Frenchy Tops Again


Brad "Frenchy" Bennington closed out the winter season Friday night at The Cave in style, taking the win and topping the field of 14. Also, setting fast time at 2.390 set him on the pole for Heat #1. Heat winners for the night were Bennington, JP Welsh, and Joe Shiflett. Winners in the Mains for the night were Matt Williamson in the C-Main and Mike Parrill, Sr. winning the B, taking Tyler Williamson and Mike Parrill, Jr. along to the feature.


The feature started in true Cave fashion with 4 lead changes in the first four laps until Frenchy would take control on Lap 4. Parrill, Sr. got around him on Lap 52 to lead the next 31 laps until Frenchy again regained the lead on Lap 83 and led to the checkers.


Finishing order: Bennington, 2nd Tyler Williamson, 3rd JP Welsh, 4th Mike Parrill, Sr., 5th Mike Parrill, Jr., and 6th Joe Shiflett. Lap leaders were: Welsh, Lap 1; Bennington, Lap 2; Welsh, Lap 3, Bennington, Laps 4-51; Parrill, Sr., Laps 52-82; Bennington, Lap 83 to the finish.


Mike Parrill, Sr.'s fourth place finish along with JP Welsh's third, was enough to give Parrill the Points Championship over JP by a narrow 11 points.
