Mechanicsburg, PA June 3, 2015

The month of June means students across the Susquehanna Valley will be putting aside the pencils and commencing with summer recess.  To begin the summer of fun, this Saturday Williams Grove Speedway presents the first School’s Out Special as part of the Saturday Night Series.

The School’s Out program began as a math challenge to the students of South Mountain and Monroe elementary schools.  Students that successfully completed the program will attend the evening’s events.

Beginning at 5 PM, gates will open to all spectators.  The first 400 children to arrive at the infield tent will each receive a fun bag that contains activity packs, goodies, and coupons for free items to enjoy throughout the summer.  Wendy's, ABC West Bowling, Red Crown Bowling Center, The Pride of the Susquehanna, Wildwood Park, Alwine Nature Center, and Buffalo Wild Wings are some of the local businesses that contributed to the fun bag.

There will be race cars on display in the infield giving youngsters a close look at the racing equipment.  Drivers will be present to sign autographs.

Included in the entertainment will be face painting, piñatas, and relay races in the infield, along with an inflatable obstacle course. Buffalo Wild Wings will be on hand and will have a spinning wheel to give out prizes. The Buffalo Wild Wing Mascot will also be present.

Williams Grove Speedway will donate their half of the evening’s 50/50 money to the PTOs of Monroe and South Mountain elementary schools.

The young fans will watch racing action featuring the Blazer’s Body Shop Super Sportsman, Credit Connection Auto Sales 358 Late Models and Aquafun Pools Street Stocks.  Last week Scott Dellinger won his first 2015 Blazer’s Body Shop Super Sportsman main event.  Gene Knaub returned to the Credit Connection Auto Sales 358 Late Model victory lane for the second straight week.  In the Aquafun Pools Street Stocks Jeff Haag captured his third victory of the year.

Pit gates open this week at 4:30 PM.  Practice starts at 6:30 with the first qualifying event beginning at 7.
