SATURDAY NIGHT SERIES FEATURES 3 OPEN WHEEL DIVISIONS MAY 8

     MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Following a three-week break the Saturday Night Series will return to Williams Grove Speedway on May 8 with a rare open wheel triple header.
     The super sportsman cars will be the headline attraction as usual, but this week they will share the pit area with the ARDC midgets and the 305-sprints.
     A street stock feature has also been added to the May 8 program.
     The sportsman teams should be out in force after being idle at Williams Grove for three weeks.  Rain wiped out the April 24 event and no racing was scheduled on May 1.
     Paul Miller won the sportsman opener on April 10.  Russ Mitten, who finished second to Miller, came back to win the sportsman feature a week later.
     Both Miller and Mitten are expected to be in competition this week along with Frankie Herr, Carmen Perigo, Rich Eichelberger, Chad Criswell and at least two dozen others in this highly competitive division.
     The ARDC midgets will be making their first of two Saturday night starts at Williams Grove this season.  They will return on Topless Night, July 10.
     The non-wing midgets produced 34 cars and some exciting racing in their only scheduled Friday night appearance at Williams Grove on April 30.  The Royersford Rocket, Steve Buckwalter, a weekly competitor in the Grove’s sprint car division, used his experience to score an impressive victory in the midget feature.
     The 305-sprints raced at Williams Grove on April 17 and Harrisonville’s Mike Wagner II bested a 19-car field.
     Following this week’s program the Saturday Night Series will return on May 22 when the sportsman cars will be joined by the 358-late models, street stocks and 4-cylinder stock cars.
