Matt Smith and Chris Rivas Are Poised and Ready for Reading

Going into this weekend’s Toyo Tire Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway in Reading, Penn., the Torco Race Fuels Pro Stock Motorcycle team of Matt Smith and Chris Rivas are focused and ready for things to get underway.

In the last race before the Countdown to the Championship kicks off, Smith sits atop the NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle point standings and has secured the top seed going into Indy. His teammate, Rivas however sits a mere 36 points out of the oh-so crucial top-eight.

“We are still focused right now on Chris,” said Smith. “Even though he is in the 10th position anything can happen at Reading this weekend. We just need to make good, consistent runs and hopefully it will all play out.”

“I’m hoping for the best,” said Rivas. “Like Matt said, anything can happen. Hopefully we can qualify well and go some rounds on Sunday, and maybe sneak our way into the Countdown. That’s what we are hoping for anyway.”

Smith and Rivas both suffered second round losses last weekend in Brainerd after taking out the Army team first round, but eventually losing to the Harley team second round. Both, Smith and Rivas however, are looking to go much further this weekend at Maple Grove.
