Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Matt Smith didn't feel like doing much after scoring his third top qualifying effort of the season. The defending world champion said he wanted to sit in some water, preferably at a local hospital, and get rid of what he considers to be a kidney stone ailing him.

"I’ve been fighting a little bit of a kidney stone and it’s about to wear me out," Smith said. "We debuted a brand new bike here and I think we’ve got a good bike for tomorrow. We knew it was a good bike yesterday. On the second pass yesterday I did a bad job of riding and it still ran a 6.98. We tried a test deal today on the second run and it didn’t work out, so tomorrow we’ll go back to basics and we’ll be alright."

He says the plan is to race tomorrow, kidney stones or not.

"I will run somehow or another," Smith said. "I’ve been taking some Tylenol for the pain. I am going to the hospital tonight. Hopefully we can get it broke up tonight. I’ll spend some time in there if I have to."

Smith claimed the top spot away from Chris Rivas.
