Karen Stoffer rode Jerry Savoie’s Suzuki to the top spot during Friday’s Pro Stock Motorcycle qualifying. Stoffer, who joined Savoie’s White Alligator team this season, rode to a 6.864 to take the early lead. Stoffer is riding the same bike that LE Tonglet previously rode to a win at the 2016 zMax Four-Wide event.

Angie Smith and Eddie Krawiec also found the 6.8s to earn qualifying bonus points, while second-year pro Kelly Clontz made one of the best runs of her career with a 6.902 to land in the No. 4 spot.

The riders who have not qualified yet include world champs Matt Smith and Hector Arana Sr., who both shut off early. There are 19 riders competing for one of the 16 available spots.
