It was a Saturday night that SouthWest Florida had a lot of Events going on along with a Nascar race and dark clouds rolling in over the Speedway and it did not look good. The loyal Punta Gorda Speedway fans came out to watch some of the best short track racing around and they were not disappointed. The sky cleared and the Late Models Sportsman pulled onto the track for their qualifying that saw the 13 of Aaron Williamson set fast time with 16.074.
The parade lap started the night off and joining the vehicals was the Royal Order of Ponce de Leon Conquistadors ship (the Palencia) that was filled with the kids who got to ride around the track. (more…)
Who would expect the crowd that was on hand to witness the return of TBARA Winged Sprint cars, Easter Egg hunt, Bike races and the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition. From the drop of the first Green flag till the last checkers flew the Punta Gorda Speedway sure had a little bit of something going on for everyone. 
Before the races even started the fans had to be parked so far away because the main parking lot was full, that speedway owner Kevin Williams was on a golf cart shutteling fans to the front gate with two other carts running with curb service. (more…)

Punta Gorda Speedway would like to thank Amanda Furguson for bringing two race cars to the track, one to have on display at the front entrance for RAD (Race against Drugs) night. Amanda was on hand at the front of the speedway to sign autographs and hand out posters, race cars toys and sticker to all the kids entering the speedway. It looked as if the rain was staying well north of us all day and with practice all done with it was time to go racing. After qualifying which Darryl Shelnut from Lake City set fast time the heat races got underway and the first feature of the night was the Mini Stock. Kyle Rice of Labelle brought home the win in his number seven machine, with Mike Karrivan second and John Pummell Jr. third. (more…)

It was a great Day to be outside and Punta Gorda Speedway is the place to be on Saturday nights that is affordable for the entire family. A full night of racing action got underway after all the qualifying was done and the Rookie Trucks took to the track first for their fifteen lap feature. With no heat race for the rookies, they were ready to get after it when the green flag dropped. Thirteen year old Chad Chastain got the jump on Corey Bigley at the start and seem to have things wrapped up until Bigley got settled into the truck. (more…)
James Dellea from Port Charlotte dominated the Cowboy CCadillacclass last year at the Punta Gorda Speedway. Towards the end of the season Dellea decided to swap rides with Stuart Vandevender who was running the Sportsman class with not as much luck. Dellea and Vandevender put their finishing touches on the new rides and off they went racing, Vandevender started right off where Dellea ended in the trucks and that was the winners circle week after week. Dellea had some adjusting to do to the new Street Stock and it paid off sat night as he came home the winner in a very competitive class that is heating up. Dellea put his
son James Dellea III in a 4 cylinder last year and after improving his talent behind the wheel every week, held off some strong front runners to make his first trip to the winners circle. (more…)
After three weeks off of racing, it took a while to get the fans parked and settled into the Punta Gorda Speedway that was packed from one end to the other. After qualifying and heat races, the first feature took to the track, it was the Rookie Trucks for fifteen laps. Thirteen year old Chad Chastain from Alva sat on the pole and ran start to finish as the leader but had a hard charging Corey Bigley on his bumper till the end. Bigley usually runs the pro 4 class but got to run the 00 truck of Whitney Poole and really gave Chastain a battle to the end. It was Chastain that got to celebrate in the winners circle with Bigley coming in a hard fought second place and Kyle Case third. (more…)
