Herrera Wins All-Star Callout
Two-time Pro Stock Motor-
cycle world champion Gaige
Herrera put together a dominant
Saturday at Sonoma Raceway,
July 18, rolling to the victory over
teammate Richard Gadson in
the final round of the GETTRX
Pro Stock Motorcycle All-Star
Callout.
The single-day bonus race took
place on Saturday after two time
trial runs on Friday and Herrera
was on another level over three
rounds on his RevZilla/Motul/
Vance & Hines Suzuki, going
6.689 seconds at 202.15 mph.
Herrera won the $25,000 prize
handed to the Callout winner,
and he was nearly untouchable
in the three rounds of elimina
-
tions, making a trio of runs in the
6.60s to win the GETTRX All-Star
Callout for the second time in his
career. The first came in 2023
during the inaugural Callout race
for Pro Stock Motorcycle.
"It felt like I was back in 2023,
you know," Herrera said. "We
burned the clutch up on the first
run, but after that, it was like
2023 where we had the fastest
bike in the field. Previously, I had
not had good luck at this race
-
track, so this is a big win.
"We came here with a brand-
new motor, broke it in, and every
-
thing just clicked. I came to the
track this morning, and I said,
'I'm going to win today.' That's
just the mentality you come here
with, and it worked out in my
favor. I haven't had that feeling
in a long time and to come out
here and get the win, that's what
means the most to all of us."
In the opening round, Herrera,
who had the first pick of oppo
-
nents, got past Steve Johnson
with an incredible run of 6.665 at
202.76. That set up a semifinal
matchup with Maryland winner
Angie Smith, but Herrera was
again impressive, going 6.687
at 202.45 to advance to the final
