SONOMA, Calif. \u2013 Six-time Pro Stock Motorcycle world champion Matt Smith continued to enjoy success at Sonoma Raceway in specialty races, winning the GETTRX Pro Stock Motorcycle All-Star Callout for a second straight year on Saturday as part of this weekend\u2019s Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals presented by PowerEdge.<\/p>\n

Smith picked up the victory when Richard Gadson went red in the final round, claiming the $25,000 prize and winning the Callout in back-to-back years. He\u2019s won a bonus race in Sonoma four times on his Denso\/Matt Smith Racing Buell and continued to have the magic touch at the facility on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Smith went 6.783-seconds at 199.76 mph against Gadson, who went red by .001, as the multi-time champion enjoyed another magical Saturday in Sonoma. Smith opened the Callout with a victory against Chase Van Sant and then beat teammate John Hall in the semifinals, setting up the marquee matchup with Gadson in the championship round.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is awesome. I love this track. I came here as a kid and watched my dad [Rickie] win in a Pro Stock car. It\u2019s a long tow from North Carolina but it\u2019s worth it. This is also Denso\u2019s home race,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe track was really good but we had a headwind. We\u2019ve had a headwind all weekend. If we could get a tail wind, you might see our 205 mph record get hit. When we ran the semis, I made the decision to choose John, that way we were sure to have a Denso\/MSR bike in the final. It was just a strategy call and it worked. It was also a way to make sure they [Vance & Hines] didn\u2019t put both of their bikes in the final.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Despite the loss in the final round, Gadson did get to enjoy qualifying No. 1 for the first time in his career, as Friday\u2019s run of 6.702 at 200.77 on his RevZilla\/Motul\/Vance & Hines Suzuki held up.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll take that top spot into raceday \u2013 as well as a first-round matchup against Brad Hawkes \u2013 as he looks to win for the second time this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad we were able to hold on to No. 1,\u201d Gadson said. \u201cThis is my first yellow hat and it\u2019s something I\u2019ve wanted for a long time. That was a big run. We didn\u2019t qualify No. 1 by a little bit. It was quite a bit.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for the [GETTRX Callout final], we\u2019re running for a lot of money so I made the decision to let it all hang out. Going red by a thousandth of a second is just part of the deal. You\u2019ve got to know how to shake it off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith qualified second with a 6.740 at 200.26 and John Hall is third with a 6.759 at 197.28.<\/p>\n
