With Brian Bewcyk holding onto the pole position after his Friday Night
Thunder win, the rest of the front row for Sunday's AMSOIL World Championship race was set during Saturday's qualifying.With qualifying stretching the entire afternoon, AMSOIL rider PJ Wanderscheid started the session strong, going wire to wire for the win. Once in the second round of qualifying, the three time champion went bar to bar with two time champion Gary Moyle, with Moyle taking the checkered flag. Wanderscheid was right on his tail,
taking a second and leaving the track with the confidence needed to win on Sunday."We had to tweak some handling issues before the semi-final," said Wanderscheid. "But the track is really fast and we had a lot of speed in the straight aways. So, we are very confident in our chances to win number four. We'll need a good start and stay clean for 25 laps."
Another AMSOIL rider, Brad Bettin, will have to make it through the Last Chance Qualifier on Sunday to race in his second straight World Championship. Bettin hit hard into the hay bales in turn three and had to leave the track for medical attention.In snocross, AMSOIL pro rider Shaun Crapo, who won on Friday night, headed off to Winter X, but he left behind the young gun Ryan Carey to take care of business in the Open and Super Stock classes. Carey made both finals scheduled for Sunday, including being one of the top qualifiers in the Pro Open class after winning one of his qualifiers. On Sunday
morning, Carey took a fourth in Pro Super Stock.Last Chance Qualifiers begin at noon on Sunday with the final scheduled for 3:oo p.m. You can watch a live feed from the AMSOIL World Championship on-line.
