KALITTA, TODD & ANDERSON RACE TO WINS AT MUCKLESHOOT CASINO RESORT NHRA NORTHWEST NATIONALS

- Kalitta rolls to second straight TF win

- Todd gets first FC win of 2026

- Anderson goes back in PS points lead

SEATTLE (July 26, 2026) – Funny Car’s J.R. Todd won for the first time in 2026 on Sunday at Pacific Raceways to finish off a Kalitta Motorsports nitro sweep with teammate Doug Kalitta, defeating back-to-back world champion Austin Prock in the final round of the 37th annual Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Northwest Nationals.

Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) also won the 12th of 20 races during the 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season.

Todd snapped a 23-race winless streak when Prock went red in the final round, as the past world champion went 3.941-seconds at 334.90 mph in his 12,000-horsepower DHL Toyota GR Supra. It is Todd’s 23rd career victory and first since early 2025, and also his first Funny Car victory in Seattle.

Todd, who qualified No. 1, had a huge points day when it came to the regular season championship, defeating Jeff Arend, Jordan Vandergriff and Matt Hagan to reach the final round. Prock left early by .005, handing the victory to Todd, who had enjoyed a terrific season but had yet to win an NHRA 75th anniversary Diamond Wally.

That changed on Sunday and Todd is now right in the mix, moving to third in points after his impressive performance at Pacific Raceways.

“Dickie [Venables] and Todd [Smith, crew chiefs] did a really good job of racing smart today, not throwing down every run, just racing the conditions on the track,” Todd said. “I thought for sure we were in trouble there in the semis. I missed the Tree, which you can't do against Matt Hagan because they'll make you pay for it, and then I hit the gas and the thing is just out of control, but the win light came on. In the final, I saw Austin out front, and I was like ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’ I thought that I was late and then the win light is on our side. It’s crazy, but I’m just so happy for my guys because they've been working their butts off.

“It’s definitely a big weight off our shoulders. I feel like we let a couple slip through the cracks there earlier in the year. Then we struggled the summer with some clutch disc issues. Now, I think that we're getting back to where we need to be.”

Prock, the defending event winner, advanced to the final round for the second time this season and the 34th time in his career after getting round wins against Daniel Wilkerson, Dave Richards and Jack Beckman. Ron Capps, who lost in the first round for the second straight race, stayed in the points lead, but it’s now just 37 points over Jack Beckman and only 42 against Seattle winner Todd.

Top Fuel’s Doug Kalitta ensured a Kalitta Motorsports nitro sweep for just the second time ever, going a whopping 3.677 at 338.43 in his 12,000-horsepower Mac Tools dragster to slip past Leah Pruett’s 3.689 at 333.49.

A week after winning in Sonoma, Kalitta rolled to a second straight win, making three runs in the 3.60s on Sunday in Seattle. After qualifying third, he went 3.669 – the quickest run of the weekend – 3.690 and 3.726 to reach the finals, defeating Shawn Reed, Jasmine Salinas and Antron Brown in the process.

He led wire-to-wire against Pruett to capture his third victory of the season and the 62nd in his career. It’s also Kalitta’s second win in Seattle, 12 years after his first. More importantly, the reigning world champion has gotten hot at the ideal time for a second straight year, closing in on teammate Shawn Langdon. He’s now just five points outside of the lead in the race for the regular season title.

“Getting this double, I’m just so happy for Connie (Kalitta),” Kalitta said. “He's given us everything we need, and obviously all the crew chiefs, everybody's pulling together trying to help one another, and today's a good result of that. I’m just real proud of our whole effort. I tell you, Connie's had my back for years.

“Alan [Johnson, crew chief] has got the car dialed in. I feel very fortunate he's working on my car. It took us a little bit to get it going this season. We obviously made a lot of changes and it's coming together, and when you get down towards the end of the year, Alan’s got a lot of championships. This is really the time of the year he really focuses on and he always seems to be able to pull it off, so it's going to be exciting.”

Pruett made her third final-round appearance in 2026 and the 28th in her career after defeating Will Smith, Justin Ashley and No. 1 qualifier Josh Hart.

In Pro Stock, Greg Anderson broke out of a recent slump in a major way on Sunday at Pacific Raceways, taking down Greg Stanfield in the final round after Stanfield went red. Anderson went 6.508 at 211.00 in his HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro, avenging a recent stretch that included back-to-back first-round losses.

That wasn’t the case in Seattle, as Anderson moved back into the points lead, winning for the third time in 2026 and the 115th time in his career. After qualifying second, Anderson drove past Stephen Bell, Matt Latino and then longtime rival Erica Enders to reach the final round.

Stanfield, who won last weekend in Sonoma, went red by .008 to hand the victory to Anderson. It gives the six-time world champion four victories at Pacific Raceways and this was an important one after a rough two-race stretch. That now seems to be long gone as Anderson got back on the winning track – and at an ideal point in the season.

“I certainly didn't have a lot of confidence when I came here today. We ran a lot better this weekend,” Anderson said. “My car was definitely better, but I could see, as everybody could see, Dallas Glenn had the car to beat, so to get by Dallas and everybody else out here, like Greg Stanfield, who's on a roll, is really great.

“It’s just a cool class right now. The rest of the year is going to be cool. It's going to be a real dogfight. I just feel fortunate to be part of it. I'm still alive. I apparently, somehow, took the [points] lead from Dallas today, so that’s pretty damn cool, and it just shows what can happen in this class.”

Stanfield was denied a second straight win, but advanced to the final round for the 30th time in his career after defeating his son, Aaron, Cody Anderson and defending event winner Dallas Glenn. Anderson’s points lead over reigning world champion is just eight points with two races left in the regular season.

BROWN, WILKERSON & G. STANFIELD GET MISSION #2FAST2TASTY CHALLENGE WINS AT MUCKLESHOOT CASINO RESORT NHRA NORTHWEST NATIONALS

Josh Hart, J.R. Todd and Dallas Glenn power to No. 1 spots at Pacific Raceways

SEATTLE (July 25, 2026) – Four-time Top Fuel world champion Antron Brown earned his first Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge victory of the year on Saturday at Pacific Raceways, defeating Jasmine Salinas in the final round of the bonus race as part of this weekend’s 37th annual Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Northwest Nationals.

Daniel Wilkerson (Funny Car) and Greg Stanfield (Pro Stock) also won the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge, while Josh Hart (Top Fuel), J.R. Todd (Funny Car) and Dallas Glenn (Pro Stock) qualified No. 1 in Seattle at the 12th of 20 races during the 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season.

Facing off with Jasmine Salinas in the final round of the specialty race, Brown powered to the victory thanks to a run of 3.730-seconds at 332.59 mph in his 12,000-horsepower Matco Tools dragster.

It gave Brown his first Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge win of the year and continued to provide momentum for what’s been a strong stretch. He advanced to the semifinals in Sonoma following back-to-back final rounds in Bristol (win) and Norwalk (runner-up), and Brown continued to get into championship form on Saturday in Seattle.

“The Mission Challenge is going to pay dividends this year. I can already tell just how close the field's going to be,” Brown said. “We know Dougie [Kalitta] and Shawn [Langdon] already have a lot of them, but for the rest of the field, it'll help us out. It'll help us when we get to those tight places. You think about, ‘Man, I wish I would have won that Mission race,’ or ‘That Mission race really panned out.’

“It pushes us to race [on Saturday] and get ready for race day. You're getting warmed up for Sunday. I attacked the Tree these last two rounds, and I think it was .050 and a .046 [reaction times], so that's definitely getting me ready for tomorrow. If I can repeat that tomorrow and given the way our car is running, it puts us in a good spot to be super competitive.”

Hart made a big move to close out qualifying, earning his second career No. 1 qualifier with an impressive blast of 3.685 at 335.40 in his 12,000-horsepower Speedmaster dragster for John Force Racing. It was a welcome sign for Hart, who won the season-opening race – and debut for JFR – but has struggled in recent weeks. Hart, who gets a first-round bye, hopes Saturday’s run signals a turnaround for the team. Billy Torrence qualified second with a 3.692 at 338.17 and Kalitta is third with a 3.703 at 336.57.

“We absolutely had to have that because J.C. [John Collins] and [David] Grubnic have been working so hard, putting in the time and effort and the results weren't there yet,” Hart said. “The team makes very little mechanical mistakes, so we knew it was going to come around. We changed just about everything, and you know I'm the lucky one that gets to be in the seat.

“It's a whole different level than the confidence; you just have to stay patient, keep the faith, and know that this team has had so much success in the past, and I'm just blessed to be able to share in that.”

Funny Car’s Daniel Wilkerson continues to inch closer to his first national event win, this time taking the Mission #2Fast2Tasty victory with a run of 3.924 at 327.98 in his 12,000-horsepower Scag Racing Ford Mustang, knocking off Austin Prock in the process.

He also became the eighth different winner of the specialty race in Funny Car over 11 races this year, further exemplifying the depth in the loaded category. But Wilkerson has come into his own in recent weeks, advancing to final rounds in both Bristol and last weekend in Sonoma.

He slipped past Jack Beckman and then Prock on Saturday, adding to Wilkerson’s confidence level at a key point in the season.

“At Bristol and at Sonoma both, I was positive they were wasting their time showing up in the finals because I was just so sure we were going to win those races. So, to be able to get a victory, even though it's a little later than I wanted to, it's really good,” Wilkerson said. “It does a ton for the team and it helps morale a ton. We just needed another run in the good conditions, so it's exciting.

“These bonus points are going to mean a lot. I think we were four points out of fourth last year, so to snatch up three right here, it's going to be pretty important. I think anyone who thinks we're not going to be a super big threat in the Countdown to win the whole freaking thing is joking themselves, so we're going to need all these little points we can take.”

J.R. Todd made a pair of outstanding passes on Saturday at Pacific Raceways, including a 3.885 at 335.73 in his 12,000-horsepower DHL Toyota GR Supra for Kalitta Motorsports that handed the past champion his third No. 1 qualifier of the season and 17th in his career. He also went 3.90 to close out the day, giving Todd confidence he can pick up his first victory of the season. Todd will open raceday against Jeff Arend, while Beckman qualified second with a 3.890 at 327.43 and Alexis DeJoria is third thanks to a 3.900 at 337.41.

“That was a really good run there in Q3 and then we backed it up with another consistent run in Q4,” Todd said. “We've been battling [clutch controller] issues since we unloaded, so my guys have been busting their butts nonstop and luckily, we got it turned around here today. I think that the weather played a big role in the performance today and I think it's going to be cool again tomorrow, so it should be a pretty exciting race day.

“Now's the time to get rolling. We still have a shot at the regular season championship but, big picture, we’re looking at the Countdown to the Championship. Hopefully, we can rack up some points going into to Brainerd and Indy, then let it eat those last six races.”

Pro Stock’s Greg Stanfield kept rolling after Sunday’s victory in Sonoma, winning the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge in his Janac Brothers Racing car with a run of 6.497 at 211.89 to slip past Erica Enders for the second straight time.

Elite Motorsports was guaranteed the Challenge win on Saturday due to having four cars in the semifinals in Sonoma, but it was Stanfield who kept the momentum on his side, making this a very beneficial trip out West for the veteran and his team.

“It’s pretty cool for an all-Elite Mission race,” Stanfield said. “I hate it for Erica, but turning the win light on is great for our team and everybody that sponsors us. The momentum's great and helping us to keep going. It’s because of all the hard work everybody at Elite Motorsports puts into these teams, so just for me to do my job for those guys, not let them down, that means a lot to me. I think if we can just pick up a little more, I think we can be dangerous.

“I think the Mission race is cool on Saturday. It gets the heart rate going because it’s not just qualifying, especially for the old guy. It helps me get going for Sunday.”

Glenn lowered the boom in qualifying during both sessions on Saturday, claiming his first No. 1 qualifier of the season and the 13th in his career after a run of 6.470 at 211.89 in his RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro. The reigning world champion and defending event winner made the quickest run in all four qualifying sessions, dipping into the 6.40s during both sessions on Saturday.

Greg Anderson ran an identical 6.470 in the final session, but Glenn had the quicker speed to earn the $2,000 GESi No. 1 Qualifier bonus. He’ll open raceday against Mason McGaha, while Anderson qualified second and Matt Hartford took third with a 6.477 at 211.73.

SALINAS, PEDREGON & GLENN START STRONG AT MUCKLESHOOT CASINO RESORT NHRA NORTHWEST NATIONALS

SEATTLE (July 24, 2026) – Top Fuel’s Jasmine Salinas powered to the provisional No. 1 spot on Friday at Pacific Raceways, moving closer to her first career top qualifier at the Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Northwest Nationals.

Cruz Pedregon (Funny Car) and Dallas Glenn (Pro Stock) are also the provisional No. 1 qualifiers in Seattle at the 12th of 20 races during the 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season.

A week after picking up her first career runner-up in Top Fuel, Salinas went 3.794-seconds at 328.38 in her 12,000-horsepower Valley Services dragster to take the top spot. Should that hold, Salinas would pick up her first career No. 1 qualifier.

It also continues an impressive stretch for Salinas, who was terrific just days ago in Sonoma. She knocked off stalwarts like points leader Shawn Langdon and Leah Pruett to reach the final round. Salinas fell to Doug Kalitta in the championship round, but it was a strong weekend for her Scrappers Racing team and that only continued on Friday at Pacific Raceways.

“This is something that I knew we’ve been capable of doing,” Salinas said. “We’ve been seeing the numbers and we've been knowing our capabilities. We just haven't had the shot to really go and show it to everybody else. Sonoma was a really good eye-opener, I think for a lot of other people, and honestly, for myself, too. It's something where I've been telling myself I know I'm going to get better and there's a lot of things I'm working on. But to do it kind of so consistently that weekend, that's awesome.

“Top Fuel is by far the hardest class that I've ever raced, and there are a lot of people whose job it is to wake up and win races. That was a huge thing and mind shift for me, and that was a huge part of why I decided to leave California five years ago and move to Indiana because I knew I was competing against people who wake up, live, breathe, eat, sleep drag racing, and that has become my life the past five years. It's starting to kind of show or pay off a bit.”

Antron Brown is currently second with his pass of 3.798 at 329.67 and reigning world champion Kalitta is third after going 3.802 at 331.69.

In Funny Car, Cruz Pedregon turned some heads to open the day, going 3.926 at 325.61 in his 12,000-horsepower Snap-On Tools Dodge Hellcat SRT as the two-time world champion is after his first No. 1 qualifier of the season.

It was a bright spot for Pedregon as he looks to find consistency in his car and get out of a slump that has plagued most of his 2026 campaign. This was a positive sign for Pedregon, who feels as though his team is on the verge of breaking out. Remarkably, the 40-time event winner is still after his first career victory at Pacific Raceways, something he would like to change this weekend and collect his first 75th anniversary Diamond Wally.

“That was a great run,” Pedregon said. “The track temperature was 130 degrees, so I want to look at our records and see what low E.T. for a Funny Car is on a 130-degree track, because that usually is a great neutralizer as far as the grip level is concerned, so, yeah, hats off to the guys. We had the right setup.

“Honestly, I wish it was going to stay like this tomorrow. There are more cars that can go fast when the conditions are fast and less cars that can thread the needle and hit the clutch just right when the track's like this. We think it'll take about [3.]85 or .86 to get back up in this chair here tomorrow at the end of the day.”

Alexis DeJoria jumped to second after a run of 3.955 at 326.56 and Austin Prock is third after a run of 3.960 at 318.84.

A week after losing in the first round for the first time of the season, reigning Pro Stock world champion Dallas Glenn quickly showed that is long behind him as the points leader made the quickest run of both sessions, including a 6.527 at 210.34 in his RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro during the second session on Friday.

Glenn made a pair of standout runs at his home track, putting the defending event winner on track for his first No. 1 qualifier of the season. After Friday, Sonoma’s struggles seem like a mere hiccup as Glenn looks forward to another big weekend at Pacific Raceways. He shattered track records last year en route to his first Seattle win and with considerably cooler weather moving in on Saturday, Glenn has his sights on more stellar runs in Seattle.

“Leaving Sonoma, I knew we had some momentum going and were heading in the right direction, so I was actually kind of eager to quickly get out of Sonoma and get up here, and see if we can continue building on the progress that we have made. So to come out here and put two good laps down, it felt really good. I’m not saying that Sonoma is completely out of the mind because I'm using it as motivation.

“The only thing that's not good about running good today and then having the air be better tomorrow is every run I'm going to be fending off the entire field trying to steal the No. 1 spot. If the air was going to be a lot worse tomorrow, then I might have this No. 1 qualifier locked up, but I can tell you for sure, it's far from locked down.”

Rookie Cody Anderson ran well and is second with a 6.536 at 210.18 and Sonoma winner Greg Stanfield took third after a 6.539 at 207.05.

Qualifying continues at 12 p.m. PT on Saturday at the Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways.

VANDERGRIFF, KALITTA & G. STANFIELD ENJOY VICTORIES IN FRONT OF SELLOUT CROWD AT DENSO NHRA SONOMA NATIONALS

- Dominant weekend leads to FC win for Vandergriff

- Kalitta gets seventh TF Sonoma victory

- Stanfield goes back-to-back in Sonoma in PS

SONOMA, Calif. (July 19, 2026) – Funny Car newcomer Jordan Vandergriff won for the second time this season for John Force Racing in front of a sellout crowd on Sunday at Sonoma Raceway, defeating Daniel Wilkerson in the final round of the Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals presented by PowerEdge.

Doug Kalitta (Top Fuel) and Greg Stanfield (Pro Stock) also won at the 11th of 20 races during the 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season as NHRA celebrated three straight days of sellout crowds at the standout facility.

Vandergriff went 3.900-seconds at 330.72 mph in his 12,000-horsepower Cornwell Tools Chevrolet SS to power past Wilkerson’s 3.950 at 301.33 in the championship round, getting his second career victory and first at Sonoma Raceway.

The Brea, Calif. native defeated Jason Rupert, Matt Hagan and reigning world champion Austin Prock in a thrilling side-by-side duel to reach the final round, finishing off a near-flawless weekend with another stellar performance in the final round.

The team made wholesale changes after Norwalk and it worked like a charm one race later, as Vandergriff was the quickest car the last three qualifying rounds. He qualified No. 1 and then was remarkably consistent in eliminations, including a Sunday-best run of 3.891 at 328.46. That continued all day, as the rising star moved up three spots to second in points with the victory.

“My team behind me had the car running so well and so and smooth at this race,” Vandergriff said. “Today was one of those days where I got up there, and I knew I was going to go straight and tried and true. Heading into this final round, I knew that we had the car.

“Getting my second win, it means a lot because after my first win, I remember sitting home, on the couch, looking at the Wally, and I'm thinking, ‘You know, how do I get a second one?’ The first one felt like such a whirlwind, and a dream come true. This is my job. My job is to come to John Force Racing and win Wallys for Cornwall Quality Tools. Now I'm going to go home and look at two Wallys and ask myself how to get a third.”

Wilkerson advanced to his second final this year and fourth in his career thanks to round wins against Hunter Green, Spencer Hyde and Jack Beckman. Ron Capps remains in the points lead, but it stands at just 74 points over Vandergriff after a first-round defeat to Prock on Sunday.

There is nobody better in Top Fuel at Sonoma Raceway than Doug Kalitta and that again proved to be true on Sunday in front of a capacity crowd, as the reigning world champion denied area native Jasmine Salinas of her first career victory with an impressive run of 3.731 at 339.36 in the final round in his 12,000-horsepower Aflac dragster for Kalitta Motorsports.

It’s the second straight victory in wine country for Kalitta, who now has seven victories at Sonoma Raceway, which is the most in Top Fuel history.

This weekend was another dominant effort for the two-time champion, as he qualified No. 1, claimed the Deecell After Dark Low Qualifier and rolled to round wins against Clay Millican and Antron Brown to reach the final round.

Salinas made a valiant effort in the finals, leaving first with an .056 reaction time, but Kalitta quickly tracked her down as she went 3.815 at 319.14. It’s also the 61st career victory for Kalitta, who stayed second in points as he gears up for another championship run. His Sonoma victory last year keyed his 2025 title run and Kalitta is hoping for the same this season.

“This is a very special place for me. We had a little dry spell through the years, but I'm glad that we managed to get the last two wins here,” Kalitta said.

“It's been 30 years since, unfortunately, we lost Blaine Johnson and I'm going to have the honor of giving this trophy to Alan [Johnson, crew chief] this evening once we get done with this. It’s very deserving with everything he’s put into this sport. Blaine was a hell of a driver, so this is going to be an honor. This is the time of the year where it gets really fun because we're all battling for points. We’re still quite a ways behind Shawn (Langdon) but we’ve got enough time to do it.”

Salinas reached her first career final round in a two-wide matchup thanks to round wins against Josh Hart, points leader Langdon and Leah Pruett. Kalitta pulled to within 85 points of his teammate Langdon in the points standings.

In Pro Stock, Greg Stanfield continued to feel right at home in front of a packed Sonoma Raceway, defeating six-time world champion and Elite Motorsports teammate Erica Enders on a holeshot and a run of 6.551 at 211.30 in his Janac Brothers Racing car.

It’s the second straight victory in Sonoma for Stanfield, who defeated his son, Aaron, in the finals a year ago. It was another all-Elite final round as Stanfield reached the final round this year thanks to victories against his son, Mason McGaha and Jeg Coughlin Jr.

He was lethal on the starting line in the finals against Enders, going .015 to hold off the 49-time Pro Stock winner. Enders went 6.550 at 210.87 as Stanfield hung on by a thin margin to get his seventh career professional victory.

It was also a massive win for Elite Motorsports, as the team had all four cars in the semifinals and won in Sonoma for the fifth straight time. Stanfield has delivered the last two years, moving to third in points.

“I’m not sure why I do so well here. It must be the wine. It's a great place with great fans and I just feel really comfortable here,” Stanfield said. “The Elite cars are fast right now. I’m just proud, excited and thankful to be driving for them.

“The racing is so tight today, so the driving part of it's really critical. Today was obviously a good day. When I race, I really don't look who's in the other lane. I just try to focus on my side and what I can do and try to do the best I can.

“On Saturday, I just looked at the ladder and thought, ‘Oh, boy, this ain't good’. I just try to do my part to not let everybody down. I won the first round due to pure luck against Aaron, because I should have been beat right there. That was my mulligan of the day.”

Enders advanced to the final round for the first time in 2026 and the 85th time in her career after round wins against Kenny Delco, Matt Latinno and Troy Coughlin Jr. Dallas Glenn remained the points leader after a rare first-round loss, holding a 21-point advantage over KB Titan Racing teammate Greg Anderson, who also fell in the opening round.

The NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series returns July 24-26 with the 37th annual Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways in Seattle.

LANGDON, CAPPS & GLENN WIN MISSION #2FAST2TASTY CHALLENGE AT SONOMA RACEWAY

Kalitta, Vandergriff and Vang all qualify No. 1 at Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals presented by PowerEdge

SONOMA, Calif. (July 18, 2026) – Top Fuel points leader Shawn Langdon rolled to another big Saturday in front of a capacity crowd at Sonoma Raceway, winning the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge as part of this weekend’s Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals presented by PowerEdge.

Ron Capps (Funny Car) and Dallas Glenn (Pro Stock) also won the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge on Saturday, while Doug Kalitta (Top Fuel), Jordan Vandergrif (Funny Car) and Chris Vang (Pro Stock) qualified No. 1 at the 11th of 20 races during the 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season.

Langdon and Kalitta have dominated the Saturday bonus race thus far, and it was the points leader who tasted success in Sonoma, getting the victory in a wild final against Clay Millican after going 4.491-seconds at 227.50-mph in his 12,000-horsepower Kalitta Air dragster.

Langdon pedaled the car late in the run to sneak past Millican, giving the past world champion his fourth victory in the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge. Remarkably, both Langdon and Kalitta have collected 17 championship bonus points in the Saturday specialty, but it was Langdon’s turn to shine this weekend.

“They told me not to pedal. I did, and the first thought that came to my mind was that I was going to be in so much trouble. But at the end of the day, it’s good to get another Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty win, which continues that success on Saturday,” Langdon said.

“It’s the consistency of what the Kalitta group has done the last couple years of going arounds on Sundays and taking advantage of opportunities and being able to be in the Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty on Saturday, and then just kind of, no pun intended, chipping away at it.”

Kalitta easily held on to the No. 1 spot for the third time this season thanks to Friday’s 3.714 at 337.07 in his 12,000-horsepower Aflac dragster. Langdon is second with a 3.714 at 336.49 and Tony Stewart qualified third after going 3.736 at 333.91 on Friday. Kalitta, the defending event winner and reigning world champion, has been special in Sonoma over the years and he’ll look for a Top Fuel-best seventh win in wine country on Sunday, opening eliminations against Millican.

“That was a great run for us. The thing just stayed straight and didn’t smoke the tires. It’s pretty tricky out there right now and I hope my guys have got a handle on that thing for tomorrow, but so far, so good,” Kalitta said. “We’ll just keep our heads down and try to get to the final. This is a real special place for me and really hope we can get something going tomorrow.”

The final of the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge in Funny Car was also a wild one, as Capps skated past Jack Beckman in the final round with a run of 4.429 at 225.03 in his 12,000-horsepower NAPA Auto Care Toyota GR Supra.

Both Capps and Beckman ran into trouble late in the run, but Capps pedaled it and slipped past his former teammate in an enjoyable duel for the fans. It is Capps’ first victory of the season in the bonus race and doing it at his home track in Sonoma meant even a little more for the Funny Car points leader and three-time world champion.

“As I said earlier, Guido [crew chief Dean Antonelli] is not going to be happy. I'm not looking forward to walking into the trailer because while it's great money that Mission Foods puts up for this and the points are incredible, it could have been expensive. Guido would have been like, ‘You won $10,000, but if you had blown the body off it would have been $110,000. Thankfully that didn’t happen,” Capps said.

“I was just thinking about getting to the finish line first, and I didn't know that [Beckman] was doing the same thing over there, getting sideways. I can't wait to watch it. It’s got to be pretty epic to watch.”

Vandergriff’s impressive Friday run of 3.849 at 332.43 in his 12,000-horsepower Cornwell Tools Chevrolet SS handed the Funny Car newcomer his second top qualifier in his career. His John Force Racing teammate, Jack Beckman, took second with a 3.873 at 333.16 and Daniel Wilkerson qualified third thanks to a 3.899 at 327.66. Vandergriff will open eliminations against Jason Rupert and is full of confidence after making a strong run of 3.931 at 329.99 to close out qualifying on Saturday.

“We made some wholesale changes after Norwalk and they seem to be working out. We can push it a little bit and we’ve been really good these last three sessions,” Vandergriff said. “I think we’ve got a hot rod this weekend and it’s been a great weekend for us thus far. I love racing here.”

In Pro Stock, Dallas Glenn grabbed his third victory in the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge, defeating Norwalk winner Aaron Stanfield in the final round with a run of 6.526 at 210.14 in his RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro.

It’s been a unique weekend in the category and Glenn admitted the car quite hasn’t been at its best, but he was thrilled with the victory and the potential to double-up with his first career win in Sonoma.

“Honestly, I felt like when I left and the whole run, it felt better than a 6.52. I was hoping to see a 6.51 or even a 6.50 out there. I feel like we're not where we should be, especially compared to last year,” Glenn said.

“I know we were really fast last year and it's hard to compare to that, but I feel like we should just be at least a couple of hundredths faster, especially looking at the weather and corrected numbers. Still, it’s good to win one of these [Mission Challenge events] and I hope we can do the same tomorrow. I really like the diamond [75th anniversary] Wally.”

Chris Vang stayed atop the field to earn a monumental first in his career, taking his first No. 1 qualifier thanks to Friday’s 6.498 at 209.04 in his Prestige Trailers Chevrolet Camaro. Rookie Cody Anderson took second with a 6.499 at 210.54 and Erica Enders qualified third on the strength of Friday’s 6.503 at 211.33.

For Vang, he also nets the $2,000 GESi Pro Stock No. 1 qualifier bonus, a day after getting $2,500 for the Deecell After Dark Low Qualifier bonus. He’ll open raceday against Mason McGaha, looking for his first career win.

“We’ve got good power down low and a good setup,” Vang said. “It takes a whole team to get this done.”

GAIGE HERRERA DOMINATES EN ROUTE TO GETTRX PRO STOCK MOTORCYCLE ALL-STAR CALLOUT WIN

SONOMA, Calif. (July 18, 2026) – Two-time Pro Stock Motorcycle world champion Gaige Herrera put together a dominant Saturday at Sonoma Raceway, rolling to the victory over teammate Richard Gadson in the final round of the GETTRX Pro Stock Motorcycle All-Star Callout.

The single-day bonus race took place on Saturday after two time trial runs on Friday and Herrera was on another level over three rounds on his RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Suzuki, going 6.689-seconds at 202.15 mph.

Herrera won the $25,000 prize handed to the Callout winner and he was nearly untouchable in the three rounds of eliminations, making a trio of runs in the 6.60s to win the GETTRX All-Star Callout for the second time in his career. The first came in 2023 during the inaugural Callout race for Pro Stock Motorcycle.

“It felt like I was back in 2023, you know,” Herrera said. “We burned the clutch up on the first run, but after that, it was like 2023 where we had the fastest bike in the field. Previously, I had not had good luck at this racetrack, so this is a big win.

“We came here with a brand new motor, broke it in, and everything just clicked. I came to the track this morning, and I said, ‘I'm going to [JH1] win today’. That’s just the mentality you come here with and it worked out in my favor. I haven't had that feeling in a long time and to come out here and get the win, that’s what means the most to all of us.”

In the opening round, Herrera, who had the first pick of opponents, got past Steve Johnson with an incredible run of 6.665 at 202.76. That set up a semifinal matchup with Maryland winner Angie Smith, but Herrera was again impressive, going 6.687 at 202.45 to advance to the final round.

Gadson left first with a strong .028 reaction time, but Herrera quickly tracked him down and rode off with another dominant performance en route to the victory.

“We were really quick, so I felt like I was the only one that could screw it up, but that didn’t happen. I gave away the last two finals to Richard, so I wasn’t about to give him a third,” Herrera said.

Gadson took down Chase Van Sant and Jianna Evaristo to reach the Callout final round for a second straight year.

The Pro Stock Motorcycle category returns to action at the world’s biggest drag race, the Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA U.S. Nationals, which takes place Sept. 2-7 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.

VANDERGRIFF, KALITTA & VANG ROLL TO PROVISIONAL NO. 1 SPOTS, GET DEECELL AFTER DARK LOW QUALIFIER BONUS AT DENSO NHRA SONOMA NATIONALS

SONOMA, Calif. (July 17, 2026) – Funny Car’s Jordan Vandergriff made the quickest Funny Car run of the 2026 season on Friday in front of a huge Sonoma Raceway crowd, taking the provisional No. 1 qualifier spot for John Force Racing at the Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals presented by PowerEdge.

Doug Kalitta (Top Fuel) and Chris Vang (Pro Stock) are also the provisional No. 1 qualifiers in Sonoma at the 11th of 20 races during the 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season. After an oildown during the second Top Fuel session, racing was called for the night due to curfew.

Selections were also made in the opening round of the GETTRX Pro Stock Motorcycle All-Star Callout. Top seed Gaige Herrera selected Steve Johnson, Richard Gadson picked Chase Van Sant, reigning Callout winner Matt Smith chose Jianna Evaristo, setting Angie Smith and John Hall as the final pair.

Vandergriff went 3.849-seconds at 332.43 mph in his 12,000-horsepower Cornwell Tools Chevrolet SS to also collect the $4,000 Deecell After Dark Low Qualifier bonus.

Remarkably, Vandergriff kicked off the epic night session as part of the first pair, making an incredible run just as the sun was setting. But the rest of the field couldn’t top the John Force Racing standout, putting Vandergriff in position to pick up his second career No. 1 qualifier.

Currently fifth in points, Vandergriff has enjoyed a strong first Funny Car season, but Friday’s run with a massive crowd on hand certainly one of the highlights for him.

“To be the quickest Funny Car of the year so far is a huge accomplishment, especially with how competitive this class is. And I’m a rookie—I don’t even know what I’m doing yet,” Vandergriff said. “We fumbled a little in Q1, but I knew we had something figured out. The early numbers looked really good, so I believed we were going to run quick no matter when we went down the track.

“I knew the team wanted to push a little. We’ve run well this year, we’ve won a race, we’ve qualified No. 1 before, but we hadn’t really leaned on it. Tonight we did. I knew we were going to run well. I just didn’t know we were going to run that good.”

Vandergriff’s teammate, Jack Beckman, went 3.873 at 333.16 to sit second and Daniel Wilkerson is right behind in third after going 3.899 at 327.66.

In Top Fuel, Kalitta made the quickest run in the opening qualifying session on speed, edging teammate Shawn Langdon with a run of 3.714 at 337.07 in his 12,000-horsepower Aflac dragster for Kalitta Motorsports.

The reigning world champion also picked up the $4,000 Deecell After Dark Low Qualifier bonus for the second straight year as he looks to pick up his third No. 1 qualifier of the year.

Kalitta has always run well at Sonoma, with his six wins – including a victory last year – leading the way in the Top Fuel ranks.

“That first run was definitely a close one. At the time, you don’t realize it’s going to hold up, but it was enough to get us the No. 1 spot,” Kalitta said. “It was disappointing not to get the second session in. Alan Johnson definitely didn’t have that car tuned to run a 3.71 — we were planning to throw down something even quicker.

“Tomorrow’s conditions should be just as good, maybe even better. I think we’ll have a chance to improve on those numbers. It’s Sonoma, one of my favorite tracks. Every time we go up there, we’re trying to do the best job we can.”

Points leader Langdon is second with a 3.714 at 336.49 and Tony Stewart is third after going 3.736 at 333.91.

In a stunning turn of events in Pro Stock, Chris Vang performed better than an impressive list of event winners and world champions on Friday in Sonoma, taking the provisional No. 1 spot for the first time in his career with a run of 6.498 at 209.04 in his Prestige Trailers Chevrolet Camaro.

It hands the young second-year racer the $2,500 Deecell After Dark Low Qualifier bonus, as well as puts him in a prime position to earn the $2,000 GESi Pro Stock No. 1 Qualifier on Saturday. That would mean a great deal to the part-time racer who is making just his fourth start of the 2026.

But he made the most of his opportunities on Friday in prime conditions at Sonoma, making a pair of great runs, outlasting the stars in the class to possibly pick up a massive career milestone.

“It’s exciting. Pretty amazing. I don’t even know how to describe it. We came in here just hoping to qualify, and now we’re sitting No. 1,” Vang said. “We knew we had something to work with after the first session. We threw a little more at it, hoping to run in the 6.50s or maybe the high .49s, and we ended up right where we wanted.

“This bonus helps a lot. We’re trying to run about seven more races this season, and every little bit matters for a team like ours. We didn’t get everything out of that run. It was really good, but there’s still more in it.”

Rookie Cody Anderson was the only other driver to dip into the 6.40s, going 6.499 at 210.54 and Erica Enders is third after a run of 6.503 at 211.33.

M. Smith earned the $1,500 Deecell After Dark Low Qualifier bonus in Pro Stock Motorcycle for making the quickest run during Friday’s second time trial.

Qualifying continues at 12 p.m. PT on Saturday at the Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals presented by PowerEdge at Sonoma Raceway. The first round of the GETTRX Pro Stock Motorcycle All-Star Callout begins at 11:30 a.m.
