Chris Fontaine drove the #47 Glenden Enterprises Late Model from a ninth place starting position all the way to a third place finish in the Super Late Model 75 lap event at Full Throttle Speedway in Bradenton, FL on Saturday, May 18.

He won the Hard Charger Award for the third place finish after coming back from a spin during the race.

Fontaine is currently third in track's Super Late Model series points.

CHRIS FONTAINE TO RUN THE #47 GLENDEN ENTERPRISES SUPER LATE MODEL AT FULL THROTTLE SPEEDWAY SATURDAY NIGHT
Chris Fontaine and his race team are preparing the #47 Glenden Enterprises Super Late Model to race in the Super Late Model 75 lap event at Full Throttle Speedway on Saturday, May 18.

Full Throttle Speedway is the new name of Desoto Speedway in Bradenton, FL. 

Fontaine is no stranger to the track.  Since he began racing Late Models and Super Late Models in 2000, Fontaine has collected 8 poles, 5 wins, 28 top five finishes and 47 top 10 finishes out of 69 races he has run there in the AACS, ASASAT and ASA series.

He finished in the top ten in the Desoto Superspeedway All American Challenge Series points race four times with ninth place in 2003, fifth place in 2004, ninth place in 2005 and second place in 2006.

Do you think the track's new pavement will present any challenges?
"From what it looks like on the internet it looks like they took out some of the bumps and characteristics that we felt were an advantage to us, but we will see how it goes on Friday night in our first couple of practices. Desoto is one of my favorite tracks and I can't wait to get there. Everyone here is very excited to go and we will see how it goes," Fontaine said.

Do you plan to race for points in the Super Late Model series at Full Throttle Speedway?
"That wasn't our plan. Originally our plan for this year was to race all over the Southeastern United States. The new car is taking a little longer to get prepared, so we will just have to see where this race leads us, and go race by race," he said.
