Langdon on Denver: “It feels fantastic to get to turn on some win lights and get to the semifinals; we’re very excited to get to Seattle. The guys on this SealMaster team have worked so hard all season, and it’s nice for them to see all their hard work pay off. I’m looking forward to racing in the Mission Foods#2fast2Tasty challenge in Seattle because we want to win it, but also because it has valuable playoff points.

“It was awesome to have all three Kalitta cars in the semifinals. We’ve all struggled at times throughout the year so to be able to have all three in the semifinals at one race was a great feeling. We’re very excited to get to Seattle to hopefully keep this progress going.”

Next Race: Team Kalitta will be back in action July 21-23, 2023 at the Flav-R-Pac NHRA Northwest Nationals near Seattle. For additional information, please visit www.nhra.com. For additional information on Kalitta Motorsports, please visit www.teamkalitta.com.
