MECHANICSBURG, PA (July 18, 2025) — Troy Wagaman Jr. throttled Mike Heffner’s No. 27 to the sprint car win at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, scoring a clean sweep of the evening by setting fast time, winning his heat, the dash and the 25-lap main event in the World of Outlaws Tune Up.
Including $300 for fast time, Wagaman took $6,300 back to his hometown of Hanover for his fourth career win at the historic oval.
In twin 358 sprint mains, Hanover’s Dylan Norris took home the loot in both features.
Wagaman started on the pole of the 410 sprint main and entered the rear of the field on lap six, trailed by fourth starter Lance Dewease.
The feature would go non-stop from start to finish with a blistering pace being set by the leaders as traffic played a factor in action at the front of the field for the final 19 laps.
For the most part Wagaman was able to navigate traffic and maintain an advantage over Dewease but by lap 15 amid hard racing between the backmarkers, Dewease was able to mount a challenge.
And he was close enough to capitalize for the lead on lap 21 when Wagaman got held up in the first corner.
Dewease used the cushion to blast around for control and duck down in front of Wagaman as the pair shot onto the backchute.
But then ironically Dewease got boxed in by the same traffic that held up Wagaman moments earlier, allowing the Hanover pilot to throttle back out in front for the victory.
Wagaman took the win by .308 seconds over Dewease with Kody Hartlaub riding home in third.
Freddie Rahmer finished fourth with Justin Whittall completing the top five.
Sixth through 10th went to TJ Stutts, Chad Trout, Cameron Smith, Matt Campbell and Tyler Ross.
Heats went to Wagaman, Stutts and Hartlaub with Wagaman earning the pole for the feature by claiming the dash.
Wagaman set fast time with a lap of 16.426 seconds.
Dylan Norris wired the field in the make-up Dirty Deeds 25 limited sprint feature held over from April 4.
He was chased early by Brett Wanner who would give up second to Andy Best on lap 13.
Best finished in second by .923 seconds followed by Wanner, Scott Fisher and Nash Ely.
The regularly scheduled 358 sprint main, a Summer Series event, saw Wanner lead the first 10 laps before eighth starter Norris drove into command.
Wanner took the lead back from Norris on the 12th circuit but eventually again succumbed to Norris with nine laps to go.
Fourth starter Derek Locke raced into second with seven laps to go but failed to challenge Norris for the win.
Best was third followed by Wanner and Chase Gutshall.
The wins were the fifth and sixth of Norris’ career at Williams Grove.
Heats went to Wanner, Adam Carberry, Chad Criswell and Cole Young with Frankie Herr winning the consolation race.
