The NHRA Breakfast returns to the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, spotlighting the Funny Car title fight. It runs November 4, 7:30–9 a.m., at Westgate, Ballrooms A and B.
Matt Hagan, Ron Capps, J.R. Todd, and rookie Jordan Vandergriff headline the panel. NHRA on FOX announcer Brian Lohnes moderates, steering analysis of form, momentum, and strategy before Pomona.
NHRA Breakfast returns November 4 at Westgate Las Vegas, 7:30–9 a.m., free to registered SEMA attendees.
The session complements the wider SEMA program, connecting race narratives with industry stakeholders. It also offers fans a rare, candid window into decision-making during a pressure-heavy Countdown stretch.
Hagan holds the points lead in the Funny Car world title chase after a decisive playoff surge. Capps and Todd, with eight combined titles, offer benchmarks on execution and consistency.
Vandergriff’s rookie campaign is the disruptor. Three wins with John Force Racing, second in points, and evident composure under pressure make him a credible challenger rather than a supporting storyline.
Hagan’s late-season surge overturned Capps’ long-held regular-season lead during the Countdown.
Collectively, the quartet owns 11 wins and 18 finals in 2026, underlining competitive density. The regular-season narrative flipped when Hagan overhauled Capps during the Countdown, while Todd maintained top-five stability.
For Capps, early-season authority still matters. Banking points and process through summer, including a Texas semifinal, preserved margin for error and provides a test case for handling late-year performance swings.
The breakfast runs free for all registered SEMA attendees, with a grab-and-go continental service. An autograph session follows at 10 a.m. at the NHRA Booth (#22331) on the show floor.
Autograph signing with Hagan, Capps, Todd, and Vandergriff at NHRA Booth #22331 begins at 10 a.m.
Expect light engagement alongside analysis. Trivia and NHRA prize packs include tickets for the season finale, adding stakes to a morning designed to preview the final stretch.
Attention then shifts to the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals at Pomona, November 12–15. Titles will be settled over four days at a venue steeped in the sport’s history.
The 2026 SEMA Show runs November 3–6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, anchoring the aftermarket’s biggest annual showcase and providing a timely platform for motorsport’s title-defining narratives.
