Mike Edwards rode his third round qualifying pass of 6.67 seconds, 205.99 mph, to the number one qualifying spot for the SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals at The Strip in Las Vegas.
This is the fifth pole position for Edwards in six races this year, third straight at this track and 27th of his Pro Stock career.
Track temperatures soured above the 120 degree mark during the final session and we at their peak as Edwards squared off against Roger Brogdon. Brogdon closed the gap between himself and Edwards in the round, but will go off third in Sunday eliminations, behind Edwards and Ron Krisher.
