Jerry Savoie took home his second NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle victory of the 2015 season with a 7.011 at 193.02 on his Savoie's Alligator Farm Suzuki, beating No. 1 qualifier Chip Ellis, who fouled out at the start of the final round on his PiranaZ/Pippin Motorsports Buell. The win was Savoie's third career victory and his first in Indianapolis. He was the runner-up here in 2011 and 2014. He defeated Chaz Kennedy, Steve Johnson, and Hector Arana Jr. to advance to the final.
“It’s a great day,” said Savoie, who will enter the Countdown as the No. 4 seed. “The last round was not the way we wanted to win, but we held our composure. We had a good day, and we’ve been blessed.”
Ellis was the No. 1 qualifier and was looking for his first win of the season. Despite the loss, Ellis was able to move around LE Tonglet and earn a Countdown spot.
Scotty Pollacheck secured the final Countdown spot when three-time world champ Angelle Sampey lost in the semifinals.
