Before they push the pedal to the metal, the top sprint car drivers in the country will play some kickball to fight children's cancer.

Williams Grove Speedway is hosting a "Kick-it for Cancer" kickball tournament on Friday (September 28) at 12:30 p.m. at Upper Allen Township Park (Fisher Park), 1978 Fisher Road, Mechanicsburg.

The Kick-It charity raises money for juvenile cancer research. The Grove's original goal was to raise $4000. Pledges have now reached nearly $8000.

I've been told 12 teams have signed up and at least two dozen drivers are participating, including Cody Darrah and Paul McMahan.
