World Of Outlaws Race At Williams Grove Friday & Saturday, May 15 & 16
5/10/15
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mechanicsburg
– The
World of Outlaws will invade Williams Grove Speedway this Friday and Saturday
night, May 15 and 16, at 7:30 pm.
The invasion by the traveling band will be the first of three
clashes between the outlaws and the Pennsylvania Posse this year.
On Friday night, the 25-lap sprint car winner will receive
$8,000 while Saturday’s champion of a 30-lap feature will walk away with $12,000
plus another $5,000 for being crowned the 2015 Morgan Cup champion.
The Morgan Cup title is bestowed in honor of late speedway
owner Morgan Hughes and the winner’s side of the title will take ownership of
the sterling Morgan Cup for another season.
The trophy will be kept at either World of Outlaws
headquarters in Concord, NC., or at the offices of Williams Grove Speedway in
Mechanicsburg.
Three charities will receive gift baskets during the
weekend including the Williams Grove portions of the 50/50 drawing on both
nights.
Recipients of the oval’s donations will be The Bethesda
Project, the Kiwanis of Dillsburg and the Pennsylvania State Police CampCadet.
The
Bethesda Project is located in Philadelphia and provides shelter, housing and
programs reaching out to chronically homeless men and women.
Kiwanis is a service organization that helps local communities by raising money for people in need, providing volunteers for fundraisers and more.
At Camp Cadet, youngsters
learn about law enforcement and the judiciary system as taught by the State
Police at the weeklong camp.
Last year’s May WoO shows at
Williams Grove saw circuit regular Daryn Pittman sweep the two-day stand while
an outlaw in the form of David Gravel scored the National Open.
However the Summer Nationals in
July were scored by a pair of PA Posse pilots in the form of Greg Hodnett and
Lance Dewease.
Hodnett currently leads the Williams Grove Speedway point
standings and by most accounts is “outlaw fast” at this point in the season.
The World of Outlaws series will hit town with Donny Schatz
leading Shane Stewart and Brad Sweet in circuit points.
Adult general admission for
both outlaws shows is $30 with youth admitted both nights for just $15.
Kids ages 12 and under are always
admitted free at Williams Grove Speedway!
