Post-Race Driver Quotes:

AUSTIN PROCK, DRIVER OF THE CORNWELL TOOLS CHEVROLET SS FUNNY CAR FOR JOHN FORCE RACING:

“Had a good weekend going. Gained a lot of points in qualifying and that’s what we look to do every weekend. Unfortunately came into race day and we stumbled. Got past first round and we’ve had a pretty good trend of once we get past the first round we go to the final round and obliviously that ended this weekend coming up short to Spencer Hyde. But I think this team is heading in the right direction.

We’re learning from the mistakes that we’re making, and we’ll be back in Sonoma. I believe we’re going to be contending for a win there. So, we’ll do our homework over the next few days and try and get back after it.”

JACK BECKMAN, DRIVER OF THE PEAK PERFORMANCE CHEVY SS FUNNY CAR:

“We never root against our team cars…. ever. Our goal is to race Austin in every final round we go to. But they were pulling away in the points. We were third pair in the second round and watched Austin go up there and smoke the tires in the opening pair. It really opened the door for us to start closing the gap in the points. We thought we had the right data and made a good call. We come back and look

at the computer and a lot of times you see the smoking gun; there’s where we missed it, there was the malfunction. You could toss a coin, and it either was going to make it, or it wasn’t, we were so close. But it went out there and shook the tire. I tried to pedal it, but Hagan was driving away, and it became obvious I wasn’t going to chase him down. We’re not licking our wounds, and we have another shot at redemption in a week and we’re going to have monster conditions in Sonoma as well. I’m very satisfied that we took a car that was not qualified going into the last qualifying session, not only got it into the show but made all the right calls to go out there and run low e.t of the weekend so far in the

first round. Now, we just have to get back to our consistency. This car had been rock-solid consistent, and we had a wide window in our tune-up program. We just need to get back closer to the center of that opening.”

BRITTANY FORCE, DRIVER OF CHEVROLET ACCESSORIES CHEVROLET DRAGSTER:

“Overall it was a pretty solid outing for this HendrickCars.com team here in Seattle. We came out and qualified third and laid down three passes over 340 miles per hour this weekend. We were able to make our way to the final round but unfortunately came up short to Shawn Langdon. Pan pressure automatically shut us off in the final. I had no power and was just coasting to the finish line and I saw Shawn (Langdon) go around me. But obviously the highlight of our weekend was in the semi-finals when we made a killer run and went even faster than our current national mile per hour record at 341.85 mph, fastest all time. It’s really exciting for this whole team to do that and be a part of something so prominent in our sport. We work really hard to turn on win lights and put the best numbers up on the board and we’re hoping that record will hold for a while. We reset the Top Fuel speed record back in Charlotte, but our teammate Austin Prock still had us beat overall, so to step up and out do our run from Charlotte and not just be the fastest Top Fuel driver but to be the fastest person in our sport, that’s such

a huge accomplishment for our team. Wins are important but setting records is pretty awesome to. The Countdown is quickly approaching and if we can keep putting together performances like this, we’re going to be in a pretty good spot.”

Tony Stewart, Driver of the TSR Dodge//SRT Direct Connection Top Fuel Dragster

“There were highs and lows to the weekend. We didn’t get the run we were looking for on Friday night, which we thought would set the field. But we rallied and got back to fifth and made it to the Finals of the Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty Challenge. We just fell a little short there even though we were close. We had a good Round 1 today. Last night, we knew if we made it to Round 2, that was going to be one of the biggest rounds of our season so far racing Shawn (Langdon). We had an unfortunate explosion again. It’s a part of racing and it’s going to happen in this sport, it’s just unfortunate it caught us two events in a row. We’ll rebound from it. We lost the points lead, but we’re only 12 points behind which is only one round down. We’re still in striking distance. It’s hard to be disappointed. Every time I feel frustrated about it, I think about where we were this time last year. This was one of the lowest points of the season when we left Seattle. We’ll carry our heads high and just keep plugging away at it.”

Matt Hagan, Driver of the TSR Direct Connection Dodge//SRT Hellcat Funny Car

“It has been a while since my last win, which was last year at Dallas. I am very happy for the whole team, especially Mike Knudsen, who took over as crew chief this year. We were on a learning curve with Mike as a new crew chief after many years working under Dickie Venables (previous crew chief) with our team. Dickie helped us win three World Championships and many race wins. We feel that success will continue with Mike working with Phil Shuler (co-crew chief) and Alex Conaway (car chief). I want to thank Tony (Stewart – team owner) too for bringing in a new guy to head his Funny Car team. He has given Mike a shot working with Phil and here we are in the winner’s circle. I would have liked to have won earlier this year, but everyone was learning, and this win feels great. I think with a final round at Norwalk and a win at Seattle that we are definitely coming into our own with our TSR Dodge//SRT team. We are very happy to put Direct Connection back in the winner’s circle too. I have been with Dodge for 18 years now and all my NHRA wins have come in Dodge Funny Car. So, getting career win number 53 is very special. It takes time to build that confidence in a crew chief and a new team overall. Unfortunately, we have been on the wrong side of some close drag races this year. Now, I see us fighting back into the hunt every weekend. I haven’t won at Sonoma before and I would like to put that “Wally” (trophy) on the trophy shelf next. We’ll celebrate this win and get ready for Sonoma next weekend now.”

Next Up

The next event on the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series schedule is the DENSO NHRA Sonoma Nationals July 25-27 at Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway. The event serves as the second and final stop in the NHRA’s Western Swing.

• Langdon takes over TF points lead
• Hagan nabs first FC win of year
• Glenn gets first PS win at home track
• PSM’s Herrera quickest to 25 victories

SEATTLE (July 20, 2025) – Top Fuel’s Shawn Langdon moved past Tony Stewart into the points lead on Sunday at Pacific Raceways, defeating Brittany Force in the final round of the Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Northwest Nationals.

Matt Hagan (Funny Car), Dallas Glenn (Pro Stock) and Gaige Herrera (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also won the 11th of 20 races during the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season.

Langdon went 3.662-seconds at 337.07 mph in his 12,000-horsepower Kalitta Air Careers dragster to race past Force, picking up his third win of the season for Kalitta Motorsports and the 22nd in his career. On a crucial points day, Langdon defeated Cam Ferre and Tony Stewart earlier in the day en route to his first career win at Pacific Raceways.

Force went 341.85 mph in the semifinals, making the fastest run in NHRA history, but suffered tire smoke in the final round as Langdon cruised to the victory, making three runs in the 3.60s on Sunday. He now leads Stewart by 12 points heading to Sonoma on yet another consistent weekend for the former world champion.

“The guys did a fantastic job. They gave me a great race car,” Langdon said. “It’s awesome coming to tracks like this up here, when you have a great surface coupled with great air, that’s what you’re going to see. We knew the expectation for today of what we wanted to do, what we wanted to accomplish.

“From here on out, it’s just about doing the same thing, just keep doing the same thing, keep making great runs. This is a situation that you dreamed about as a kid, being able to drive a Top Fuel car and then to have it be competitive, it’s awesome for Connie [Kalitta, team owner], seeing the smile on his face is very, very rewarding.”

Force reached finals for the second time in 2025 and 39th in his career thanks to round wins against Ida Zetterstrom, Antron Brown and Doug Kalitta, who set the track record with an incredible run of 3.628 at 341.34. Force topped the speed two rounds later, adding another historic mark in her career.

Funny Car’s Matt Hagan cashed in with a win on Sunday in Seattle for Tony Stewart Racing, finishing off a strong day with a run of 3.904 at 331.94 in his 12,000-horsepower Direct Connection Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat to slip past Ron Capps. Hagan had been consistent for the bulk of the season but had zero wins to show for it – until Sunday.

The four-time champion closed out qualifying by going 3.887 at 332.43 to take second and made two runs in the 3.80s on Sunday, picking up round wins against Buddy Hull, Jack Beckman and Alexis DeJoria to reach the final round. Hagan was on his game in the championship round, delivering a .054 reaction time before picking up his 53rd career victory and moving to third in points.

It’s his second career win at Pacific Raceways, with the first coming in 2013, so this was a welcome return to the winner’s circle for the longtime standout, especially with it being the first Funny Car victory for first-year crew chief Mike Knudsen.

“I want to say thank you to Tony Stewart for believing in Mike and understanding that there was going to be a little bit of growing deal with bringing a new guy in. I just was really pushing for that, and he believed in it, and here we are,” Hagan said. “I think we were on the backside of some really good drag races early on.

“Everybody’s really tough in Funny Car. They all bring everything to the table all the time. So, we were able to come in here after a final round in (Norwalk) Ohio, go some rounds again this weekend, so this was a get-healthy weekend for us moving into Sonoma.”

Capps reached the championship round for the fourth time in 2025 and the 156th time in his career. Austin Prock leaves Seattle with a 140-point lead over Beckman.

In Pro Stock, Dallas Glenn can finally lay claim to a win at his home track, picking up his first career victory at Pacific Raceways in his RAD Torque Systems Camaro when Jeg Coughlin Jr. went red in the final round. Glenn, who earned the GESi No. 1 Qualifier Award, struggled off the starting line as well, but was the beneficiary of Coughlin’s early start, picking up his fourth win this season and the 17th in his young career.

This one will certainly rank high for Glenn, who was spectacular throughout qualifying and early on Sunday. He set the track E.T. record three times in qualifying and then obliterated it to open eliminations, going 6.446 at 212.43 to defeat Kenny Delco. It was the second-quickest run in Pro Stock history and Glenn stayed in the 6.40s the next two rounds in wins against Matt Latino and Greg Stanfield.

It set up a rematch of last year’s final round and Glenn got his redemption, albeit in a way he wouldn’t have predicted. Still, after a stellar weekend in Seattle, Glenn was thrilled to get the win in front of plenty of friends and family, taking over the points lead as well.

“The burnout was right where I wanted it, nice and smooth. I staged nice and shallow. I felt light on the pedal. I felt like everything was going to go good and then when I let go, immediately, I think it was about the time it I realized it was shaking my brain process that it saw a red light over there,” Glenn said. “They put some really nice win lights down there, and if there was no win light, it was going to go back into second gear at a very high rate of speed. I was going to be pushing it and pulling it until it went in.

“It’s definitely really special. I’ve got all my family here, all my sponsors here. I mean, everybody is here. I just a phenomenal race car. I feel like this is the best car I’ve ever had. We’ve worked really hard this season. We’re continuing to work hard. We’re definitely not taking our foot off the gas at all.”

Coughlin, the defending event winner, defeated Erica Enders, Cory Reed and Cody Coughlin to reach the finals for the first time in 2025 and the 121st time in his career.

Pro Stock Motorcycle’s Gaige Herrera continues to rack up NHRA records, becoming the quickest competitor to reach 25 career wins in NHRA history after going a track-record 6.690 at 201.55 on his RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Suzuki to defeat Richard Gadson. Herrera reached the milestone victory in just his 43rd career start as the two-time world champion continues to rack up wins at a record and historic rate.

It’s also his fourth win this season and Herrera’s second at Pacific Raceways, knocking off defending event winner Chase Van Sant and Matt Smith to reach the final round. Herrera was in the 6.70s all weekend, but the team dialed up something big in the final round against Gadson, producing the first-ever Pro Stock Motorcycle run in the 6.60s at Pacific Raceways. Herrera was a stout .010 on the starting line and then rode his way to a 25th career win.

“I never would imagine getting to 25 (wins) this quick,” Herrera said. “I’m living the dream. I’m very blessed as far as that. To get 25 wins, I mean, it still feels like my first. Every time I get a win, it’s just one of those things. You never lose the excitement. You always drive and push yourself to get the Wally, because everyone wants to get the Wally.

“It’s honestly hard to keep track of that stuff. It’s been a lot to take in in a short time for me personally. I can’t do without, the whole band, the Vance & Hines team and my crew chief Andrew [Hines] and it was nice to have an all-Vance & Hines final. Plus, I kind of got redemption from last year here. I had the 11 consecutive race wins and then Chase [Van Sant] beat us in the final, so I had a goal coming here to get the win here.”

Gadson reached the final round for the fourth time this season with wins against Angie Smith and Chris Bostick. Herrera will take a 138-point lead to Sonoma, where the class will also take part in the GETTRX Pro Stock Motorcycle All-Star Callout.

The NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series returns July 25-27 with the 37th annual Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals presented by PowerEdge at Sonoma Raceway.

Tasca Racing battled challenging track conditions and fierce competition this weekend at the NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways, ultimately exiting in the first round of eliminations on Sunday. 

Qualifying threw plenty of curveballs, starting with a single Friday session where cold conditions saw nearly every Funny Car struggle. Bob Tasca III overpowered the track early, posting a 6.912 at 91.85 mph, but good enough for fifth in qualifying.

Saturday brought three shots to improve. Q2 saw the Ford Performance Mustang rip off a strong 3.948 at 314.39 mph, moving the team to fourth. The run for Q3 was smooth early but lost traction late, coasting to a 4.100. Q4 delivered a similar result at 4.113, but several nitro funny car teams stepped up in Q4, as Tasca Racing slipped to seventh overall.

That set up a Round 1 matchup on Sunday against veteran Jack Beckman and John Force Racing. Tasca left strong, but once again lost traction around half-track, clocking a 4.127 at 236.09 mph. Beckman advanced with a blistering 3.839 at 335.15 mph, ending Tasca’s weekend earlier than hoped. 

“Disappointing run,” Bob Tasca III said in a post-round interview. “Blew the tires off at halftrack, again. Nothing more to say. It’s frustrating.” 

Tasca Racing will look to regroup quickly as the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series heads south to Sonoma Raceway for the next stop on the Western Swing.
