With his eye on a second consecutive NHRA world title, Pro Stock champion Dallas Glenn enters the 26th annual Mopar NHRA Las Vegas Nationals powered by Dodge at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the points lead and with momentum on his side.

The reigning Pro Stock world champion took over the points lead following his record-breaking win at the Texas NHRA FallNationals in his RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro. It was Glenn’s fifth win of the 2026 season and first of the Countdown to the Championship playoffs. As the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season comes to a close, Glenn is focused on another Las Vegas win and extending his points lead.

“I feel like ever since the championship last year, I've kind of just been a lot calmer and more relaxed,” Glenn said. “I feel like this time last year, even though I had a pretty good points lead at this point, I was still pretty nervous and felt like I had a lot of pressure on me, but this year, I just feel super calm, relaxed, like I'm just up there clicking off time runs and just trying to do the best that I can.”

Glenn won last year’s Mopar NHRA Las Vegas Nationals powered by Dodge along with Brittany Force (Top Fuel), Matt Hagan (Funny Car), and Gaige Herrera (Pro Stock Motorcycle). The 2026 race will be broadcast on FS1, with elimination coverage beginning at 5 p.m. ET on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Glenn and the other stars of the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series know how crucial a strong performance in Las Vegas can be with a world championship on the line. With only two events remaining in 2026, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

“Anytime you can go up there and try to cut down on that lead is what you try to do every single weekend. Then, you just try to just keep doing that every week and eventually you'll end up on top,” Glenn said.

Following his Texas NHRA FallNationals win, Glenn, who made the quickest run in Pro Stock history in Dallas with a stellar pass of 6.434 seconds, currently leads Elite Motorsports standout Greg Stanfield by 14 points. The Elite Motorsports camp won the first three events of the Countdown, but Glenn is looking to carry his momentum into the final two races of the playoffs.

“To be able to take the points lead into Vegas definitely makes all the hard work and blood, sweat, and tears that we've put in the last few weeks worth it,” Glenn said.

NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series qualifying will feature two rounds at 12:45 and 3:30 p.m. PT on Friday, Oct. 30, followed by the final two rounds on Saturday, Oct. 31 at 12 and 2:30 p.m. Final eliminations are scheduled for 11 a.m. PT on Sunday, Nov. 1. Television coverage includes qualifying action on FS1 at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, followed by eliminations at 5 p.m. ET.
