Pro Stock Motorcycle Results From the Summit Nationals

LE Tonglet powered his Nitro Fish Racing Suzuki to victory at the 11th annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park. Tonglet’s win moves him into the Pro Stock Motorcycle points lead, bumping Eddie Krawiec on the Harley-Davidson team to second place overall.   Tonglet emerged victorious with a 6.824-second pass at 195.76mph to defeat Matt Smith’s 6.882 at 195.31 on his Victory Magnum. Tonglet notched his 13th career victory and third of the season.

“I didn’t see any win lights throughout qualifying, but seeing them on Sunday is what matters and we are happy with the results,” Tonglet said. “This is huge for us and our position in the points standings, so getting as many wins as possible is definitely our goal.”

Tonglet has now reached three final rounds in five events this season, winning all three of those appearances. He defeated Melissa Surber, Steve Johnson and Hector Arana Jr. before the final round. Smith took on Joe DeSantis, Mike Berry and Scott Pollacheck before reaching his first final round of the season.
