MECHANICSBURG, Pa. — Morgan Hughes, 88, owner/promoter of Williams  Grove Speedway, died Saturday at his home.
He had been at the speedway as recently as Friday evening prior to  the rainout.
Hughes was also the owner of Williams Grove Park, which he operated for many years until his retirement from that business in 2006.
While various promoters had previously run the day-to-day  operations of his speedway, Hughes had taken a more active role in  recent years and was responsible for many improvements, including new  aluminum seats and a new lighting system.
The Hughes family will continue to operate the speedway.  Racing will continue on Friday night, April 18, and for the remainder of the season.
