Pro Stock’s Glenn Triumphs at NHRA New England Nationals; TF, FC Finals Moved to Bristol

Dallas Glenn wins his third 2026 race at New England Dragway, defeating Matt Hartford in the Pro Stock final. Rain postpones Top Fuel and Funny Car finals to Bristol.

The bproauto-presented event is interrupted by persistent showers, compressing schedules and shifting decisive runs to Friday at Bristol Dragway. Further context appears in our NHRA New England Nationals report, including schedule changes.

Glenn delivers a .002-light and a 6.543-second pass at 209.39 mph in his RAD Torque Systems Camaro. Qualifying fifth, he defeats Shane Tucker, Erica Enders, and No. 1 Greg Anderson.

The semi-final against Anderson hinges on a holeshot, Glenn reacting in .011. That execution underscores his current strength in the lane and the car’s repeatability under pressure.

The win is Glenn’s first at New England Dragway and his 24th in Pro Stock. He already triumphed at Phoenix and Valdosta, building a 39-point championship buffer over Greg Anderson.

Crew chief Dave Connolly refines the setup as temperatures and track grip evolve. The Camaro gains pace through eliminations, giving Glenn margin to manage the tree and the finish line.

Hartford reaches his third final of 2026, beating Deric Kramer, Eric Latino, and Greg Stanfield. His route reflects baseline performance, though starting-line deficits continue to shape his ceiling on Sundays.

Top Fuel’s final will run at Bristol, matching points leader Shawn Langdon against Leah Pruett. Langdon qualifies first and advances past Clay Millican and Doug Kalitta, extending three-race winning streak.

Pruett reaches the final after defeating Scott Farley, Maddi Gordon, and Billy Torrence, reflecting improved race-day balance noted in our Pruett and Hagan coverage earlier this weekend.

Funny Car also moves to Bristol, where Jordan Vandergriff meets Jack Beckman.

Vandergriff, No. 1 qualifier, defeats Jeff Arend, Chad Green, and J.R. Todd. Beckman advances by beating Phil Burkhart, Matt Hagan, and Ron Capps.

The Mission Foods Drag Racing Series continues with the 25th Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals from June 12–14 at Bristol. The postponed finals will run during that weekend’s program.

Pro Stock’s broader sponsorship picture continues to evolve, highlighted by recent small-tire initiatives that underscore the class’s pipeline and marketing relevance.
