| (April 17, 2011 Lee Speedway)- An accident in practice forces Hunter Bates to postpone his Late model debut until Thunder Road Speedbowl season opener. Young Dirt Sportsman Modified Champion Hunter Bates from Middlebury, Vermont was set to make his American-Canadian Tour Asphalt Late Model Debut at Lee Speedway last weekend and unfortunately the day ended quickly as Hunter was involved in a violent collision with the outside retaining wall at the fast 3/8th Mile Lee Speedway. Hunter is okay and the car is being repaired and will be ready for action at the upcoming Merchant's Bank 150 at Thunder Road Speedbowl in Barre, Vermont on Saturday April 30 and May 1. |

Hunter Bates' concentration on Devils Bowl is proving to be a wise move.
Young Vermont Racer Hunter Bates had plans to race in the Late Model Division at Thunder Road
Speedbowl in Barre, Vermont and after testing the waters in a couple American Canadian Tour (ACT)
Races, the team made the decision to give Hunter some time to get used to the Asphalt Late Model.
Bates is coming off a Championship Year in the Budget Sportman Modifieds at Devil's Bowl and they
purchased the Late Model of Waterford Speedbowl Champion Timmy Jordan. The choice to give Hunter
more time in the ACT Late Model is paying off in ways the team did not expect.
Hunter currently sits in first place at the racy 1/2-mile Devil's Bowl's Pro-Late Model Division. Bates is 20
points ahead of #15 Chris Wilk.
Bates also is racing his NASCAR Modified as well and sits in 3rd place in points, only 46 points from the
top spot.
"We will like to race in some ACT Races, when time permits and when Hunters gets a little more
comfortable in the Late Model" Dad Marc Bates said.
Still looking for his first Pro-Late Model win of 2011, Bates already tasted victory in his NASCAR
Modified, winning the Feature back on June 19th.
With only 6 events left on the Devils Bowl schedule, you can check out Hunter as he tries to become a
2-Time, possibly 3-Time Champion at Devils Bowl every Sunday Night. For more information go to the
