For the second race in a row, Ben Bostrom will start from the pole position. But arguably the bigger story, is the fact that his brother Eric, will be joining him on the front row. Eric came out of retirement this year, and although he isn't in top form, he still shows flashes of greatness from time to time.
"That's a little bit of a hurdle and the biggest hurdle is just the depth of the field. The top ten guys are all haulin' and that makes being up here on the front row really, really rewarding because I know how hard they are trying," Eric said. "The top three or four guys have definitely put their stamp on the series right now; they're just doing an incredible job, so to be sitting with them is huge for me and huge for the team. Some of my guys are just volunteers and they've absolutely busted their (butts) just to get the bikes here… Biggest thanks to my team -- they've just sacrificed so much."
Bostrom may have been out for a while, but he is contemplating a full time return to the series in 2011.
"I think the biggest thing that's really been exciting… I've been out for a while and it's so nice to come back and have such a good vibe in the paddock. The race organization has done such a nice job. Everything that I heard when I went away were basically horror stories and to come back and see everyone smiling, everyone basically saying this is just the first step in taking the series to new heights, I definitely want to be a big part of it."
