Super Late Model 100 winner Keith Lilley<\/p><\/div>\n

Mini Stock was the first class to take to the track at the Punta Gorda Speedway on May 7th<\/sup> were a hot afternoon of practice took it’s tool on some motors and had a couple drivers watching from the pit side.<\/p>\n

Chris Zimmerman of Largo jumped out to an early lead and with only one caution on lap six were the elder Zimmerman went a little high sending the 55 of James Pate into the back stretch wall and retiring to the infield for the remainder of the race. After the restart it Chris Zimmerman in the winner’s circle and his father Tom Zimmerman was right behind him and Dustin Perez third.<\/p>\n

Pro 4 class was up next with a twenty five lap feature that was caution free saw the battle was between Ryan Collver of Ft. Myers and Cody Allen of Lehigh. Collver took the lead early while Allen chased him down until the half way mark when Allen took the lead and Collver chased him to the finish. The finish would be Cody Allen first and Ryan Collver second and Phillip Ellis of North Port would come in third.<\/p>\n

T.Q. Midgets held their 3rd<\/sup> annual \u201cFAST\u201d Freddie Stutz memorial race and ran 26 laps in honor of Freddie’s number 6. Freddie’s granddaughter Hunter was the honorary started of the race as she stood in the flag stand and waved the green flag for the 26 laps event. The 7 of Jamie Barnum took the early lead but it would be the 30 of Mike Belusar of Punta Gorda cross the line first with Chris Gimmler second and Barnum would settle for third.<\/p>\n

The always exciting Road Warriors were up next and with Derrick Horton at the front of the pack for the start, jumped out to the lead and held off several challengers. Hortons car seem to be two lanes wide while attempts from the A1 of Jessie Gargus, the 80 of Richard Nelson and finial the 2 of Brian Harbin. While Harbin out of Bartow started the feature in the rear, he made his way up to Horton with five to go. It was lap twenty five when the checker and caution was out at the same time when a move bump from Ortega in the 9 sent the 80 of Nelson around fighting for that fourth spot finish. Horton was the winner with Harbin second and Randy Kile third and Nelson would be given his running spot of fourth and Ortega would take up the rear.<\/p>\n

Twenty One Super Late Models took to the track for the main event of the night for 100 laps of side by side racing action. Kieth Lilley out of Lakeland was fast qualifier in his 87 machine and had the luck of the drawn also with pulling for the stating position of the outside pole. Lilley jumped out to the lead and lead all 100 laps while several battles were going on behind him trying to race for position. Kevin Macy also from Bartow passed Dustin Dunn on lap sixteen to take over second while the cars behind them were making there way through the field until the third caution came out on lap forty one that saw veteran driver Dave Pletcher in the backstretch wall. After several cars making pit stops during the caution that was taking Pletcher off of the track on the hook it was time to line back up and go racing. Macy had a fast car and was going to give Lilley a challenge but after five laps of green Macy would retire to the pits with mechanical problems giving that second spot back to Dustin Dunn of Tallahassee but everyone\u2019s eyes were set on the 5 car of Steve Gill. Steve Gill was on a mission and driving the wheels off the car while trying to keep it going forward with all the banging he was getting from behind and Gill made it to second and reeling in the leader. Ten laps to go when Gill dove into turn one so hard he lost control and would be sent to the rear for bringing out the caution and giving that second spot over to Anderson. The final lap of the race saw Keith Lilley bring home the Trophy with Wayne Anderson second Dustin Dunn hung on for third and \u201cHard Charger\u201d L.B. Skaggs would finish fourth while Dylan Bigley put the moves on his dad Billy Bigley Jr to finish in front him at the line.<\/p>\n

Super Stock saw the battle between Shane Leonard and Bobby Fischer continue as Leonard out of Cape Coral jumps out to the lead while Fischer out of Naples is chasing down that first place finish. Again it would be Leonard as the first place finisher and Fischer would have to settle for second again while the 88 of Jimmy Meiser would come home third.<\/p>\n

The last race of the night was the Fab 4 for twenty laps that came down to a photo finish for the second spot. Zac Campilonga led the entire race while a battle for the second spot was going on. When the checkers flew it was Campilonga crossing the stripe with a nice lead while the 98 of Fred Tolano and the 1 of Brittney Barr crossed the line almost even for the second spot. Tolano had half a bumper showing over the line first and given the second spot while Barr was third.<\/p>\n
