Nick Sweet, the four-time and defending Vermont Milk Bowl winner, Thunder Road International Speedbowl track record holder and multi-time King of the Road track champion has officially entered the New England Supermodified Series (NESS) event on Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Milk Bowl Friday on September 30.
