Pro Stock points leader Dallas Glenn picked up his third win of the season on Sunday at New England Dragway, defeating Matt Hartford in the final round of the NHRA New England Nationals presented by bproauto. 

The final rounds in both Top Fuel and Funny Car were postponed due to weather and will be completed on Friday in Bristol. 

The Top Fuel finals in Bristol will feature points leader Shawn Langdon, who has won three straight races, and Leah Pruett, while John Force Racing teammates Jordan Vandergriff and Jack Beckman will meet in the Funny Car championship round. 

Glenn, the reigning world champion, put together a near-perfect final round against Hartford before the rain came, posting a brilliant .002 reaction time and a run of 6.543 at 209.39 in his RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro. 

The points leader enjoyed a tremendous day, picking up round wins against Shane Tucker, Erica Enders and No. 1 qualifier Greg Anderson to reach the final round, posting a .011 reaction time against Anderson to pull off the holeshot victory. He was even better on the starting line against Hartford, rolling to his first career victory at New England Dragway. 

It’s also his third victory of the 2026 season after previous wins in Phoenix and Valdosta, giving the young standout 24 career Pro Stock victories. The car wasn’t dominant in qualifying, as Glenn took the fifth spot, but things worked out perfectly on Sunday to stay in command in the category. All three of Glenn’s wins this season have marked his first career victory at the track. 

“Dave [Connolly, the crew chief] said the track was going to run better if it held and he was going to be aggressive. I hit the tree pretty good the round before, so I left everything alone. The car felt great, and we just kept picking away at it all day, making it a little better every run,” Glenn said. “When I got out of the car, I asked, ‘Was I at least double-oh something?’ I had no idea it was .002. I knew Matt was going to be fast, so I knew I needed to get enough on the tree to get around him. Historically, this hasn’t been one of my better tracks, but Dave and the team kept working on the car and we found enough to get the job done. 

“Phoenix was a track I’d never won at until this year. I’d never won here until today. Now we’re heading to Bristol, another place I haven’t won yet. Hopefully we can keep checking them off the list.” 

Hartford advanced to his third final round this season and the 24th in his career thanks to round wins against Deric Kramer, Eric Latino and Greg Stanfield. Glenn’s lead now stands at 39 points over Anderson. 

In Top Fuel, Langdon, the No. 1 qualifier and points leader, will have a chance to win his fourth straight race when he takes on Pruett in the final round on Friday in Bristol. 

Langdon beat Clay Millican and teammate Doug Kalitta on Sunday, while Pruett advanced to the finals with wins against Scott Farley, Maddi Gordon and Billy Torrence. 

Funny Car No. 1 qualifier Jordan Vandergriff defeated Jeff Arend, Chad Green and J.R. Todd to reach the championship round, while his JFR teammate Beckman took down Phil Burkhart, Matt Hagan and Ron Capps to advance to the finals.
