Barre, VT — The all-important Booth Bros/Hood Vermont Milk Bowl Qualifying Day on Saturday, September 30 sets the stage for Sunday’s 61st Vermont Milk Bowl presented by Northfield Savings Bank. Along with qualifying for the Vermont Milk Bowl and the Mini Milk Bowls, Saturday will also feature action-packed events for the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Models and the New England Supermodified Series (NESS).
After making the long-haul to Spud Speedway in Caribou, Maine last Saturday, the PASS Super Late Model titans return to Thunder Road for the Booth Bros/Hood Showdown. D.J. Shaw would love to continue his hot-streak after taking the Feed the County 150 at Spud and looks to make it two-for-two in the Bar Harbor Bank & Trust machine. Along with Shaw, Johnny Clark and Joey Doiron were able to make-up some ground on PASS point leader Max Cookson while Trevor Sanborn, Dennis Spencer Jr., Andy Shaw and Gabe Brown are also set to join the 150-lap spectacular.
The New England Supermodified Series season is coming down to the wire with just two events left in the 2023 season.

The Booth Bros./Hood $1,000 pole award and $500 outside pole awards will be presented to the two fastest time trialers while each of the three Triple 50 heat races host their own $4,300 for the top-10 finishers.
