BAYTOWN, Texas - Notes from round 4 qualifying in Pro Stock Bike at the 2nd Annual Matco Tools Supernationals, listing lane, rider name, elapsed time/top speed this round, position in order following run, (best prior elapsed time/speed, and position in order prior to run): Left Lane: Craig Treble Runs 7.580/179.21 Now #14, (Best prior run: 7.577/175.23 Was #14) Right Lane: Matt Hines Runs 7.261/181.12 Now # 1, (Best prior run: 7.282/184.72 Was # 1) 3:16 PM Travis Tritt finally the celebrity race run during the prerace activities, now it's the last chance round of qualifying for the Matco Tools SuperNationals. Hines is the 1998 champ. Nuff said about that. Left Lane: Joe DeSantis Runs 7.654/175.88 Now #16, (Best prior run: 7.695/177.47 Was #16) Right Lane: Horace Wright Runs 25.543/ 23.78 Now #19, (Best prior run: 7.807/172.51 Was #19) Wright missed the 2-3 shift, then looked back to see if any parts were on the track.... Left Lane: Steve Johnson Runs 7.464/181.70 Now # 7, (Best prior run: 7.407/186.91 Was # 7) Right Lane: Blaine Hale Runs 8.198/167.78 Now #20, (Best prior run: 8.338/161.43 Was #21) Joe DeSantis is currently on the bubble at a 7.654. Hale about got pitched off at the start, it's surprising he stayed with it. Left Lane: Fumiki Tanaka Runs 7.739/177.30 Now #18, (Best prior run: 7.765/178.35 Was #18) Right Lane: Chris Reuter No Time Now #17, (Best prior run: 7.699/176.64 Was #17) Reuter broke at the start, Tanaka improves but not enough to bump DeSantis. Left Lane: Geno Scali Runs 7.603/173.37 Now #15, (Best prior run: 7.642/177.23 Was #15) Right Lane: Jorge Mendoza No Time Now #21, (Best prior run: 8.213/154.82 Was #21) Jorge got out of shape early, then drifted left and took out the 660-foot cones. Left Lane: David Schultz Runs 7.422/182.66 Now # 5, (Best prior run: 7.359/180.32 Was # 5) Right Lane: Tony Mullen Runs 7.458/183.56 Now # 4, (Best prior run: 7.349/185.95 Was # 4) Angelle is up in the booth providing color commentary for this round of qualifying. Joe DeSantis is still on the bubble with a 7.654. Mullen spun the tire hard at the start, he recovered nicely here. Left Lane: Greg Underdahl Runs 7.422/180.97 Now # 9, (Best prior run: 7.467/181.48 Was # 9) Right Lane: Hector Arana No Time Now #13, (Best prior run: 7.526/178.25 Was #13) Arana's bike made a hard move towards the right, and that was it, something going wrong in the drivetrain almost immediately. Left Lane: Brian Ayers Runs 7.495/181.05 Now #11, (Best prior run: 7.500/182.55 Was #11) Right Lane: Ron Ayers Runs 7.447/179.92 Now # 8, (Best prior run: 7.417/177.51 Was # 8) Left Lane: Gary Tonglet Runs 7.497/177.97 Now #10, (Best prior run: 7.472/179.06 Was #10) Right Lane: Antron Brown Runs 7.377/178.39 Now # 6, (Best prior run: 7.399/179.28 Was # 6) Right Lane: Larry Cook Runs 7.470/173.51 Now #10, (Best prior run: 7.503/179.35 Was #12) Cook tucks almost immediately, and picks up two spots. Right Lane: John Smith Runs 7.348/183.89 Now # 3, (Best prior run: 7.335/188.04 Was # 3) John Smith is the last bike of the round, so Joe DeSantis survived a whole round on the bubble. That's it for Pro Stock Bike qualifying, so Matt Hines is now the OFFICIAL 1998 Pro Stock Bike Champion.
