NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

As the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series enters its final stretch of the regular season, the intensity continues to build during NHRA’s 75th anniversary season at the 37th annual Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Northwest Nationals. This year’s trip to the scenic Pacific Raceways will see the return of a traditional schedule of two qualifying sessions on Friday and two on Saturday. The biggest names on the NHRA tour will head to Seattle, as the scenic Pacific Northwest facility provides an incredible backdrop to the 12,000 horsepower, 340-mph nitro-burning machines.

With just three events left during NHRA’s regular season, drivers will look to put on a show to pick up an NHRA Diamond Wally on Sunday as part of NHRA’s milestone campaign. The weekend kicks off Friday, July 24 with a pair of afternoon qualifying sessions to thrill the fans, while Saturday includes two more afternoon sessions, as well as the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge in Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock. That leads into raceday on Sunday, as all the top names look to pick up a coveted Seattle victory. This year’s event will also feature several 75th anniversary items, including:

Last year’s winners in Seattle included Shawn Langdon (Top Fuel), Matt Hagan (Funny Car) and Dallas Glenn (Pro Stock). Langdon, Austin Prock and Glenn also earned Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge wins. This year’s race will be broadcast on FOX and FS1, with elimination coverage beginning at 4 p.m. ET on FOX on Sunday, July 26.

Langdon has been dominant in 2026, winning four races so far and advancing to seven final rounds. He has a commanding lead over his teammate and reigning world champion Doug Kalitta in second. Others to look for in Seattle will be Epping winner Leah Pruett, rookie standout and Norwalk winner Maddi Gordon, Bristol winner Antron Brown and motorsports legend and Winternationals winner Tony Stewart.

Matt Hagan has won twice in 2026, including victories at Bristol and the historic 1,000th NHRA Funny Car race at the Winternationals. Hagan is currently second in points behind three-time world champ Ron Capps, who has three wins on the season – including most recently in Norwalk. Other Seattle winners include Jack Beckman and reigning world champion Austin Prock, who has wins in both nitro classes.

Reigning Pro Stock world champion Dallas Glenn grew up racing at Pacific Raceways and won his event in Seattle last season when he took down five-time world champ Jeg Coughlin and shattered track records. Glenn leads the points after earning three wins this season, while his KB Titan Racing teammate and six-time champ Greg Anderson is second, with Matt Hartford in third thanks to three wins this season.
