GROVE SPRINT CARS AND URC ON KIDS NIGHT AUGUST 27

     MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Williams Grove Speedway will present a sprint car double header on Friday evening, August 27, featuring the Grove’s premier division along with the season’s final appearance of the United Racing Company (URC).
     Racing is scheduled to begin at 7:30.
     August 27 will also be Kids Night at the speedway.
     There will be games and prizes for the kids throughout the evening.
     The Moon Bounce and Giant Slide will be set up in the infield.  There will be Big Wheel and bike races on the track.  And clowns will be roaming the grounds to entertain the young race fans.
     A fireworks display will also be presented.
     URC’s last appearance at the Grove on August 6 drew several of the area’s top sprint car drivers to compete with the traveling organization.
      Daryn Pittman, the ex-Outlaw from Owasso, Oklahoma, bolted a 360 cubic inch power plant into his Leland’s.com sprint car and led every lap to score his first URC victory.
     In addition to Pittman, other Williams Grove sprint car regulars who competed with URC  on August 6 include Aaron Ott, who won the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Battle at the Grove a night earlier, along with Brian Montieth, Mark Smith and Gerard McIntyre.
     Williams Grove’s 358-c.i. sprints will be eligible to compete with URC as well.
     Current Tool Shed of America point leader Pat Cannon finished second to Pittman on August 6.
     Other 358 stars who competed with URC include 4-time champion Cory Haas,  Blane Heimbach and Jessica Anderson.
     URC will be led by defending champion J. J. Grasso, 6-time champion Curt Michael and former Williams Grove champion and Hall of Famer Kramer Williamson.
