Sweetheart results



The first “Sweetheart 50” is in the books and was a success. Vickie took the victory at The Cave Speedway last evening. She gave up her scorekeeper position for the evening to compete. Six ladies showed up to compete, which made a full field.
As the ladies started hot laps, you could see confidence building as they got aggressive on the track. When qualifying came around Tonya was on top with a lap of 2.75 seconds, which actually was a pretty good lap time! Each segment consisted of 18 laps, with a break for the ladies after the fourth segment. Going into the feature there were several lead changes between Tonya and Vickie. In the third segment Tracie joined and there was a three way tie for the lead. Going into the fourth segment Tonya and Vickie would battle again for the lead, With lead swaps through the segment. The fifth segment will find Vickie pulling ahead by several laps. The final segment Vickie took no mercy as she pulled ahead with a comfortable lead on the field, while second place through fourth place battled it out. Adrienne was coming on as she clawed her way up to second place. The racing was close all night, going into the final segment first place to fourth was separated by only 4 laps!
It was an interesting night with the ladies, there were cars “twirling around” which
Was a new expression for the cars at “The Cave.”
Cars were over the wall, and one for the first time ending up in the drivers stand.
All in all a great night for the ladies! Thanks for your participation.
