Mechanicsburg – Williams Grove Speedway will host the Associated Builders and Contractors Spring Sprint Special coming up this Friday, April 11 at 7:30 pm.
On the track will be the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars and the PASS IMCA 305 sprint cars.
The 410 sprints will not only be competing in a full program as part of the special but the division will also be completing the opening night feature held over from April 4.
Matt Campbell was leading the April 4 opening night event when rains halted action with five laps completed.
The wingless sportsman have been removed from the racing program this week due to time constraints while fans instead get a chance to see a pair of 410 sprint mains take to the track.
Williams Grove and sportsman series officials are working together in an effort to find a make-up date for the wingless super sportsman.
As part of the regular program, the 410 sprint cars will vie in the first Yellow Breeches 500 event of the season, offering $5,000 to win and $500 just to start the 25-lap main event.
In addition, Williams Grove has increased purses for each of the Yellow Breeches races to be held at the track this season.
A total of $4,000 has been added to each of the Yellow Breeches purses, to be distributed starting with the second finishing position while finding even the 10th place finisher earning a cool $1,000.
Timed hot lap periods will set the heat starting grids for the 410 sprints with hot lap groups set via pill draw.
