Mechanicsburg - There will be no racing at Williams Grove Speedway on August 14 as the track takes a scheduled week off from racing action.
The next slated event will be Friday night, August 21 when "Tires" on Netflix will present the 44th annual Jack Gunn Memorial for Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars.
The 30-lap Gunn Memorial, run in honor of the former oval and NSCHOF promoter, will pay $8,000 to win.
The Gunn Memorial will be part of the Hoosier Diamond Series and the PA Posse 410 Sprint Series at Williams Grove.
The event will also include the Sportsman Showdown, offering twin 20s for the winged and non-wing super sportsman.
The sportsman will compete in features only.
At this point in the season with the final weeks of action dawning, Hanover's Troy Wagaman Jr. currently leads the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint point standings as he works to record a second consecutive track title for car owner Mike Heffner.
Chase Dietz is currently 340 points back of leader Wagaman.
In the HJ Towing & Recovery 358 sprint points standings, Derek Locke is the current point leader by just 20 markers over Cody Fletcher.
In other news, Williams Grove Speedway has made a change to its 410 sprint schedule to begin the month of September.
Originally slated to be the Dave Blaney Tribute race for 410 sprints on September 4, a scheduling conflict has caused the event to be changed to a 30-lap Fall Championship for 410 sprint cars.
Paying $8,000 to win as part of the Hoosier Diamond Series and the PA Posse 410 Sprint Series, the event will offer numerous contingency prizes to the drivers in the 410 sprint ranks.
At this point, gift certificates for products and/or cash value from Hoosier Tire, DMI, Kreitz Oval Track Parts, Sander Engineering, J & S Classics and Hoseheads.com have been secured for giveaway with more prizes expected to be added.
More details will be announced regarding prizes for the Fall Championship in the coming weeks.
