J&S Classics of Grantville will present the 63rd annual World of Outlaws National Open at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 3-4.
For Sandy Kline, owner of J&S Classics and current car owner for Doug Hammaker, sponsoring the National Open at Williams Grove just comes naturally.
“I have always loved the National Open, and after you win the National Open, when you go to it, it’s a whole different ball game once you’ve earned that win,” Kline said.
Kline and her late husband Jim got their win in the National Open with Greg Hodnett at the wheel of their famed golden No. 22 in 2009.
“You’re going with a whole different attitude because you’ve sat in that Victory Lane. Any time you’ve won an Outlaws race as a Pennsylvania Posse member, you’re doin’ your job,” Kline added.
As a car owner, Kline’s stables did their job a total of eight times with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, all at Williams Grove, with pilots Jason Johnson, Hodnett, and Fred Rahmer as wheel men.
The 63rd annual running of the J&S Classics World of Outlaws National Open at Williams Grove Speedway will offer the Saturday, Oct. 4 winner $75,000 for their 40 laps of work.
And Kline is excited to see it all unfold.
“It’s my whole thing. Most people don’t get this – I’m a woman who absolutely loves sprint car racing! I grew up with racing. I’ve lived it most of my life,” she said.
The two-day J&S Classics National Open will pit the Outlaws pilots against the Pennsylvania Posse Sprint Car stars for an all star match-up.
“I guess you gotta’ give back somewhere along the line. If you have it and you can do it, then you know, help this sport along,” Kline sais of her reasoning behind coming aboard the National Open. “You gotta’ keep Sprint Car interest alive and well. The Pennsylvania Posse against the Outlaws is one of the best competitions.
“So for me there’s nothing better than going to a race. It’s a sweet rivalry between the Outlaws and the Posse. It’s exciting!”
All the excitement of the Williams Grove Speedway J&S Classics World of Outlaws National Open weekend gets underway Friday night, Oct. 3 when round one takes to the track at 7:30 p.m.
