Hector Arana has been consistent all weekend at Bandimere Speedway. Saturday evening, the Miami native was at his best.

He clocked a 7.319 second track record time in his Lucas Oil Buell bike. This is the second pole of the season for him as he qualified first at Englishtown last month.

"This is just an awesome feeling," said Arana, who is seventh in the points. "I played it conservative (Friday) and today (Saturday) I got a little bit more aggressive and on this last hit I knew I had the opportunity. I wanted to be on the pole and that 31 was a blessing. I wasn't expecting a 31, but I will take anything I can get."

Arana, who won at Gainesville, also was making bold predictions for today.

"I don't know what the Harleys have left, but I'm not going to worry about their bikes," Arana said. "I'm just going to worry about my program and my goal is that I'm going to win."

Andrew Hines (7.342) and Craig Treble (7.358) qualified second and third, respectively. Hines' Harley teammate, Eddie Krawiec, the 2008 Pro Stock Motorcycle world champ, is fourth in the qualifying ladder at 7.363 seconds.
