Matt Smith reaffirmed his hold on the top spot in Friday’s Pro Stock Motorcycle qualifying with a 6.785 elapsed time during the afternoon session, but the real news came from the speed clocks, which registered a record-setting 201.76 mph top-end charge. Smith’s run came alongside Eddie Krawiec, who also topped 200-mph with a 6.812, 200.17 on his Screamin’ Eagle Harley-Davidson.

Angelle Sampey made another solid run aboard the third Vance & Hines team Harley-Davidson with a 6.820 to back up her earlier 8.854 run. Hector Arana Sr. also made a marked improvement with a 6.847 on his Lucas Oil Buell that is currently good for the No. 6 spot. The Suzuki bikes haven’t been left behind either with Jimmy Underdahl and Jerry Savoie both holding top-half starting spots after two runs.

There was plenty of shuffling in throughout the field which ultimately led to a six-second bump spot with two sessions remaining on Saturday. Steve Johnson is on the provisional bump spot at 6.961 while those who will need to improve on Saturday in order to get into the field include Katie Sullivan, Karen Stoffer, John Hall, and rookie Jianna Salinas.
