Matt Janczuk (22) and Payton Talbot (14) battle for the lead and the $10,000 late in the race as Janczuk would get his third straight win in the Fabian Vermont 200. It would be the second day of the Vermont 200 weekend from the Devil's Bowl Speedway, and there would be another five divisions in action, along with the big go, the 10,000 to win Sportsman Modified. The other divisions in action that day were the Hoosier Novice Sportsman Modifieds, Fisher Auto Parts Mini Stocks, Friend Construction Mini Sprints, and the Renegades. The first feature on the second day of the Fabian Vermont 200 would be the Hoosier Novice Sportsman Modifieds with their 20-lap feature. It would see 16 cars take the green flag. It would see Gavin Fleury jump out to the lead at the start of the race and have a battle with James Mclellan for the first part of the race, but in the late stages, Rob Steves would do his best to get around Fleury for the win. Still, in the end, Gavin Fleury would lead all 20 laps for his first career victory in just his third ever race. Then it would be the Friend Construction 500cc Mini Sprints that would have a three-segment event on the weekend to decide their winner, and Quinn Quenneville would take the win on Saturday in segment 1. hen on Sunday they would run the second and third stage and Destin St. Clair would get the second stage and it would be interesting coming to the third and final stage as there would be a four way tie at the top to decide it. The winner of the third stage would be Tyler Whittemore. Still, by virtue of a second-place finish, Gage Provencher secured the overall win, scoring points due to a fifth-place finish in the first segment, a third-place finish in the second segment, and a second-place finish in the last segment. Then, making only their second appearance at the Devil's Bowl Speedway, the Renegades would battle it out, and Josh Bussino would lead the race wire to wire for the win. Still, all the excitement would come in victory lane when he would propose to his long-term girlfriend, and she said yes. Then we would have the Fisher Auto Parts Mini Stocks for their 15 lap event, and Kyle Jordan would take the lead at the start of the race and hold it to around the mid point of the event when Brian Blake would get around him for the lead, and the battle would be on between him and Chris Charboneau for the win. BrianBlake would be the eventual winner. Then it would be time for the one we had been waiting for all weekend, as it would be the running of the 8th Fabian Vermont 200 for the Sunoco Sportsman Modified. The question coming into the race would be: would anyone have anything for Matt Janczuk, as he had won the last two? There would be 69 cars entering the event for their shot at the $10,000 prize. We would be taking 38 to the main event, so qualifying would be intense throughout the day, starting with Time Trails. With that being the case, everyone would be after the fastest time in Time Trails. Matt Janczuk would set the fastest time with a 19.125 and take the $200 bonus from Bill McGaffin Photography. Then it would be on to the heats, and we would take the top three from the six heats to the main event. The rest would be headed to the Consis, and the winners of the heats would be Matt Janczuk, Jim Nagle, Brent Warren, Dave Camara, Kevin Chafee, and Derrick McGrew Jr. Then, there would be three Consis. We would take the top 4 to give us 30 for the main event, but the rest would have one more chance to get in the big show through one of the two B Mains. However, the winners of the Consolations would be Cody McPherson, Payton Talbot, and Marty Kelly III. Then it woud be onto the B Mains where the remaining 39 cars would be split in to two B Mains where the top 2 would make the show giving us 34 cars in the main and transfering from them would be Tanner Siemons Nick Heywood, Tony Finch and Max Dolliver and there would be four provisions handed out to Gary English, Vince Quenneville, Adam Piper and Nick Zielinski. Then we would finally have our 38 cars for the Fabian Vermont 200, and it would see Donovan Lussier get the lead off the start. Aj Munger would stick his nose in there and lead a couple of laps, but Donovan Lussier would take most of the first half of the event. Although Brian Calabrese would challenge him, he would also lead for a significant portion of the event. Then there would be a challenge from Matt Janczuk, and Lussier would hold him off until he meets an opponent's tire, and Janczuk would take the lead. Over the last thirty or so laps, there would be a challenge from Payton Talbot, as he was looking for the double after winning the 358 Modifieds the day before. However, in the end, Matt Janczuk would hold on and take home his third straight Fabian Vermont 200. The $10,000 rounding out the field would be Payton Talbot and Cody McPherson. Although the season is not yet over at the Devil's Bowl Speedway, they will be back in action next Saturday, September 6th, with Hertige Family Credit Union Night. Gallery
