking the green for the 25-lap event. It would see Justin Comes get the lead at the start of the race. Still, there would be a late race caution that would bunch the field back up, and Brent Warren would get the best of Comes on the restart and take the lead and ride it to the victory. Then it would be the main event of the afternoon with 22 of the Hoosier Tires Limited Sportsman taking to the green flag in the 40-lap event, with the spot in the Vermont 200 on the line. It would see Katrina Leclaire jump out to the lead at the start of the race, and she would slowly keep pulling away and making the lead bigger. Still, there would be caution around the halfway point of the event, which would tighten the field, and that would play into the hands of Jason Quenneville and Gary English. There would be a duel on the stretch that would see both English and Quenneville get by Leclaire, and then the battle would be on between English and Quenneville for the win, and in the end, Gary English would see the checkered flag first and take the spot in the Vermont 200 tomorrow. Then we would have the 9th State Cannabias Crown Vics for their 15-lap event, and it would see Eric Friend go wire to wire for the win. However, he would have competition from TJ Knight for the win, and Knight would extend his points lead to 6 as they come down the stretch for the title. Then, to conclude the afternoon of racing, a Last Chance Qualifier for the Fisher Auto Parts Mini Stocks would take place, with Kenny Tourville securing the win and the 19th starting spot in the main event tomorrow. Also getting in the show would be Cody Dion, Clem Bell, Chris Hewitt, and Jayde Pope. As for the second day of the Fabian Earth Movers Vermont 200, it will see the 2nd and 3rd Segment of Friend Construction Mini Sprints, Hoosier Novice Sportsman Modified, Fisher Auto Parts Mini Stocks, Renegades, and the Sunoco Sportsman Modified for the Vermont 200.
