The semifinal becomes a battle of execution. Glenn launches at .011 to Anderson’s .039 and converts, 6.556 to 6.548, the margin effectively decided before sixty feet.

Dallas Glenn’s .011 launch beats Anderson’s .039, then he wins the event and the points lead.

For Anderson, the weekend still returns significant gains from qualifying and the bonus race, keeping momentum intact as the tour pivots toward Bristol.

Bristol carries weight. It hosted Anderson’s first career victory 25 years ago and now stages the 25th Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals on June 12-14.

The 25th Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals run June 12-14 at Bristol Dragway.

Consistency remains the theme. The HendrickCars.com entry repeatedly delivers class-leading pace, while incremental launch gains could translate into race-day control on Bristol’s demanding lane balance.

The New England Nationals also illustrate KB Titan Racing’s depth, with internal rivalry accelerating development across clutch management, gear selection, and drivability.

With three consecutive events complete, Anderson targets refinement over reinvention, aiming to convert qualifying supremacy into wins and reclaim the Pro Stock lead.
