Mechanicsburg – Williams Grove Speedway will host the HVAC Distributors Morgan Cup for World of Outlaws and Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars coming up this Friday and Saturday, May 8 and 9 at 7:30 pm both nights.
The HVAC Distributors Morgan Cup will find the outlaws and Pennsylvania Posse sprint car drivers squaring off in a 25 lap main on Friday with the big prize up for grabs on Saturday night when a 30-lap feature is contested.
The winner will score $12,000 on Friday night before Saturday’s finale pays $15,000 to win plus another $5,000 for Morgan Cup bragging rights, setting up a $20,000 take for the finale winner.
The driver who sets overall fast time in each Morgan Cup racing program will earn $300 as the Fast Tees Fast Time award winner.
Named after late track owner Morgan Hughes, the HVAC Distributors Morgan Cup is contested each May to establish bragging rights between the outlaws and Williams Grove drivers.
The home of the Morgan Cup champion lays claim to the Morgan Cup trophy itself for the ensuing year, either at the speedway office in Mechanicsburg or at World of Outlaws headquarters in Concord, North Carolina.
For the last two years the Morgan Cup has found a home at the offices of Williams Grove Speedway thanks to a win last May by Anthony Macri and by TJ Stutts in 2024.
Logan Schuchart scored the most recent win for the World of Outlaws drivers.
Since the event was first run in 2011, the score is now tied between the outlaws drivers and the locals known as the Pennsylvania Posse as both factions have scored the cup a total of seven times each.
The race was not contested in 2020.
