Mike Edwards continues to prove he has the stoutest engines among the Pro Stock contingent. Edwards turned in back to back 6.599 and 6.597-second runs in the two qualifying sessions for the O'Reilly Super Start Batteries NHRA Fall Nationals at the Texas Motorplex.

Edwards picked up the maximum qualifying points, six, while his competition, led by Jason Line and Jegs Coughlin picked up the dregs.

“The conditions are good enough to run 50's,” said Edwards. “I think the track was real tricky the first run. Tonight, we go a little bit more weather in here as far as humidity and it really affects these aspirated engines. That might have slowed some of us down a little bit.”

Quicker than the remainder of the field, Edwards was certain he left a few hundredths still sitting on the table because of weather and track conditions.

“We actually went pretty hard left (second round). I feel like for the et we got, we ran pretty good. I think we could have run a little bit better.”

Edwards believes conditions Saturday morning might bring about even quicker laps.
