WEST HAVEN —   Former Devil’s Bowl Speedway champion Dave Camara of Poultney and Canadian driver Felix Roy claimed victories in the top events on Saturday at West Haven track as the half-mile dirt oval hosted its annual Mid-Season Championships with double features for seven divisions.

Fourteen racers in all claimed victories on the big night, including local drivers Troy Audet of Bridport, Steve Miller of Vergennes, Jason Kerr of Shoreham, Gage Provencher of Bridport and Eric Friend of Middlebury.

Camara won the opening race of the night, a 25-lap feature for the DirtCar 358 Modifieds. Camara took full advantage of a front-row spot on the starting grid, taking control early and cruising to the win. Roy finished second, and Bristol’s Josh Masterson was fourth, becoming the only Addison County racer in the top 10.

In the second DirtCar 358 Modifieds race, it was Roy’s turn, using a late pass to prevail for his first win at the West Haven track. Masterson was again the only local racer to crack the top 10, taking fifth in a series that doesn’t race regularly at Devil’s Bowl.

Next up on the card was the speedway’s weekly headline division, the Sunoco Sportsman Modifieds, for a pair of 25-lap showdowns. In the first feature, Fair Haven’s Josh LeClaire rolled to his first win of the season. LeClaire has been snake-bitten on several occasions when he seemed to have the best car, but on this night everything came together as he pulled away for the victory.

Local drivers populated half of the top 10: Leicester’s Adam Piper was second; Whiting’s Jim Ryan, fifth; Masterson, seventh; Orwell’s Randy Ryan, eighth; and Brandon’s Joey Scarborough, 10th.

In the second Sportsman Modified feature, Bridport’s Audet outdueled New Hampshire racer Tanner Siemons to earn his first win of the season. Siemons led through the early stages, but it was clear Audet’s car was quick. Audet was able to wrestle the lead from Siemons, and then on a series of restarts, Audet hugged the inside line, with Siemons testing the outside of the track. Each time Siemons seemed to have an advantage on the turns, Audet would power away down the backstretch and hold off Siemons, who settled for second.

Brandon’s Scarborough was fourth, Orwell’s Randy Ryan was ninth, and Leicester’s Piper was 10th.

The first of two O’Reilly Auto Parts Limited Sportsman 20-lap races saw Fair Haven youngster William Lussier Jr. cruise to a win.  New Haven’s Alex Layn was sixth, and Salisbury’s Freddie Little was 10th.

Veteran Vergennes driver Steve Miller finished back in the pack despite starting in the front row in the first Limited Sportsman race, but round two was a different story. Miller started on the front row again, but this time he survived an early challenge before pulling away for the win. Salisbury’s Gary English came on strong late to place second, Whiting’s Logan Denis was fifth, and Layn was sixth.

Shoreham’s Jason Kerr dominated the first 15-lap Hoosier Tire Novice Sportsman feature. Kerr jumped to an early lead and drove off for his first win of the season. Brandon’s Winston Forbes was third, third, Bristol’s Aiden Benoure was fifth, and East Middlebury’s Chris Sumner was eighth.

In the second 15-lap Novice Sportsman feature, New York driver Raelin Dunham recovered from a late-race penalty for starting early on a restart to carve out her second win in as many weeks. Dunham started 14th in a caution-filled event and took advantage of the high attrition rate to move into contention before taking control in the final laps. Benoure finished third, Leicester’s Matt Cram was fourth, Brandon’s Forbes was fifth, Salisbury’s Matt Little was sixth, and Kerr was seventh.

Gage Provencher earned his second consecutive win in the first of two 12-lap Friend Construction 500cc Mini Sprints races. Multi-time winner Ray Hansen of Orwell was reeling in Provencher when his car suffered a mechanical issue. With Hansen out of contention, Provencher soon parked his car in victory lane. Brandon’s Quinn Quenneville took third.

In the second 12-lap Mini Sprint feature, St. Albans driver Scott Bachand enjoyed his first win in 42 years so much a couple of weeks ago that he decided to do it again. Bachand held off the late-charging Hansen and Provencher to add a second trophy to his collection. Hanson and Provencher finished second and third, respectively, and Quenneville was sixth.

TJ Knight of Wells and Middlebury’s Eric Friend split a pair of 12-lap features in the Ninth State Cannabis Crown Vic division. Knight visited Victory Lane for the first time in 2025 after moving up from the mini stocks. Friend finished third in the opening race in the division.

In the second Crown Vic Feature, Friend motored to victory, with North Ferrisburgh’s Norm Morrill in fourth.

The Fisher Auto Parts Mini Stocks ran two 20-lap features.

In the first, series points leader Tyler Bell of New York weaved his way through the field to win his second feature in a row. Cornwall’s Brian Blake and Whiting’s Bob Wood ran 8-9 in the race.

In the second, Rutland’s Ryan Patch, who has been knocking on the door all season, drove through it in the evening’s finale. Kaleb Shepard of Vergennes was fifth, Brandon’s Joe Malzac was seventh, and Orwell’s Jakobee Alger was 10th.

Racing returns to Devil’s Bowl Speedway at 7 p.m. this Saturday.
