The driver from Edgerton, Ohio, posted a blistering 7.586 seconds at 175.75 mph run on Friday night to move around Tony Scott Jr. for the top spot. Dietsch\u2019s pass was the second quickest run in class history narrowly missing Mark Pawuk\u2019s record run 7.583 seconds from St. Louis in 2023.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u201cThis is basically our home track, and we\u2019re two hours from the house to the track. We always like coming here we have a lot of people that follow our racing,\u201d said Dietsch. \u201cI know lots of the guys are mad we went out there and ran that number. I look at it this way, I pay the same bills I\u2019ve never been the guy that is going to save it for the next guy. I\u2019m gonna use it up on every run.\u201dFor Dietsch and the rest of his team the work to have success on the track starts at the shop. Between races his teams are preparing for the Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown national events running other races and testing the shop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese guys at KSR work their rear ends off. Tony Scott\u2019s team is working hard. We race head-to-head against each other every week. You must go work to get results. There\u2019s a lot of technology out there and we test every week. We\u2019re going out there because we want to beat each other. Other guys just really need to get to work over there, plain and simple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the field is chasing Dietsch on the qualifying ladder Jonathan Allegrucci is the racer to catch on the track. The Mustang Cobra Jet driver from Scotts Township, Penn., is looking to win his fourth consecutive Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown race of the season. As the No. 5 qualifier he will have lane choice over No. 12 qualifier Ricky Hord in the first round. The Flexjet Bounty has grown to $3,000 to the driver who can turn on a win light against the current points leader.<\/p>\n<p>Two Ohioans will also be looking to get into the winner\u2019s circle. Two-time and reigning Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown world champion Mark Pawuk, the No. 8 qualifier, is racing to go back-to-back at the Summit Equipment Nationals with his Empaco-backed Dodge Charger. Thunder Valley Nationals runner-up Raymond Nash finished in the No. 15 spot after some challenging qualifying runs and is hoping to capture his first national event win in the Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown class this weekend. Pawuk will face Rouven Dawson in the first round and Nash will square off with James Betz.<\/p>\n<p>The first round of eliminations at the Summit Equipment NHRA Nationals at Summit Motorsports Park will begin Saturday evening with eliminations concluding tomorrow.
