The speedway and USAC will have a display of USAC Silver Crown cars on display for race-goers to inspect prior to the start of racing action along with a tribute to the race’s namesake, the winner of the very first race ever held at Selinsgrove Speedway in 1946, Bill Holland of Philadelphia.
Local brewers Spyglass Ridge Winery of Sunbury and Three Beards Brewing Co. of Sunbury will be on display and offering up cool brews and treats to go along with the hot USAC on-track action.
