Tis The Season

You know we at The Cave have as much fun hosting these races as the participants, but it makes our jobs easier when we have racers and friends like these, so we would like to take this time to thank Steve and Kristy Welsh for the keychains, Betty Williamson for the ham biscuits, Linda for the Black Jack, and Dwain Welsh and Budd Reitnauer for The Official Pace Car at The Cave Speedway, handpainted by Steve Smith of Steve Smith Replicas. Thanks to everybody for a great show, have a safe and very Merry Christmas and we'll see you all on January 3rd for The Earl Grimm Memorial presented by WRK. The Cave Speedway Staff

Santa Claus 100 Pure Stocks

Dwain Welsh of Winchester Virginia picked up the win in the pure stock show over Frenchy Bennington, Greg Hoard, Mike Parrill Sr, Tyler Williamson, and Possum. Heat winners for the night were Welsh himself and Possum picking up his first checkered flag at The Cave. The B main field would be filled out with C main winner Mike Parrill Sr who would waste little time finishing second to Greg Hoard. Finishing third in the B main was Frenchy Bennington and Tyler Williamson taking home fourth.

Santa Claus 100

Tyler Williamson of Luray Virginia took the win in the 4th Annual Santa Claus 100 saturday night for his 2nd win in a row at The Cave topping a strong 15 car field. Heat winners for the night were Williamson, Frenchy Bennington, and Jason Lineweaver. Greg Hoard would outlast Mark Smith in the D main to advance to the C main only to have himself and Rick Williamson edged by mere feet by Andrew Tyson. But of course there's no rest for the weary at The Cave as Tyson would soon be thrown straight to the B main where Joe Shifflett, Mike Parrill Sr, and Matt Williamson would punch their tickets for the Big Show. The feature would have its share of lead changes with Joe Shifflett taking the lead going into the final segment. However the rotation would be unkind to Shifflett, sending him to the top groove with Tyelr being sent to the low side, but that didnt mean an easy time for Williamson as he would have to fend off challenges from every other driver with 6th place finishing only 4 laps behind him. The final rundown for The Santa Claus 100-Tyler Williamson, Joe Shifflett, Matt Williamson, Jason Lineweaver, Frenchy Bennington, Mike Parrill Sr.

Reminder

Just a reminder to all The Cave regulars, The Santa Claus 100 will be run on Saturday December 20 at 7:30
