Mechanicsburg –
 Just one month remains until the 2018 season opener at Williams Grove Speedway on Sunday afternoon, March 11, featuring the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars. 

A 2 pm starting time is slated for the sprints-only program that will find the high-flying sprinters competing in a 25-lap main paying $3,600 to win. 

Thomasville’s Greg Hodnett is the defending opening day winner at Williams Grove Speedway. 

Hodnett went on to claim a total of four full-blow sprint car victories at the track last season along with a URC win. 

If completed, the Sunday afternoon lidlifter will be the first Sunday opener completed since back in 2008 when Fred Rahmer copped the main event.
