MECHANICSBURG, Pa. – A persistent drizzle forced Williams Grove Speedway officials to pull the plug on Friday’s racing program, but not before gates were opened with cars and fans filing into the track.

When the drizzle persisted past 6 p.m., officials had to make the call after morning showers coupled with the day-long dampness and the ongoing drizzle proved too much to overcome during efforts to iron in the surface.

Williams Grove Speedway will return to action next Friday, April 16 at 7:30 p.m. when the oval hosts the All Stars Circuit of Champions for the Tommy Hinnershitz Classic. The 358 sprint car class will also be in action.
