Big August Races Loom At Williams Grove
Mechanicsburg – The month of August includes four big events at Williams Grove Speedway, beginning this Friday August 5.
On tap Friday night will be the VP Racing Fuels Billy Kimmel Memorial for the 410 sprint cars paying $6,000 to win as part of the Hoosier Diamond Series.
And on the same night, a first-of-its-kind Match Race for the 358 sprint cars will be contested offering a total purse worth more than $20,000.
The much anticipated Match Race, including matched sponsorship funds from the speedway, will go 25-laps in distance while paying $2,021 to win and $696 just to start.
After a night off on August 12, the track returns in a big way on August 19 when Messick’s Farm Equipment presents the World of Outlaws Late Models Series along with the 410 sprint cars.
The outlaws super late models will vie in a 40-lap main paying $10,000 to the winner.
Pennsylvanian Gregg Satterlee is the defending outlaws late model winner at Williams Grove.
And then one week later the month will come to a close on August 26 with the running of the 40th annual Jack Gunn Memorial for the 410 sprints, sanctioned by the All Stars Circuit of Champions.
The Gunn Memorial, another race in the 2022 Hoosier Diamond Series at the oval, will be a twin 20s racing program with each feature event paying $4,000 to the winner.
Presented by Union Quarries, both 20-lap features will award full points toward the 2022 season track title chase.
Anthony Macri won the Gunn Memorial in 2021.
