Shawn Langdon and DHL Top Fuel Team Ready to Make it Happen at Vegas Four-Wide Nationals

Las Vegas, NV – After the first three races at the start of the season 2013 Top Fuel world champion Shawn Langdon is ready to start building some momentum. The DHL Toyota Top Fuel dragster team is looking to the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals as the perfect race and location to turn their luck around. Langdon along with his Toyota teammates J.R. Todd, Antron Brown and Alexis DeJoria will meet with the media in advance of the Las Vegas NHRA national event to talk about their wildly popular “Hangover” themed Toyota social media campaign which launcher earlier this season.

“This weekend will be a great time to start building some consistency,” said Langdon. “We will get four qualifying runs which will be great to get that data and then on Sunday the racing should be really competitive. There are a lot of tough race teams out here that are in the same position as us. This is a great opportunity for this DHL Toyota Top Fuel team to make some good runs and go rounds on Sunday.”

Langdon has had success in the four-wide racing format picking up his first career Funny Car win in 2019 racing a Toyota Funny Car at the Charlotte Four-Wide Nationals. Later that same season he picked up his second Funny Car win at the St Louis Midwest Nationals. In his Top Fuel career Langdon has collected fifteen national event wins.

“I would love to add a Top Fuel four-wide win to my record,” said Langdon. “The key will be to come off the trailer and make a couple good runs on Friday. We can build on that information on Saturday to go into race day with a solid strategy. I have a lot of confidence in this DHL Toyota Top Fuel team and we will be ready to get after it this weekend.”

Qualifying for the Las Vegas Four-Wide Nationals will begin with two sessions on Friday at 1:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. followed by two more session on Saturday. Final eliminations will start at noon on Sunday with the race being televised on FS1 nationally.
