Terry Haddock enters the Texas NHRA Fall Nationals with a patriotic Concho Supply Funny Car, marking the fourth Countdown round at the Texas Motorplex.

The New Braunfels-based driver treats this as a home event, with significant backing from local partners and supporters in attendance.

Concho Supply has underpinned the operation for nearly a decade, providing continuity as the program matures. Back-to-back Texas Invitational titles in 2023 and 2024 signpost that progress.

Form is encouraging. Haddock produced a career-best 3.959 seconds at 317.35 mph during the Great Lakes Nationals, opening the Countdown positively.

He defeated two-time champion Cruz Pedregon before a narrow loss to J.R. Todd, underlining the margins that define the Countdown.

Haddock stresses execution. Clean, repeatable runs and strong qualifying are the priorities for a smaller independent team operating against heavyweight outfits.

That context mirrors other independents, including Chris King, who rely on efficiency and discipline to convert limited track time into race-day gains.

Racing during the Stampede of Speed brings added visibility. The Pre-Stage Fanfest in Waxahachie on October 15 offers autographs, live music, and a relaxed setting before the pressure builds.

Haddock plans extended pit interactions through the weekend, leaning into fan engagement to reset mentally between sessions.

The sponsor roster is broad. Priority Systems Mechanical Services, Gearwrench, P&C Cable, Bowen Electric, Integrated Metal Products, Rodak Coffee, and Circle Racing Wheels all feature on the car.

For Concho Supply, distribution breadth matters. The company supports the team with access to clutches, brakes, and engine parts from ACDelco, GM Genuine Parts, and Sealed Power.

Objectives are clear at the Texas Motorplex: qualify inside a competitive window, secure lane choice, and translate that to measured Sunday progression.

Concho Supply CEO Keith Kincannon highlights shared values of dedication and family, reflecting a partnership that stabilizes the team’s competitive base.

With sponsor backing and momentum, Haddock targets consistent Countdown impact, aiming to turn home-track familiarity into incremental but meaningful gains.
