MADISON, Ill. - Notes from round 2 qualifying in Pro Stock Motorcycle at the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series, 11th annual NHRA Midwest 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:

1:52 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 71 degrees, relative humidity 34 percent, barometer 30.14 inches, adjusted altitude 1,209 feet, track temperature 110 degrees.
This is Herrera's first pass this weekend. He makes a clean pass and gets in the show in the 14th spot.

Right Lane: Jianna Evaristo Runs 11.443/67.84, Now #12; Best prior run: 6.917/172.32, Was #12
Phillips gets about 100 feet out, sounds like the bike did not go into the next gear, and he coasted the rest of the way. Evaristo had problems and was out of power early.

Oehler was trailing smoke from the exhaust all the way through the run. He improves and moves up to the ninth spot. Stoffer makes a clean, straight pass but drops a spot in the order as Oehler goes around her.
