SPRINTS AND LATE MODELS MARCH 26 AT WILLIAMS GROVE

     MECHANICSBURG, PA -- The powerful late model stock cars will join the sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, March 26. 
     The first heat is scheduled to start at 7:30.
     Three late model features were completed last year and were won by Steve Francis, Jamie Lathroum and Jason Covert.  Covert’s victory was a thriller over NASCAR star Kyle Busch.
     Late model competitors have shown tremendous support for the races at Williams Grove - last year’s car count averaged 38 per meet - so four dates have been scheduled for this division in 2010.
     In addition to March 26, the late models have been slated for April 9, which is also a Friday night in which sprint cars will be the featured attraction.
     Williams Grove Speedway will be a part of Late Model Speedweek again this year and will host a race on Tuesday evening, June 8.  The 358 c.i. .sprints will also be on the June 8 card.
     The final sprint/late model double header is set for October 8.
     Gary Stuhler is the leading active late model feature winner at Williams Grove with 20 career victories.
     In the Grove’s sprint car division, drivers will be competing once again this week for points toward the Lawrence Chevrolet track championship, which will be worth $20,000 to the winning team at season’s end,
     Qualifying heats will be lined up according to the luck of the draw in both the sprint car and late model divisions this week.
