Gaige Herrera took command on what is a huge weekend in Pro Stock Motorcycle for Herrera and the reigning world champion, Richard Gadson, making the quickest run in each session, including a 6.673 at 201.76 on his RevZilla/Motul/Vances & Hines Suzuki to take the top spot at this weekend’s In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals.
He gained two points on Gadson on Friday, but the big showdown will take place in the opening session on Saturday, when Herrera and Gadson will face off in the final round of the postponed Las Vegas final.
It’s Herrera versus Gadson, and Herrera can pull 20 points closer to the points leader with a victory over his teammate. They were the top two bikes on Friday in Pomona and an epic showdown awaits.
“It’s definitely an ideal start for sure to go out there and run 6.67 on both passes and get the bonus points. Plus, Richard [Gadson] and I both went 1.01 to the 60-foot in Q2, so that was pretty unique. Mother Nature is going to mess with us this weekend, and it wouldn’t be Pomona if we didn’t have some rain. I feel very good this weekend.”
Gadson is currently qualified second with a 6.713 at 200.00 and Matt Smith is third after going 6.750 at 201.28.
Qualifying continues at 11:30 a.m. PT on Saturday at the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip.
