Spring Sprint Special Spices Up Season At Williams Grove

MECHANICSBURG, Pa. — The Spring Sprint Special is on tap for sprint car fans at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, April 14.

A rare three-division sprint car show is slated with the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars headlining the program.

The 410s will race in a $5,500-to-win main event.

Joining the big sprint cars on the bill will be the USAC East wingless 360 sprints and the IMCA/PASS 305 sprint cars.

Both the USAC East and 305s will spin off 20-lap features.

In last year’s Spring Sprint Special, Anthony Macri, Briggs Danner and Dave Grube took the wins in the 410s, USAC 360s and the 305 sprints, respectively.

The sprint car trio on the track on April 14 will be just the second show of the season after several March rainouts. 

The annual Tommy Hinnershitz Classic for the 410 sprints is coming up at Williams Grove on April 21.

The Tommy Classic will pay $8,000 to the winner.

April will close on the 28th with a show of 410 sprints and URC 360/358 sprints, competing in a challenge race. 

Indiana’s Zeb Wise kicked off the sprint car season at Williams Grove on April 7 with an upset victory.
