Williams Grove Speedway is a half-mile dirt track located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. It is one of the most famous sprint car tracks in the United States, and has hosted some of the biggest names in racing, including Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, and Kasey Kahne.

The track was built in 1939 by brothers Earl and Harry Wingard. It was originally known as the Mechanicsburg Fairgrounds Speedway, but was renamed Williams Grove Speedway in 1947. The track has been owned by the Hughes family since 1956.

Williams Grove Speedway is known for its high speeds and close racing. The track's banked clay surface allows for speeds of up to 120 miles per hour. The racing is also very close, with drivers often battling wheel-to-wheel for the lead.

Williams Grove Speedway is a popular destination for racing fans from all over the country. The track hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, the All-Star Circuit of Champions, ULMS Late Models, United States Auto Club, and the United Racing Club.

The track is also home to the Williams Grove Speedway Museum, which features exhibits on the history of the track and its racing legends.

They strive to be family oriented and host School's Out night, the Math Fact challenge, Fan Appreciation Night and they support many local and national charities. Williams Grove Speedway is a must-see!
