A strong 18 car Street Stock field registered to compete in this years Frank Stromquist Memorial 57 lap event. Frank was a fixture in the speedway pit area, both as a driver and crew member. Frank was taken too early from this world, and this annual race pays tribute to his memory. Street Stocks got the night started off with time trial qualifying, each driver would take the fastest of two timed laps to help set the starting grid for the 57 lap feature. After everyone took their best shot, Kyle Peters (53) would find the fast way around with a solid lap of 15.99 seconds. John Chance (61) would follow in 2nd with a lap of 16.03, and Joe Piazza (99) 3rd with a lap of 16.14. After the fan determined invert of 6 rows, the top qualifiers would find themselves starting 11th and 12th on the grid. The 6 row invert would put J D Goff (16) and Kenny May (10) on the front row for the start of the feature. May would jump to the early lead with Leonard Arnold (60) 2nd, and Bubba Martone (98) in 3rd. Martone would move by Arnold for 2nd, and bring Tim Alexander (63) with him to 3rd. Behind them the battle was raging with the fast qualifiers racing their way to the front of the field. 
September 29, 2012 – Tampa, FL – Four divisions were on hand tonight. It was a full moon on the horizon as the Late Models, V8 Warriors, Motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers and the Old Time Mods were on hand tonight.
After 3 months of no racing at Punta Gorda Speedway, at least mother nature gave a helping hand and spared the track of rain for a couple days so everything could dry out. The drivers, crews and fans where all ready to get back to the sport they love and support, and it showed as fans lined up waiting to get back to racing. After qualifying, were the heat races, it took some time for everyone to get back in the swing of things, drivers were a little aggressive and had fans stay till the last featured checker flew.
