It was the fourth race on three Saturday’s already this year for the street stocks at 4-17 Southern Speedway in Punta Gorda. An early series of races where owners Joe and Janet Gentry offered a $500 bonus to anyone who could win 3 of the 4 races. With Danny’s win on Saturday he was the third winner which means no one was able to step up and collect the bonus. Chris Huntoon took advantage of the pill draw and had his number 30 out front for the first 55 laps until the rear end decided to let go. When the race was over and dust had settled Caylor found his #7 Street stock the winier for the night. Full results of the streets stocks are below.
