NEARLY $40,000 WILL BE ON THE LINE FRIDAY night, August 20, when Williams Grove Speedway presents the Jack Gunn Memorial Triple 20s for sprint cars.
Qualifying is scheduled to begin at 7:45.
 Time trials will lock the twelve fastest cars into the first feature. The fastest qualifier will draw for feature inversion. The remainder of the field will then be split into two ten-lap qualifying races and the top five in each will transfer to the first feature.
 The final two spots will then go to the highest two drivers in the Cindy Rowe Auto Glass point standings, who attempted to qualify, but did not transfer to the feature.
 The second feature will be lined up according to the first feature finish. The winning driver will draw for inversion. Feature number three will be lined up according to total dollars earned in the first two races. The top six money winners will be
inverted.
 Friday night's first two 20-lap features will pay $2500 to win. The third feature will pay $5000, so a sweep of the triple 20s will be worth $10,000.
 Any driver who starts all three features will take home at least $500.
 No driver has ever swept a Triple 20s program. In 2001 Todd Shaffer won the first two features, but Rahmer won the third.
 In 2002 Rahmer won the first two, but Lance Dewease prevented a sweep by winning the third.
 Since the format was instituted in 1999 the Triple 20s has produced three different winners in three different years. Jeff Shepard, Rahmer and Don Kreitz, Jr. won in `99. Rahmer, Sean Michael and Shaffer scored in 2000 and Esh, Rahmer and Greg Hodnett were victorious last year.
 The Triple 20s is named to honor the memory of the late Jack Gunn, a former Williams Grove promoter, who was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 1990 on the first ballot.
  THE MID-ATLANTIC CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES returns to the Hagerstown Speedway for the 57th Anniversary Classic. The 57-lap main event for the MACS late models will pay $10,000 to the winner featuring a $50,000 total purse with $700 to start. Joining the late models will be the Hoosier Tires Mid-Atlantic late model sportsman in their biggest race of the year. The 30-lap double point feature will pay $1,000 to the winner with $100 to take the green.

Mother Nature took one win each in 2000 and 2001. The Series has had an average car count of 47 cars per event.
Robbie Blair leads the MACS drivers in Championship Series points coming into Hagerstown. Chuck Harper, Keith Barbara, Rod Conley and Denny Chamberlain round out the top five.

 BIG DIAMOND RACEWAY has Doug Hoffman as the big winner this season. He has won 8 features including one of the two 25-lappers for Modifieds on Friday night. His younger brother Keith won the second feature. Doug is sitting on top of the world in the chase for the track title and, even more important, is the fact that he is on top in the NASCAR Northeast Regional point chase and if he wins that he will earn close to $50,000. If he gets the National title, which is very possible, he will earn somewhere in the area of $150,000.
 Keith Hoffman’s win was the fourth of the season for him. That makes 12 feature wins between the two.
 Andy Fayash, Jr. won the 20-lapper for Sportsman-Modifieds and Kevin Holland got his 7th Roadrunner feature win of the season.
 NASCAR Modifieds, Sportsman-Modifieds and Roadrunners are in action on Friday night at 8 p.m. at the Minersville, PA oval.
 CLINTON COUNTY SPEEDWAY had Ronnie Rough winning his car wingless sprint car event taking the 25 lap main event for sprint cars. Dale Schweikart won the topless late model feature while Art Stephans took honors in the Pro Stocks and Brad Myers was tops in the 4-Cylinder Enduro event.
 Interesting to note that only nine sprint cars started the sprint car main event.
