The first event of the evening had the Coca Cola Street Stocks competing for 50 laps and the fans were going wild … At the drop of the green it was Wayne Shell #1 at the point for the first 10 laps. Next it was veteran J.C. Cleckler #5 in the top spot for the next 5 laps. #6 Charles Davis was the next to grab the point position and held it for 2 laps when J.C. Cleckler #5 Made his move to the lead but #6 Charles Davis was having no part of that and took the lead on lap 26. It looked like the #6 had his 4th win of the 2019 season but the car lost power on the backstretch and slowed.
