Parrill Wins Number Three



Mike Parrill, Sr. battled a slick track, a poor qualifying run, and fifteen other cars to take his third win of the year at The Cave Friday night. After qualifying 11th and starting fourth in his heat he would get rolling and edge out a determined Frenchy by a car length for the win. Other heat winners were JP Welsh in the first heat over fast qualifier Joe Shifflett and Alan Sagi. Matt Williamson won the D-Main and C-Main and finished 3rd behind Frenchy and Joe Shifflett in the B-Main to gain the last spot in the feature. With very few cautions to slow the pace the action was fast and furious with JP jumping out to lead the first 47 laps until Parrill, Sr. would make a pass for the lead. Parrill, Sr. held the lead until Lap 97 when JP would regain the lead. Parrill, Sr. again took over the front spot one lap later on Lap 98 and held on for the win. The final run down was: 1st - Mike Parrill, Sr.; 2nd - JP Welsh; 3rd - Frenchy; 4th - Alan Sagi; 5th - Matt Williamson; and 6th - Joe Shifflett. Next up at The Cave will be the Santa Claus 100 trophy race. This is a Late Model event only and the Pure Stocks will have the night off.
