Erica Enders came to Pomona to hurt some feelings. She led the Pro Stock sheet after the first session with a 6.528-second pass, leading 2017 champ Bo Butner by .002-second. Both K.B. Racing and Elite Motorsports posted solid numbers, with Jeg Coughlin Jr. (6.544) and Jason Line (6.549) taking the Mt. Rushmore spots behind Enders and Butner. 

Don’t count out Rodger Brogdon, either, as the not-so-newcomer ran a 6.561 right off the trailer. Fellow first-time-long-time runners Shane Tucker and Jeffrey Isbell made respectable runs they’ll hope to improve upon in the second session. Matt Hartford, Joey Grose, and Val Smeland all failed to make it to the end of the quarter-mile under power. So, we’ll call that a work in progress.
