Stoffer Aiming to Solidify Playoff Spot

NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle championship contender Karen Stoffer and her Geico-backed team are hoping to earn more valuable PowerAde points at this weekend's Lucas Oil Nationals from Brainerd, Minn.

Stoffer is currently ranked fourth in the NHRA championship standings with just two more events to go before only the top eight advance to the next level of countdown.

"We got off to a great start this season," said Stoffer, who won two of the first three NHRA events. "Now we really need to focus and finish strong. We want to put in a great performance this weekend to guarantee us our spot in the countdown."

Stoffer is well aware of what the team must do to succeed in Minnesota.

"We have to figure out the best set-up for the motorcycle as quickly as possible.

It all comes down to me making the absolute cleanest passes I can make to help Gary make the tuning calls," Stoffer said. "The quicker we can find out what set-up the track needs the better."

Stoffer will be in search of her sixth career event victory.

"We know we've got the power to go out and win, we just need to put it all together in one package," Stoffer said.

Stoffer went on to extend special thanks to all of the 2007 sponsors and supporters.
