Riding his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R750, Scott lapped the 2.3-mile track in 1:26.348, which eclipsed Josh Herrin’s All-Time Lap Record of 1:26.361.

Four-time AMA Pro Superbike Champion Josh Hayes was the best of the rest with a 1:26.764 on his Squid Hunter Racing Yamaha YZF-R6. Stefano Mesa earned the final spot on the front row with a 1:27.017 on his Tytlers Cycle Racing Kawasaki ZX-6R.

Starting from row two will be Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati NYC’s Xavi Fores (P4 – 1:27.021), Scott’s teammate Teagg Hobbs (P5 – 1:27.272), and Disrupt Racing Suzuki’s Cory Ventura (P6 – 1:27.885).
