ANGIE SMITH, JIANNA EVARISTO Among Elite Eight for $25K NHRA Callout

July 8, 2026

• ANGIE SMITH qualifies as fourth seed in eight-rider field for GETTRX NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle All-Star Callout, competing against reigning champ Richard Gadson and defending Callout winner Matt Smith for $25,000 prize.
• JIANNA EVARISTO enters as sixth seed in callout-format specialty race where riders strategically choose opponents rather than following traditional bracket ladder, adding psychological warfare to Sonoma competition dynamics.
• Gadson brings Norwalk victory momentum and redemption motivation after losing 2025 Callout final by .001-second red-light, declaring he has best bike setup entering Saturday’s one-day elimination showdown.
• Matt Smith targeting unprecedented third consecutive All-Star Callout victory after returning from surgery absence, holding No. 3 seed position behind two-time world champion Gaige Herrera’s top selection slot.
