July 25, 2025
SEATTLE (July 20, 2025) – Top Fuel’s Shawn Langdon moved past Tony Stewart into the points lead on Sunday at Pacific Raceways, defeating Brittany Force in the final round of the Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Northwest Nationals.

Matt Hagan (Funny Car), Dallas Glenn (Pro Stock) and Gaige Herrera (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also won the 11th of 20 races during the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season.

Langdon went 3.662 seconds at 337.07 mph in his 12,000 horsepower Kalitta Air Careers dragster to race past Force, picking up his third win of the season for Kalitta Motorsports and the 22nd in his career. On a crucial points day, Langdon defeated Cam Ferre and Tony Stewart earlier in the day en route to his first career win at Pacific Raceways.

Funny Car’s Matt Hagan cashed in with a win on Sunday in Seattle for Tony Stewart Racing, finishing off a strong day with a run of 3.904 at 331.94 in his 12,000 horsepower Direct Connection Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat to slip past Ron Capps. Hagan had been consistent for the bulk of the season but had zero wins to show for it, until Sunday.

In Pro Stock, Dallas Glenn can finally lay claim to a win at his home track, picking up his first career victory at Pacific Raceways in his RAD Torque Systems Camaro when Jeg Coughlin Jr. went red in the final round. Glenn, who earned the GESi No. 1 Qualifier Award, struggled off the starting line as well, but was the beneficiary of Coughlin’s early start, picking up his fourth win this season and the 17th in his young career.

Pro Stock Motorcycle’s Gaige Herrera continues to rack up NHRA records, becoming the quickest competitor to reach 25 career wins in NHRA history after going a track-record 6.690 at 201.55 on his RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Suzuki to defeat Richard Gadson. Herrera reached the milestone victory in just his 43rd career start as the two-time world champion continues to rack up wins at a record and historic rate.
The NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series returns July 25-27 with the 37th annual Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals presented by PowerEdge at Sonoma Raceway.
