POLLACHECK STEPPING BACK FOR A YEAR

 

The Pro Stock Motorcycle class will be missing one familiar face in 2022. 

Scotty Pollacheck said Friday he is not planning to race next season, opting to take the year off as he and wife Susan are designing a new home and having it built near their current Center Point, Ore., house. 

“We have a big project at home, building the house and the shop and everything. And that's going to keep us really busy. So we'll focus on that, and hopefully that all goes like we wanted to. Anything's possible after that, but that's the plan for now, just to stay home and take care of that,” he said before qualifying began Friday.
