6/21/15
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mechanicsburg
– Williams Grove Speedway will kickoff the 25th
annual Pennsylvania Speedweek Series for 410 sprint cars this Friday night,
June 26 at 7:30 pm.
The Williams Grove Lawrence
Chevrolet 410 sprints will compete in the speedweek series opener, paying
$5,000 to win a 25-lap main event.
The race will be part of the 2015 Hoosier Diamond Series
at the oval.
The ARDC Midgets will also be on the Friday night card.
The Williams Grove
portion of the 50/50 on the night will be donated to Citizens Hose Co. No. 1
of Dillsburg as the company that supplies ambulance coverage to the
speedway.
Thanks to speedweek series title sponsors Jake’s
WayBack Burgers and Trone Outdoor, the 2015 speedweek series champion will
receive a hefty and fitting $10,000 for the laurels.
Williams Grove Speedway first began hosting the
start of the highly successful series back in 2013.
Greg Hodnett, the current
Williams Grove season and Diamond Series point leader, won that first
Williams Grove kickoff with Danny Dietrich scoring the opener at the track
last year.
Williams Grove will play
host to its second and biggest night of the 2015 series one week later, on
July 3 at 7:30 pm, when it hosts “The Crown Jewel Of Speedweek,” The Mitch
Smith Memorial.
The Smith Memorial pays $10,000 to the winner.
This year will mark the 27th running of the
prestigious event honoring the late area hot shoe.
Clearly, current Grove point leader Greg Hodnett is the
man to beat in speedweek action.
The Spring Grove pilot owns four career titles in the
series but his car owner, Mike Heffner of Hellertown has yet to garner a
crown.
And this could be the year for Heffner.
His car and Hodnett have
already won twice at the Grove alone this season and eight other times
during their campaign thus far, making them the win leaders in the East and
one of the top performing teams in the nation.
The quest for the speedweek title all starts Friday
night, at 7:30 pm, at Williams Grove Speedway.
Adult general admission for the show is $16 with youth
ages 13 – 20 admitted for $10.
Kids ages 12 and under
are always admitted free at Williams Grove Speedway!
The Williams Grove
Saturday Series featuring the super sportsman continues on Saturdays during
the summer months with race time at 7 pm each week.
