Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals Super Stock winner Kevin Riner
The father-son duo of Bill and Drew Skillman advanced to the semifinals of Super Stock, but Bill dropped a close battle against Pat Clifford and Drew fouled by three-thousandths against Kevin Riner. In a battle of first-time finalists, Riner came out on top when he drove his SS/JA Camaro to a slowing 11.014 on his 10.87 dial after Clifford ran into a problem and ran six-tenths off his dial. Earlier in eliminations, Riner defeated Irvin Johns, Richard Kay, and Ed Longhany.
