With all the water seeping to the surface of Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park, it was a good time to be a Nitrofish.

Nitrofish-sponsored drag racers Matt Smith (Pro Stock Motorcycle) and Richie Stevens (Pro Stock) lead provisional qualifying at the NHRA Summit Racing Equipment Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio.

The defending Pro Stock Motorcycle world champion Smith rode his way to a 7.059, 187.23. With all the water seeping to the surface of Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park, it was a good time to be a Nitrofish.

Stevens never had a clue he’d be leading Pro Stock qualifying considering this was his first outing of the 2008 season.

Subbing for injured Pro Stock driver Kenny Koretsky, Stevens was one of only seven Pro Stock entries who got a qualifying attempt in before water seepage halted the session and inevitably the rest of the day.

Stevens ran a 6.833 elapsed time at 202.64 miles per hour to edge Dave Northrop.
