Bill Holland

Willard Saulsbury Holland (December 18, 1907 – May 20, 1984) was an American racing driver from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

[1] On July 20, 1946, Holland won the first race at Selinsgrove Speedway in an American Automobile Association-sanctioned event.

Moore saw what was happening out on the track and hung out a pit board ordering both drivers to hold their respective positions to the finish.

But with eight laps to go, Rose suffered a magneto failure and Holland cruised to the victory.

Holland and his wife Myra ran skating rinks in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

[1] He had remained active throughout his life and would regularly ride a bicycle for 50 miles per day until a year before his death.

[6] The race was 74 laps long as it was the 74th year after Holland's victory opened the track.
