ENNIS, TX – Funny Car points leader Austin Prock rolled to his ninth win of the season on Sunday at Texas Motorplex for John Force Racing, defeating Ron Capps in the final round of the 40th annual Texas NHRA FallNationals.

Doug Kalitta (Top Fuel), Dallas Glenn (Pro Stock) and Richard Gadson (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also won the 18th of 20 races during the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season, as all four points leaders celebrated victories at the fourth of six races in the Countdown to the Championship playoffs.

Prock went 3.959-seconds at 328.30 mph in his 12,000-horsepower Cornwell Tools Chevrolet SS, powering past Capps’ run of 4.405 at 199.80 to move a step closer to his second straight world championship. It’s Prock’s ninth win of the season and the 21st in his career, as well as his first career victory at the famed Texas Motorplex.

After starting the weekend just 20 points ahead of Matt Hagan, who fell in the first round, Prock had a remarkable answer in Dallas, making the quickest run in every round of eliminations and the last three rounds of qualifying. His points lead now stands at 112 points over Hagan with two races remaining. Continue reading →

ENNIS, TX – Top Fuel’s Shawn Langdon made the quickest run on Friday at Texas Motorplex, racing to the provisional No. 1 spot at the 40th annual Texas NHRA FallNationals and earning the $15,000 bonus check as part of “JEGS Friday Night Live.”

Austin Prock (Funny Car), Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) and Richard Gadson (Pro Stock Motorcycle) are also provisional No. 1 qualifiers at the 18th of 20 races during the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season and the fourth of six races in the Countdown to the Championship playoffs.

ENNIS, TX – Reigning Pro Stock world champion Greg Anderson earned another win two weeks ago in St. Louis and as the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series heads to Dallas for the 40th annual Texas NHRA FallNationals at the famed Texas Motorplex to close out the Stampede of Speed, he has his eye on another Dallas win and, potentially, another world title.

Anderson, the winningest Pro Stock driver in NHRA history, has 112 event wins to his credit, including most recently at World Wide Technology Raceway when he won the third race of the Countdown to the Championship playoffs.

ENNIS, TX – Fresh off a win in St. Louis that has him right in the thick of the championship hunt, nobody is looking forward to returning to Texas Motorplex more than Funny Car standout Matt Hagan.

The four-time champ has enjoyed an incredible run at the legendary track, which plays host to the main event of the Stampede of Speed, this weekend’s 40th annual Texas NHRA FallNationals. Hagan is the back-to-back event winner of the crucial playoff race, but that’s only the start of his run of success in Dallas.

Hagan has advanced to the finals the last six years, dating back to 2019 when he picked up the victory. The veteran for Tony Stewart Racing has won five times overall at Texas Motorplex, which always bodes well for world title chances during the Countdown to the Championship.

Hagan closed the gap to 20 points on reigning world champ Austin Prock with his St. Louis triumph and with his track record of success at the Texas NHRA FallNationals, Hagan is eager to get back to work this weekend in his 12,000-horsepower Johnson’s Horsepowered Garage Dodge//SRT Hellcat.
