NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

The fields are set for the Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals powered by Direct Connection and Sunday’s final eliminations are guaranteed to produce a lot of drama as championships remain up for grabs.

It’s not likely that any of the four pro titles will be decided on Sunday in Las Vegas but the final results could still go a long way towards deciding who will win 2025 Mission Foods NHRA championships.

In Top Fuel, Brittany Force is the top qualifier at 3.69 and as a result, she’ll have a bye run in the opening round as she competes in her final two events before vacating the seat of her Montster Energy/Chevrolet Accessories dragster.

Championship leader Doug Kalitta qualified No. 2 and will face Rob Passey in round one with a possible round two bye run on the table. Justin Ashley, one of Kalitta’s biggest challengers, finished No. 6 in the order and takes on Josh Hart in round one.

The Funny Car field is tough with championship leader Austin Prock on the pole at 3.885 with Jason Rupert on the bump with a competitive 4.025. Prock and Rupert will race in round one.

Jack Beckman and Matt Hagan joined Prock in the 3.8s and are second and third, respectively in the order. Beckman will take his PEAK Chevy up against Dave Richards in round one while Hagan, seeking his fifth world title, will race Cruz Pedregon.

The battle for the Pro Stock title got much more interesting on Saturday in Las Vegas as Greg Anderson secured the pole position and grabbed the majority of the qualifying bonus points in his HendrickCars.com Camaro. Anderson races Troy Coughlin Jr. in round one and is set up for a possible semifinal match against his teammate and championship rival Dallas Glenn, who kicked off eliminations with a tough battle against his crew chief, Dave Connolly.

Elite drive Aaron Stanfield broke up the KB Titan monopoly at the top of the charts with a 6.592 to qualify No. 2 and he’ll battle against David Cuadra in round one.

The race for the Pro Stock Motorcycle title is just as intriguing with two-time and defending champ Gaige Herrera picking away at teammate and incoming leader Richard Gadson. Herrera ran the table to qualify No. 1 and is slated to face Karen Stoffer in round one. Herrera could also face off in the semifinals against Gadson, who races Chris Bostick in round one.

Sunday’s action will also featured final eliminations and the crowning of a champion in the Congruity Pro Mod series and action in the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series sportsman series where at least two titles could be decided.
