2025 NHRA NEVADA NATIONALS
THE STRIP AT LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
TEAM CHEVY RACE RECAP | NOTES & QUOTES
NOVEMBER 2, 2025

Notes:

• For the 19th time in her career, Brittany Force drove a Top Fuel Dragster to victory, breaking a tie with Shirley Muldowney and giving her the all-time lead among women Top Fuel pilots. The JFR Chevrolet Accessories Top Fuel Dragster was consistent on the way to a tight win over Shawn Langdon and her second Wally of the year. Force bested Langdon by nine feet with a finals run of 3.704 seconds at 337.33mph.
• For the 58th time in her career and sixth time in 2025, Force took the No. 1 spot in qualifying. Her second run on Friday at 3.697 seconds was enough for the top spot, and the 338.85mph at the top end means Force has set nine new track speed records this season.
• A solo run in the first round led to a match-up with Clay Millican in the second round, with Force giving up lane choice by a slim 0.008 seconds. Force never trailed after an early advantage, going 3.764 seconds at 335.65mph to move on to the semi-finals for the eighth time in 2025.
• Force faced an early deficit and, despite losing cylinders halfway down the course, kept her foot in it to move on to the final after Stewart went up in smoke.
• Austin Prock and his Cornwell Tools JFR Chevrolet SS Funny Car made a final round for the 12th time in 19 events, but fell to Matt Hagan after being forced to pedal it early. Prock heads to the final round with a 101-point lead over Hagan.
• Prock and teammate Jack Beckman in the PEAK Antifreeze and Coolant JFR Chevrolet SS Funny Car traded the No. 1 qualifying spot over the two runs on Saturday, with Prock saving his best for his fourth run, going 3.885 seconds at 335.23mph to grab the top spot for the third straight event and seventh time in 2025.
• Prock faced intense competition in the first three rounds of eliminations, beating Jason Rupert, JR Todd, and Bob Tasca III to reach the final against Hagan.
• Beckman bested Dave Richards in the first round before falling just short against Daniel Wilkerson in the quarter-finals.
• Dallas Glenn extended his points lead over teammate Greg Anderson to 92 points headed to the final round, using a run of 6.602 seconds at 206.61mph in his Pro Stock Chevrolet Camaro to win the Las Vegas final against Matt Hartford.

UP NEXT:

The 20th and final round of the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season, the sixth round of the Countdown to the Championship, will take place November 13-16 at Pomona Dragstrip in Pomona, CA.

Post-Race Driver Quotes:

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

“Went up there and read the racetrack and these Funny Cars can be funny sometimes. It did everything we asked it to. Everything lined up on the computers just like it should have. And it just didn’t go, and it’s hard to say exactly what it was. It stings, you know, but all in all, it was a good weekend.l We wanted to go to the final round and we wanted a shot at winning and we believe we had a shot at winning and just didn’t work out”

JACK BECKMAN, DRIVER OF THE PEAK ANTIFREEZE AND COOLANTS CHEVROLET SS FUNNY CAR FOR JOHN FORCE RACING:

“Great race car, marginal driver on that run. There’s no other way to spin it. I got beat on a whole shot. I don’t know that my best light was going to win that race. Wilkerson just nailed the tree. I didn’t have a light this weekend quick enough to outrun that. But I also didn’t have the light that I should have had up there. That’s a bitter pill. It makes for a long toe back to the pits, knowing that the crew gave you a phenomenal race car and you didn’t give them 100% out there. So I’m not going to try to spend this in a positive way. I’m upset, and I let the team down, and I also don’t do good dwelling on negative things. I’m going to work on the things that I need to work on to be better when we unload the car at Pomona.”

BRITTANY FORCE, DRIVER OF THE MONSTER ENERGY CHEVROLET DRAGSTER FOR JOHN FORCE RACING:

“This win is a special one, mainly because of the announcement I made in Reading and the beginning of the countdown that I was going to step out of the seat. So when that got out there, I want led to end strong, I wanted to win another one for this Chevrolet team. It’s been far too long, and the one thing I was saying is I want to finish strong. “

LAS VEGAS (Nov. 2, 2025) – In a thrilling winner-take-all final round in the Congruity NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series on Sunday at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, J.R. Gray clinched his first career NHRA world championship by taking down Billy Banaka to close out the season as part of the Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals powered by Direct Connection.

The event was the final of 10 races in NHRA Pro Mod and the last of the category’s four-race “Road to the Championship” playoffs was powered by JBS Equipment.

Gray, who won three races in the regular season, was stellar on Sunday as the stakes grew with each passing round. He defeated Alex Laughlin, Kevin Rivenbark and past world champion Mike Castella to reach the final round, setting up the high-stakes championship round against Banaka.

Gray left first with a sterling .028 reaction time and never looked back, pulling away from Banaka with a run of 5.749-seconds at 250.04 mph in his Al-Anabi Performance Camaro, clinching the event win and, more importantly, the world championship for the very first time in the NHRA ranks.

“The level of competition in this class is incredible. Every round, I kept going, ‘This is the most important round,’ and it was just all day long like that. To come out on top, this is my greatest victory ever,” Gray said.

“I was very mentally prepared. I was just taking it one round at a time. You’re walking a fine line between trying to be calm and not being calm at the same time. I felt like I controlled my emotions well all day, and I feel like that was one of the reasons I was able to get this victory.”

Gray, who qualified No. 3, had a dominant regular season with four final-round appearances, but stumbled out of the gates in the Pro Mod playoffs, falling in the first round at the first two races. He recovered with a semifinal showing in St. Louis, knowing he likely needed to win in Las Vegas to have a shot at a championship.

Gray went 5.710 at 252.28 in the opening round and went 5.75 in the next two rounds to set up the marquee matchup with Banaka.

“It’s just amazing for it to come down the last round,” Gray said. “I just didn’t let the pressure get to me and we worked together as a team. In that final round, I wasn’t going to lift no matter what. It just felt amazing to see that win light pop up.”

Banaka, who won his first career race in NHRA Pro Mod earlier this year, qualified No. 1 and advanced to the finals for the third time this season thanks to round wins over Stan Shelton, Derek Menholt and Chip King.

The NHRA Pro Mod Series will open the 2026 season as part of the NHRA Gatornationals at legendary Gainesville Raceway on March 5-8.

LAS VEGAS (Nov. 2, 2025) – In her final appearance at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Brittany Force powered past Shawn Langdon in the final round on Sunday at the 25th annual Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals powered by Direct Connection, winning for the 19th time in her career.

Matt Hagan (Funny Car), Dallas Glenn (Pro Stock) and Gaige Herrera (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also won the 19th of 20 races during the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season and the fifth of six races in the Countdown to the Championship playoffs.

Force went 3.704-seconds at 337.33 mph in her 12,000-horsepower Chevrolet Accessories dragster, holding off Langdon’s run of 3.727 at 333.91 to pick up her second victory in 2025 and her fifth career win in Las Vegas. It brought out a roar from the crowd as Force, who announced her retirement from full-time racing at the end of the season, looks to close the season in style.

She qualified No. 1, setting the track speed record on Friday, and then knocked off Clay Millican and Tony Stewart on Sunday to face off against Langdon. She posted a solid .065 reaction time and quickly chased down Langdon, as her 19th career win also breaks a tie with legendary Shirley Muldowney as the winningest female in Top Fuel history.

It gives her back-to-back fall wins at Las Vegas, adding another special memory to her standout career.

“This win is a special one,” Force said. “This race is now something more than any other race, because of that number 19, lining it up as the winningest female driver in Top Fuel makes it more special. When we look back on this win, this one now will be because we were able to do that with two races left.

“Ever since I made my retirement announcement, my guys have said they wanted at least one more win for me and I wanted to end strong and get back to that winner’s circle. It’s been far too long. I put my heart into it. My team puts their heart into this car. It’s very special.”

Langdon reached the finals for the sixth time this season and 51st time in his career, defeating Kelly Harper, Justin Ashley and teammate Doug Kalitta to reach the final round. The semifinal win against Kalitta kept Langdon and Ashley alive in the championship chase against Kalitta, who still holds a commanding points lead with one race left. Kalitta, who is seeking his second world title in three years, leads Langdon by 144 points and Ashley by 163 points.

In Funny Car, four-time world champion Matt Hagan stayed alive in the title chase with a spectacular performance on Sunday in Las Vegas, including a weekend-best run of 3.877 at 327.03 in his 12,000-horsepower American Rebel Beer Dodge//SRT Hellcat to defeat points leader Austin Prock in the final round.

With Prock on the verge of clinching, Hagan and his Tony Stewart Racing team made sure it wouldn’t take place in Vegas, turning in an epic day, making two runs of 3.87 to stay alive. The victory over Prock gave Hagan his third victory of the season and 55th in his standout career.

He knocked off Cruz Pedregon, Chad Green and Daniel Wilkerson to reach the final round, racing past Prock when the reigning world champion ran into tire smoke. Chasing down Hagan would have been tough, as the 3.877 was the best of the weekend in the class and also handed Hagan his sixth career win in Las Vegas. The veteran remained impressed by the job from his team as Hagan won for the second time in the Countdown to the Championship this season.

“I think we made [the points race] interesting,” Hagan said. “Nobody really expected us to win or them to smoke the tires, or anything like that. But we just went up there and said, ‘This is what we think the track can hold and run the best that we can,’ and I was up on the wheel and got a good light.”

“It was a have-to win-race. There’s some times in my career that you pull your crew chief aside and say, ‘Man, we got to win this one,” and this was one. I’m just super proud of my guys. You know, Mike Knudsen, Alex Conaway, Phil Shuler, making the calls for the first time at every race track we show up as a first-time crew chief. Crew chiefs win races, man; the drivers is just keeping it in the groove and making it look good.”

Prock went to the finals for the 12th time this year and 32nd time in his career thanks to wins against Jason Rupert, J.R. Todd and Bob Tasca III. He remains in prime position to clinch a second straight world championship in Pomona, holding a 101-point lead over Hagan.

There was no Las Vegas slump this weekend for Pro Stock points leader Dallas Glenn, who was picture-perfect on Sunday, taking the win for the eighth time this season after defeating Matt Hartford in the championship round with a run of 6.602 at 206.61 in his RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro.

Last year, Glenn lost in the opening round in Las Vegas, opening the door for Greg Anderson to pull off a massive comeback in Pomona. It didn’t happen this time, as Glenn took down Anderson in the semifinals and finished the job, winning for the third time in Las Vegas and opening up a sizable 92-point lead over Anderson heading into the final race.

It was the weekend Glenn needed, as he defeated Dave Connolly, 10-time Vegas winner Erica Enders and then Anderson en route to the finals. Against Anderson, Glenn was dynamite on the starting line, using a .026 reaction time to pick up the holeshot victory with a run of 6.606 at 206.92. He was an even better .006 against Hartford, driving away for the win – with a championship now within reach.

“This is very satisfying,” Glenn said. “Coming in with a very similar points lead to last year where I had to sit and watch that lead go to negative. This is definitely a much better feeling to be sitting here holding the trophy this time. You definitely can’t describe how good this feels.

“It hasn’t really hit me yet. I have so much more confidence in the car and I got all the nervousness out last year with that incredible points battle that we had between four drivers. I definitely feel way more relaxed, way less nervous. I was a wreck last year.”

Hartford made the final round for the fourth time in 2025 and the 21st time in his career after knocking off Deric Kramer, Fernando Cuadra Jr. and Jeg Coughlin Jr.

Back-to-back Pro Stock Motorcycle world champion Gaige Herrera had a flawless weekend when he needed it most, capping off an impressive three days with his third straight victory in Las Vegas, taking down Angie Smith in the final round with a run of 6.809 at 198.17 on his RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Suzuki.

It gives Herrera his seventh victory this season and 28th in his career, and with a third straight championship on the line, he pulled to within 21 points of teammate and points leader Richard Gadson. That’s less than one round of racing at the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals in Pomona, setting up what could be an incredible finale.

Herrera qualified No. 1 and then knocked off Karen Stoffer and Clayton Howey to set up a thriller in the semifinals against Gadson. The points leader left with a perfect .000 light and Herrera was right there with a .005 start, delivering a 6.825 to take the win. He followed with another strong showing against Smith, keeping him red-hot in Las Vegas.

“This couldn’t have gone any better,” Herrera said. “Me and my teammate [Gadson], facing off in the semis, with him in the points lead, so I needed him to go out to get a little closer. What a race between me and him, my .005 light to his perfect .000 light. It just doesn’t get any better than that. It also just goes to show how hungry we both are to get this championship right now.


“Going up for the final, I was kind of like, ‘All right, let’s just go make another lap’, but Angie put up a good fight there. We both ran really well. I feel like I do better under pressure. The last two seasons, I kind of just had to win the first round to clinch the championship. This year it’s going to be different. I’d love to race (Gadson) in the final in Pomona for the championship.”

Smith reached the final round for the second time this season and 11th time in her career thanks to round wins against Freddie Camarena, Matt Smith and Brayden Davis.

The NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series returns to action on Nov. 13-16 with the final race of the season, the 60th annual In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip.

Doug Kalitta leads Langdon in Top Fuel points heading to finale

LAS VEGAS (Nov. 2, 2025) – Shawn Langdon took his Kalitta Motorsports Toyota Top Fuel Dragster to the finals in Sunday’s NHRA Nevada Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, falling just short of his fourth victory this season. The result is Langdon’s sixth final round appearance in 2025, as he moved up to second in the points standings heading to the season finale in two weeks. Langdon’s final round run today also gives Toyota its 16th consecutive appearance in the finals in either Top Fuel or Funny Car.

On his way to the finals, Langdon had to defeat teammate and Top Fuel points leader Doug Kalitta in the semifinals. Kalitta’s run on Sunday gives him a 144-point lead heading to In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip as he looks to secure his second world title.  

In Funny Car, J.R. Todd advanced the farthest of Team Toyota, going to round two on Sunday in his DHL GR Supra Funny Car. Ron Capps and Del Worsham were eliminated in round one.

TOYOTA QUOTES

SHAWN LANGDON, Kalitta Air Careers Toyota Top Fuel Dragster, Kalitta Motorsports

TF Final Result: Runner-up

What does a run like today mean for you and the championship fight?

“It was a great racing day. We had a good qualifying spot (third). First round did throw us a curveball, though – we were able to have a little bit of luck and make it through that. But from then on out, we had very fast race car. From a statistical and avid fan standpoint, the second round against Justin (Ashley) was pretty awesome. I was kind of in a different zone today, so it didn’t really dawn on me until after the run how big that round was, but regardless, I was just trying to do my job. I was a little off on the tree today for whatever reason, but it worked. The Kalitta Air Career Toyota Dragster saved my butt. The semifinal win over Doug (Kalitta) is why we have a completely outside shot at the championship, but still, we’re going to Pomona with that shot. We’ll go there with the same mentality we’ve had the last couple of races – we just need to win, and we have the car to do it. It’s just a matter of everything falling into place, but the main objective is the Kalitta cars finishing one-two in points at the end of the day.”

DOUG KALITTA, Mac Tools Toyota Top Fuel Dragster, Kalitta Motorsports

TF Final Result: Semifinals

Describe your day for us and what this means for Pomona in a few weeks?

“The ladder definitely set up nicely for us starting the day, but Shawn (Langdon) made a really good run in the semis and got around us. After a couple of race wins and halfway through this one, it’s been nice seeing those win lights come on. It was just one of those deals. My guys are really doing a heck of a job, and we had Mac Tools, Toyota, Revchem, Dayco and all our friends from them out here (Las Vegas) so we had a lot of support – that’s definitely a big part of it. We have one more race to go, and we’ll go into it in a really good position.  It’s definitely the best position I’ve ever been in going into Pomona, but we didn’t get enough points to clinch it here, so we still have some work to do.”

LAS VEGAS (Nov 2, 2025) – Jeg Coughlin Jr. and the SCAG Power Equipment / Outlaw Beer team led Elite Motorsports at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, advancing to the semifinals Sunday at the Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals.

Jeg. Jr., a five-time Pro Stock world champion, qualified in the No. 10 spot with a 6.613-second pass at 207.5 mph. In the opening round, Jeg Jr. faced Eric Latino and despite leaving the starting line second, made up the difference pulling ahead for a 6.617 pass at 207.05 to defeat Latino’s 6.677 at 207.72.

The quarterfinals brought a tricky pedal-fest against teammate and No. 2 qualifier Aaron Stanfield in his Johnson’s Horsepowered Garage / Melling Performance / Janac Brothers Racing machine. Both drivers battled tire shake, but Jeg Jr. recovered first for a 6.672-second pass at 207.05 mph while Stanfield went 6.715 at 207.62. Stanfield made it to the second round after defeating teammate Cristian Cuadra in the first round (6.595 at 208.17 def. 6.642 at 206.99).

In the semis, Jeg. Jr. matched up with Matt Hartford. Holding a 12–5 record over Hartford in prior meetings; Jeg Jr. left the line first and ran a 6.668-second pass at 206.45 but it wasn’t enough for Hartford’s 6.603 at 207.40.

“Our team’s performance in Vegas continues to show progress. We had a couple cars qualified in the top eight and this SCAG / Outlaw Beer team was fortunate to have a strong semifinal finish,” Jeg Jr. said. “We will continue to hustle between now and the season ending event in Pomona and then directly into the off-season. This Elite Motorsports team doesn’t quit, and this momentum should bring us more favorable results and that’s very exciting.”

Fernando Cuadra Jr., the No. 14 qualifier repping the Corral Tequila / Corral Boots / Cuadra brands, advanced past No. 3 qualifier Cory Reed on a holeshot (.027, 6.622 at 206.89 def. .059, 6.599 at 206.20) before being stopped by Hartford in round two. Six-time Pro Stock world champion Erica Enders also won her first-round match up against teammate David Cuadra on a holeshot (.029, 6.615 at 207.62 def. .100, 6.611 at 207.37) but came up short to eventual race winner Dallas Glenn.

The 2025 Mission Foods NHRA Drag Racing Series will come to an end with the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip, Nov. 14-16, in Southern California.
