By Rick Green

MADISON, Ill. - Notes from final, round 4 qualifying in Pro Stock Bike at the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series, Seventh annual Sears Craftsman NHRA Nationals 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: Michael Lozano Runs 7.746/166.68, Now #31; Best prior run: 7.723/166.91, Was #31
Right Lane: Kurt Matte No Time, Now #32; Best prior run: 7.992/150.41, Was #32

Current weather conditions: 83 degrees, 45 percent relative humidity, the barometer 29.99 inches, with a track temperature of 96 degrees.

Matte's bike just died as soon as he let the clutch out. No help for Lozano and he will not make the show.

Left Lane: Wesley Wells Runs 7.411/179.68, Now #28; Best prior run: 7.406/178.50, Was #27
Right Lane: Redell Harris Runs 7.384/178.07, Now #26; Best prior run: 7.495/181.52, Was #30

Harris with his best pass of the weekend, but it will not be enough to get in the show.

Left Lane: Cary Phalen Runs 7.443/179.16, Now #27; Best prior run: 7.388/180.07, Was #27
Right Lane: Keith Freeman Runs 7.438/185.31, Now #30; Best prior run: 7.416/183.54, Was #30

Both of these guys go in the wrong direction here.

Left Lane: Brian DeLong Runs 7.320/179.90, Now #21; Best prior run: 7.336/183.64, Was #21
Right Lane: Greg Underdahl Runs 7.499/179.35, Now #29; Best prior run: 7.410/182.43, Was #29

DeLong with his best pass of the weekend, but will not make the show.

Left Lane: David Feazell Runs 7.344/178.14, Now #19; Best prior run: 7.298/171.58, Was #19
Right Lane: Lloyd Straus Runs 7.409/184.27, Now #25; Best prior run: 7.377/177.44, Was #25

Feazell with a good launch, but doesn't have the power on the top end.

Left Lane: Tommy Grimes Jr Runs 7.261/181.23, Now #16; Best prior run: 7.285/183.07, Was #18
Right Lane: Joe DeSantis Runs 7.403/179.85, Now #24; Best prior run: 7.364/180.28, Was #24

Grimes straight down the groove to get into the show for now and that bumped out Phillips.

Left Lane: Fred Camarena Runs 7.271/180.84, Now #18; Best prior run: 7.272/183.49, Was #18
Right Lane: Sam Hurwitz Runs 7.336/180.33, Now #22; Best prior run: 7.350/175.25, Was #22

Both riders with their quickest passes of the weekend, but still come up short.

Left Lane: Michael Phillips Runs 7.297/179.44, Now #17; Best prior run: 7.266/183.15, Was #17
Right Lane: Chris Reuter Runs 7.335/181.96, Now #20; Best prior run: 7.316/180.69, Was #20

Phillips who just got bumped out can't and does not get back in.

Right Lane: Blaine Hale Runs 7.317/186.92, Now #15; Best prior run: 7.260/185.03, Was #15

Johnson with another consistent pass here.

Right Lane: Angelle Savoie Runs 7.214/179.35, Now #4; Best prior run: 7.151/183.22, Was #4

Savoie with the quicker 60 foot time, but Hines with his best pass of the weekend to move into the number six spot.

Right Lane: Karen Stoffer Runs 7.186/184.45, Now #2; Best prior run: 7.144/186.20, Was #2

Another good pass for Stoffer.
