- Jasmine Salinas takes provisional No. 1 at Pacific Raceways qualifying
- Salinas clocked 3.794 seconds at 328.38 mph in Top Fuel class

Jasmine Salinas took provisional No. 1 on Friday at Pacific Raceways, advancing toward her first career top qualifier at the Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Northwest Nationals, round 12 of 20.
Her 3.794-second, 328.38-mph pass in the 12,000-horsepower Valley Services dragster followed a runner-up last week, underlining speed that is beginning to translate into repeatable execution.
Recent form includes eliminating points leader Shawn Langdon and Leah Pruett at Sonoma before losing the final to Doug Kalitta, a sequence that strengthened confidence entering Seattle’s demanding surface.
Salinas leads Top Fuel with 3.794 seconds at 328.38 mph.
Salinas credited a move to Indiana five years ago, enabling full-time focus with Scrappers Racing. She calls Top Fuel her most challenging class, yet points to clear, incremental gains.
The depth is obvious. Antron Brown ran 3.798 at 329.67, with Doug Kalitta close at 3.802 and 331.69, leaving minimal margin ahead of Saturday’s pivotal sessions.
In Funny Car, two-time champion Cruz Pedregon posted a 3.926 at 325.61 in his Snap-On Tools Dodge Hellcat SRT, building on momentum from Sonoma as he chases consistent execution.
Pedregon highlighted a 130-degree track, demanding a conservative setup that still released performance. He also targets a maiden Pacific Raceways victory and the 75th-anniversary Diamond Wally.
Cruz Pedregon’s 3.926 earns Funny Car provisional No. 1 despite 130-degree track temperatures.
Alexis DeJoria’s 3.955 and Austin Prock’s 3.960 underline early Funny Car competitiveness, suggesting gains are available if conditions cool and traction improves on Saturday.
Pro Stock swung back toward reigning champion Dallas Glenn, whose RAD Torque Systems Camaro produced 6.527 at 210.34 at his home event, echoing form seen after his GETTRX victory.
Rookie Cody Anderson held second, with Sonoma winner Greg Stanfield third after Friday, leaving Glenn expecting cooler air to push times lower during Saturday’s final attempts.
Dallas Glenn leads Pro Stock at 6.527 seconds and expects cooler Saturday conditions to quicken the field.
Qualifying continues Saturday afternoon, where crews will adjust clutch strategies and power delivery for cooler track conditions during this crucial stretch of the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season.
