Racing hasn't previously been a menu item, but it's now sounding like a recipe for a winning combination. Adam Welch, as well as Caraway Speedway, has confirmed that he will make his 2006 return driving
in the street-stock division. Adam's familiar #71 will be displayed on Welch Racing's latest addition, a '75 camaro.

in my fleet, but I think its gonna be the best one. The car has a blank sheet as far as its history, but I don't think
the sheet will stay blank for long. We have been working all winter on the car and it will be ready for the 1st race in June.
Ever since I started, it has always been a dream of mine to run the street stock division. I feel it is one of the
most challenging divisons at Caraway, but I am up for the challenge. I'm counting down the days, hours, minutes, and
seconds until that 1st race. I will post some pics of the new car as soon as they are available. Thanks for reading

Adam Welch ready to Roll the Dice
on May 6th
(PRESS RELEASE 4-20-05)
No this is not a game of craps but a game of racing, after two rigorous enduro starts, with subpar preformances, Adam
looks to dive in head first on May 6th. The car had been checked, the paint is dry and the familiar #71 black Oldsmobile
in ready to hit the track. A good finish would go a long way in validating a enduro career, that so far has been
long on promise and short on success.
Prerace Quotes from Adam:
"I am definitely gonna throw everything I have at them. What
do I have to lose? I wanna go out there and make a statement, show everybody what we can do. We have had two not
so good races, but we are like a Timex, we take a beating but keep on ticking. We are due for a good
run, I have raced numerous races at Caraway and I could drive there with my eyes closed, but don't worry I won't.
With all that said I am gonna leave it like this, talk is cheap so I am gonna do my talking on the asphalt. But don't

Finish
(Press Release 12-6-04)
If it wasn't for bad luck, this team would not have any luck. As once again lighting strikes
and forces and early exit on lap 81 in the 100 lap v8 Enduro main event. It wasn't any of the other 42 competitors
that got in the way, but a part failure that ended the day early.
Postrace Quotes
From Adam:
"As
I was sitting in the car on pitroad, with the hood up and the crew scavenging all over it searching for the culprit,
I was wondering if there was anything else that could go wrong. On lap 81 a 5 cent keeper that controls the fuel to
the car fell off and kept us from finishing the race. I started 4th and fell back several spots, but the car was coming around.
We had avoided some big wrecks and got caught up in a few small ones, but I was scratching and clawing back until all that
happened. Hopefully we have burried all the bad luck and we'll come out next year swinging. I am still putting all the
finishing touches on next years plans, but we hope to run all the v8 enduro races and who knows you might catch me in a 4cyl
enduro too. Thanks to all my friends who came out and showed there support. And last not but not least I want to thank
Howard Plumbing for helping me out for this race and look forward to working with great and established company again. I realize
this year was just a building block for great things to come and I can't wait for next year, because it should be big and
when I say big its BIG!!! I hope everybody has a Happy and safe Holidays, check back here for updates and next year's schedule."

let go on lap 22 resulting in a DNF. It was the result of a oil leak and heating problem. It was my and my team's intention
to complete and finish the race on high note. As of now I don't know what the future holds, but the tenative plan is to be
back in action in November. I am really focused on putting the #71 Olds in Victory lane.

beginning. You have not seen the last of Adam Welch. Stay tuned! There should be an update soon and there are bigger and better

"It
was a great run for me and the entire Adam Welch racing team.. Being able to get threw the BIG ONE with the fenders still
on was just incredible.. With Crew chief Lee Welch calling the shots from the pits making great calls all day..We will take
the 4th come back and try to get them next time... To all my fans I would like to tip my hat and say thanks for your support...
See you soon in Victory lane..."
