The May 20 and 21 outlaws stand at Williams Grove will be the

offers $5,000 of the posted $17,000 winner’s share to the feature victor in
honor of late Williams Grove owner Mr. Morgan Hughes.
Morgan Cup bragging rights will go home
for another season, either to the home of the PA Posse or to the corporate home
of the World of Outlaws.
The cup has been in the hands of the
Posse since Stevie Smith put his mark on it in last year’s Morgan Cup, held in
July.

outlaws program completed at Williams Grove last season with the other falling
victim to rain.

both North Dakota’s Schatz and California’s Brad Sweet are on top of the series
win list with Sweet just scoring his sixth of they year while Schatz holds at
five.
Sweet is the current point leader.
