Bobby Cain

Robert "Bobby" Cain (January 14, 1931 – May 17, 2012) was a pioneering American stock car and sprint car racing driver. Raised in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country he and his cars were known to racing fans as the "Quaker Shaker".

Racing career
Bobby Cain began racing Midgets near his home in Pennsylvania at age 16. He moved to stock cars, competing at Lincoln, Reading, Susquehanna, and Williams Grove Speedways. A move to Key West, Florida found him racing at Hialeah Speedway. By 1955, Cain had relocated to New York, becoming a regular at Fulton and Lancaster Speedways, while winning track championships at the Maple Grove (Waterloo) and Weedsport Speedways.

In 1983 Cain turned his attention exclusively to the Empire Super Sprint Series with just his wife Linda as his pit crew. He proved again to be a winner, contending at the renown tracks of the northeast, including Brewerton Speedway NY, Devil's Bowl Speedway VT, Lernerville Speedway PA, Mercer Speedway PA,  Merrittville Speedway ON, Sportsman Speedway PA, and Tri-City Speedway PA.

Bobby Cain was still racing at age 74 when he was inducted into the Northeast Dirt Modified Hall of Fame in 2005.
