TRI-TRACK SHOOTOUT ON JUNE 26 -- JULY 17 ADDED TO SCHEDULE

     MECHANICSBURG, PA -- The Saturday Night Series returns to Williams Grove Speedway on June 26 and while super sportsman cars will be on the card along with the street stocks and 4-cylinder stock cars, the 358 c.i. late models will take center stage this week.
     The first heat is scheduled to start at 6:30.
     The late model teams will be competing in the Tri-Track Shootout, a mini-series involving Trail-Way and Lincoln Speedways in addition to Williams Grove.
     Late model car count has been averaging 29  per race after four races this season and that number could increase since some invaders are expected for this week’s special event.
    Regardless of who is in the field, the man to beat may well be Gene Knaub.
     On June 19 the defending division champion became the first driver to repeat in late model competition at the Grove this year.
     Since the 2007 season this former 358-sprint driver has scored 14 victories in 358-late  model competition at Williams Grove.  No other driver can approach that figure.
     The sportsman division has produced five different winners in as many races this year.
     Last Saturday night Bobby Hockenberry scored his fourth career victory at the Grove and joined Paul Miller, Russ Mitten, Scott Dellinger and Rich Eichelberger as 2010 sportsman winners.
     There will be no Saturday night racing at Williams Grove over the July 4 holiday weekend, but the series will return with Topless Night on July 10.
     A Saturday night date has been added to the Grove’s schedule.
     Because three early season races were lost to rain, July 17 will be used to allow the sportsman, late model, street stock and 4-cylinder divisions the opportunity to make up at least one of those lost dates.
