About Williams Grove Speedway

Located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, the half-mile Williams Grove Speedway has been part of the rich history of motorsports throughout the nation and the world since the gates were first opened in 1939. Tommy Hinnershitz won the first-ever event contested before weekly sprint car racing began in 1967. Prior to that time stock car racing was the norm before it evolved into coupes and the famed 30 x 90 bugs.

The Cumberland County oval has been the playing field for not only some of the most recognized sanctioning bodies in auto racing but also for the finest drivers to ever strap themselves into an open-cockpit car. National champions like Ted Horn, A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti have raced at the Grove, which has laid the framework for what has come to be known as the best in the sprint car business competing on a regular basis.

Today, Williams Grove hosts weekly programs of the best sprint car racing anywhere from late February to October, including appearances by the World of Outlaws. Featuring a family atmosphere and affordable prices, be sure to visit The Grove in person after you have visited us on the web.

The speedway is a one-half mile semi-banked clay oval.  The surface is prepared for every event by grading and watering in a attempt to maintain a smooth and moist surface.   Williams Grove Speedway presents Sprint Car racing as the major attraction.

Special programs include the traveling World of Outlaws sprint cars, 358 Limited Sprints, URC Sprints, Super Sportsman and Late Models. The normal race night is Friday with a starting time of 8pm.

The facility has seating for over 10,000 people including a grandstand and an infield for spectators that is separate from the pit area.  There are many food stands throughout the spectator areas and they offer a wide variety of hot and cold food items and drinks.

We are very excited about finally finding a location to reopen the Silver Spring Flea Market. With it's existing buildings, this site offers great potential for a unique outdoor market. We envision the Park Market as a place where you
will be able to purchase unique treasures, fresh produce, crafts and other flea market items.

Our goal is to make the Park Market a place that the entire family will enjoy. Later in the Spring, we hope to offer kiddie rides for the children, including the 140 year old carousel, and maybe even the water slide this summer. We plan to turn the arcade, gift shop and other buildings into indoor vendor spaces and already have many of the quality inside vendors from the Silver Spring Market planning to participate.  Please visit the Park Market on Sundays throughout the season to see our plans materialize!
