NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle’s Gaige Herrera already had the track record at World Wide Technology Raceway, but the two-time world champion decided to blow the doors off it to close out qualifying, going a spectacular 6.644 (with a 1.05 60 foot time) at 202.76 mph on his RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines…
Johnny Balls Wins Marathon US 131 Weekend

Bristol Qualifying, 2fast2tasty Wrap-Up
