MECHANICSBURG – The sprint car features were postponed by rain Friday

night at Williams Grove Speedway. Rain hit the track after one lap was

completed in the sprint car feature, which was under red flag

conditions after a frontstretch flip damaged the catch fencing.

Both sprint car features will be completed at a later date. Williams

Grove is off next Friday night, the 11th, due to the Knoxville

Nationals. Racing resumes at the Grove on Friday, Aug. 18.

Tim Wagaman and Cameron Smith won the heat races and shared the front

row for the 25-lap feature.

Smith grabbed the lead over Wagaman and Lucas Wolfe. Smith quickly

opened up a 1.4-second. Billy Dietrich and Kyle Moody followed them.

Point leader Freddie Rahmer, Nash Ely, Danny Dietrich, Devon Borden

and TJ Stutts were racing in the top 10 after one lap was completed.

A bad crash on the frontstretch stopped the race with one lap

completed. Ricky Dieva flipped violently and eventually into the catch

fencing. He was okay, but the race was delayed to repair the fence.

The cars were sent back to the pit area while crews worked on the

fence.

While crews were working on the fence, a rain shower hit the speedway

and postponed the features.

Frankie Herr, Chad Criswell and Preston Lattomus won the 358 sprint

car heat races.

Port Royal Speedway swings into action tonight at 7. The limited late

models are in the spot light with a $3,500 to win main event. The

sprint cars will race for $5,000 to win and the super late models,

$4,000 to win. Racing begins at 7.
