Williams Grove Hosts All Stars Sprints And ARDC Midgets This Week
4/20/14
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mechanicsburg –
The All Star
Circuit of Champions Sprints are set to compete at Williams Grove Speedway this
Friday, April 25 at 7:30 pm.
The event
will be the first attack of the year on the track by an invading circuit set to
do battle with the Pennsylvania Posse sprint stars.
The All Stars and the Posse will compete in a 30-lap main
event paying $5,000 to win.
The
ARDC Midgets are also on the card.
The race will be the second leg of the 2014 Diamond Series
at the track after Doug Esh took
last week’s Tommy Hinnershitz Memorial Spring Classic event to kick off this
year’s series.
Down through history, the Williams Grove regulars have
remained stalwart defenders of any attack on the oval’s winner’s circle by the
invaders.
No All Star has ever won an All Star sanctioned race at
Williams Grove Speedway.
The first All Star event ever contested at the historic
oval back in 1970 was won by Bobbie Adamson.
Last year’s All Stars shows at the track were taken by
Posse drivers Don Kreitz Jr and Danny Dietrich.
No driver has beaten the All
Stars more often at the track over the decades than Lance Dewease, who has
bested the band a total of five times.
Single wins of note through the years have come with an
upset by Barry Camp, a close race to the finish for Jim Siegel and a romp by
Steve Buckwalter.
Time trials will set the starting grids for the April 25
All Stars racing program.
Drivers frequenting the All Stars circuit this season
include perennial champions Tim Shaffer and Dale Blaney, Jac Haudenschild, Chad
Kemenah, Caleb Helms, Trey Gustin and Danny Holtgraver.
The All Stars will return to the track for a second 2014
race date on June 13.
The Williams Grove Speedway
Saturday Series races begin on April 26 with the Super Sportsman, 358 late
models and street stocks on the program at 6:30 pm.
And remember, kids ages 12 and under are
always admitted free at Williams Grove Speedway!
