  Showman And Promoter Jack Gunn To Be Honored Friday At Grove - 410 sprint special pays 8K to win in 43rd annual running

  Mechanicsburg - For the 43rd season in a row, Williams Grove Speedway will honor one of the finest showman and promoters the East has ever known on Friday night when the York Building Products Jack Gunn Memorial for 410 sprint cars is contested. First run in 1983, the Gunn Memorial honors late Williams Grove promoter Jack Gunn, a native of Hancock, Maryland. The 2025 event will be the 43rd annual Gunn Memorial and the winner's list is impressive to say the least. Bobby Allen was the first winner in 1983 with additional names on the win list like Frankie Kerr, Jason Johnson, Lance Dewease, Greg Hodnett, Fred Rahmer, Daryn Pittman, Keith Kauffman and many others. However no driver has claimed more Gunn Memorials over the years than the now retired Don Kreitz Jr. Jack Gunn was a Hall of Fame Promoter who heralded the speedway as promoter from 1967 until his untimely death from cancer at the age of 48 in 1980. He began working at the track during the early 1960s as an announcer and honed his skill on the microphone while eventually relaying his talents into the ovals captain. It was during his tenure at the helm of Williams Grove Speedway that Gunn rose to prominence on the local and national scene and he took the facility with him. During his career at Williams Grove, Gunn also promoted with much success at other area tracks. Gunns mark on both Williams Grove and the region itself was to help raise sprint car racing to not only a weekly division but a premiere weekly headline division at that. With his hand guiding them, Gunn first lured and then brought the likes of Jan Opperman, Bobby Allen, Steve Smith and more to the area to race, make a living and ultimately to make a home in this rich racing region. Gunn was feted nationally as 1979 Promoter of the Year. While at the top of his game, he not only stood at the helm at both Williams Grove and Selinsgrove Speedways, but he was also doing the job at Hagerstown, (Maryland) and Penn National Speedways. In his day, Jack Gunn was known as the most powerful promoter in the East. And it is that reputation and skill that Williams Grove Speedway will honor yet again this week with the running of the Jack Gunn Memorial. Gates will open at 5:30 pm with action getting underway at 7:30 pm. Adult general admission is set at $25 with youth ages 13 - 20 admitted for just $10. Kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

  Career Of Mitch Smith Honored Friday With 37th Smith Memorial - Williams Grove again honors legendary wheelman as part of Speedweek

  Mechanicsburg - When Williams Grove Speedway races this week on July 4, it will do so for the 37th year in a row in honor of a famed sprint car great, the late Mitch Smith of Linglestown. The oval will host the J & S Classics 37th annual Mitch Smith Memorial as part of Pennsylvania Speedweek on July 4 at 7:30 pm. And the race to honor Smith will pay a lucrative $20,000 to win out of a total purse worth almost $50,000. Richard D. "Mitch" Smith was the original "Mr. Excitement" of Pennsylvania sprint car lore. At Williams Grove Speedway alone he ended his four-decade long career in 1978 with 27 sprint car wins and nine super modified victories. But overall on his career, his checkered flags added up to 179. The name Mitch Smith became cemented nationally when in 1971 the "Little Guy" from Linglestown trounced the boasting stars of the United States Auto Club, not once, but three times when they towed into the region. In 1971, USAC was to sprint car racing what the World of Outlaws is today. USAC competition was the way to Indy. The USAC circuit groomed its drivers to sit on the Indy 500 starting grid. And start they did. But on June 19 and September 25 at Williams Grove Speedway in 1971 and again on July 17 at Selinsgrove Speedway, Mitch Smith used a rarely doled out temporary racing permit issued by USAC to just a few local drivers to beat the traveling band badly. The USAC stars were furious. Protests were lodged and tear-downs were performed. All was legal. Smith had beaten the unquestionable best in the sprint car business not once, not twice but three times. The word went out. "The Linglestown Leadfoot" Mitch Smith, had trounced USAC in Central Pennsylvania. Smith retired from the sport in 1978 and in 1988 at the age of 58 was felled by a massive heart attack. In 1995 Mitch Smith was inducted posthumously into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Iowa. It is the legacy left behind and the impact that Smith had on the sport in the region and at Williams Grove Speedway that the oval honors again this year with the running of the 37th annual Mitch Smith Memorial on Friday night. Anthony Macri is the defending winner of the prestigious Mitch Smith Memorial. Lance Dewease is the winningest driver in Smith Memorial history, having scored wins in 1992, 1995, 1997, 2001, 2018 and in 2021. Fred Rahmer has four Smith Memorials to his credit along with the late Greg Hodnett. Stevie Smith won the inaugural event in 1989.
