Chad Green targets another step forward at the 13th NHRA New England Nationals, presented by bproauto, at New England Dragway this weekend.
The Funny Car contender arrives with two 2026 victories and third in points. He also closes on 100 career Funny Car starts, as his Mustang debuts bproauto branding.
The meeting marks New England Dragway’s 60th anniversary and the eighth round of NHRA’s 75th season. Local knowledge and a loyal fanbase often influence execution and race-day rhythm.
“The brand fits perfectly with the NHRA fanbase. Our goal is to put the CGM bproauto machine in the winner’s circle.” — Chad Green
Green’s 12,000-horsepower bproauto/Chad Green Motorsports Mustang benefits from late-2025 gains that now translate into repeatable performance. The crew’s cohesion has tightened tuning windows and improved turnaround discipline.
“Our car is running really well, and I have the best team I’ve ever had. We just want to keep winning,” Green says, underlining confidence built on process and data quality.
The event celebrates New England Dragway’s 60th year and NHRA’s 75th season, adding historical weight to an already pivotal mid-season round.
Opposition remains fierce. Defending winner J.R. Todd, four-time champion Matt Hagan, Jordan Vandergriff, and back-to-back world champion Austin Prock shape a deep field. Prock’s recent Maryland form underscores the benchmark.
Further pressure comes from proven winners, including Jack Beckman and Alexis DeJoria, whose recent qualifying pace highlights raw potential if race-day execution aligns.
Final eliminations air Sunday at 3 p.m. ET, with live coverage across FS1 and FOX.
Green enters tied on two wins with points leader Ron Capps. A third win would signal sustained competitiveness and sharpen title prospects at mid-season.
The weekend offers full fan access. Friday qualifying includes a commemorative flag giveaway, while pit passes, the Track Walk, and a prominent winner’s circle maintain engagement throughout.
Elsewhere, Top Fuel’s Shawn Langdon pursues a fourth straight win against Doug Kalitta, Tony Stewart, Justin Ashley, Leah Pruett, and Antron Brown. In Pro Stock, Greg Anderson heads a pack chasing leader Dallas Glenn.
Program notes: qualification runs land Friday and Saturday, with Sunday eliminations. Expect comprehensive television coverage across FS1 and FOX, including qualifying highlights and race-day features.
Green and Capps each hold two wins in 2026, setting a clear target for supremacy at Epping.
