The HJ Towing and Recovery 358 sprint cars are also on the program and their appearance carries importance in and of itself.

 

Friday’s date for the 358 sprints will be the final chance for drivers to get qualified for the upcoming HJ Towing and Recovery Championship event at Williams Grove on September 16.
