Mechanicsburg - It will be tune up night this Friday, May 9 at Williams Grove Speedway for the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars as the division preps for next week's invasion by the STP World of Outlaws sprint cars.
In order to be ready for the two-day, May 16 and 17 outlaws stand at the oval, the weekly Williams Grove sprint cars will contest the tune up race paying $4,000 to win.
The race will also be part of the 2014 Hoosier Diamond Series at the historic venue.
Beginning at 7:30 pm, time trials for the 410 sprint cars will set the starting grids for the night.
The feature event will be 25 laps in distance.
Also on the program will be the Tool Shed of America 358 sprint cars with a full complement of heats and a 20-lap feature slated.
