Mechanicsburg – The NAPA All Stars Circuit of Champions Sprints return to Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, June 6 for the Associated Builders and Contractors Lynn Paxton EMMR Legends Classic.
The 30-lap All Stars main meant to honor late Williams Grove champion and racing historian Lynn Paxton of Dillsburg will pay the winner $8,000 for the victory.

Special pre-race activities to honor Paxton will take place in the infield.
Interviews with family and colleagues will take place and restored Paxton sprint cars will be on display.
After a year on hiatus, the All Stars circuit has returned to their travels for the 2025 racing season and they made sure to put a date at Williams Grove on their itinerary.

Since then a total of 47 main events have been run at Williams Grove under the All Stars banner but it took until 2019 for an All Stars regular to drive to victory at the historic oval.
Aaron Reutzel of Clute, Texas, scored that first series win at the track before adding two more to his Grove win total.
Kyle Larson took a pair of All Stars wins at the Grove as an independent in 2019 and in 2020.
