ORWELL — Kenny Tremont Jr. took another victory lap at Devil’s Bowl on Sunday, July 27, as he pushed his number 115-car across the finish line in first place in the Sportsman Modified “C.J. Richards Memorial 100.”
Five other drivers also visited the winner’s circle during the event, with Anthony Warren, Mark Norris, Jake Barrows and Evan Roberts winning their feature races.
It took Tremont 56 laps to make his way from 17th position to first, but once he got there he pulled away from the field in the 100-lap Sportsman Modified race at Devil’s Bowl Speedway this weekend. Tremont, from West Sand Lake, N.Y., saw his big lead vanish in a lap-99 restart, but held off the competition in the green-white-checker finish to win his fifth race of the season.
