TONY STEWART, AUSTIN PROCK & DALLAS GLENN GET WINS AT NHRA 4-WIDE NATIONALS
– “Smoke” rolls to first career TF win
– Prock gets first FC victory of season
– Glenn wins PS final on holeshot
LAS VEGAS (April 13, 2025) – Racing legend Tony Stewart picked up his
first career NHRA Top Fuel win on Sunday at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor
Speedway, defeating a quad that included reigning world champion Antron
Brown, Jasmine Salinas and Justin Ashley at the 25th annual NHRA 4-Wide
Nationals.
Austin Prock (Funny Car) and Dallas Glenn (Pro Stock) also won the
fourth of 20 races during the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series
season.
Stewart went 3.870-seconds at 317.42 mph in his 11,000-horsepower Rayce
Rudeen Foundation Dodge//SRT dragster to hold off Brown at the finish
line, claiming his first career victory in the Top Fuel ranks and adding
to the Hall of Famer’s long list of accolades. The former world
champion in the NASCAR and IndyCar ranks won NHRA Rookie of the Year
honors a year ago, and then went to the final round two weeks ago in
Pomona before racing to the victory on Sunday in Las Vegas.
The team had performed well early in the season and then added to it in
Las Vegas, qualifying fifth and then winning both of the first two quads
on holeshots. He quickly tracked down Ashley and then Salinas, getting
by Brown just before the finish line to claim a memorable win. He’s
now won at every track on the property at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor
Speedway and Stewart was certainly thrilled with Sunday’s result.
“It’s unreal. I haven’t been around the NHRA that long and I realize
it takes a long time to win a race in this series, but everything in my
career, I never had to wait over a year to win a race. I always figured
it out in the first year, and multiple ones normally, so I’m just very
appreciative of this win,” Stewart said.
“Last year was so stressful after Leah (Pruett, wife) almost won a
world championship, and I get in the car last year, and the people in
the stands think I’m the reason the car sucks. It wasn’t that we had bad
people tuning on it, it was just it was a different combination. There
were different variables that change my body weight is different, tubing
changes from rules changes but it was still really frustrating we could
not get on a path to where we could make gains last year.
“I think probably the one thing that may not sink in as much right
now, but when Leah brought [son] Dom up on the stage there, that’s an
emotion that you can’t even think about or dream of. When I saw her
coming up those steps with him, my heart stopped. That was a feeling
I’ve never had in my life before, and I have a feeling when we lay down
and put my head on a pillow tonight, that’s going to be the one thing
that I want to reflect on the most tonight.”
Brown finished as the runner-up, going 3.912 at 302.35 in the final
round. Stewart moved up to second points with the historic victory,
while Shawn Langdon stayed as the leader in the category.
Defending Funny Car world champ Austin Prock returned to championship
form on Sunday in Las Vegas, picking up his first win of the season with
a run of 4.009 at 316.01 in his 12,000-horsepower Cornwell Tools
Chevrolet SS to hold off a quad that featured runner-up Paul Lee, Matt
Hagan and Dave Richards.
Prock dominated at Las Vegas in the fall to all but clinch his first
world championship, but the team made major changes on the car in the
off-season. It was a struggle to open the year, falling in the opening
round in Gainesville, but the team has slowly gained momentum and it was
capped off by a sterling performance in Vegas. He made the quickest run
in eliminations, going 3.964 at 322.88 in an impressive semifinal
victory and then finished it off with another terrific run in the
championship round.
“We haven’t had the success that we had last year, but we’re still the
same team,” Prock said. “We always expect to show up and win. We
want to go set low E.T. every round, and we want to win every race, so
when we’re not doing that, it’s hard to keep your head up when things
aren’t going right, especially when your expectations are so high. So,
for all of us to come together is great.
“It feels really good, man. Opening up in Gainesville, it just wasn’t a
great weekend and we just struggled in Pomona after a good weekend in
Phoenix, but just couldn’t put it all together. You just want to hold
one of these Wally [trophies] again because you don’t know how long it’s
going to take before you win another one.”
Lee finished as the runner-up thanks to his run of 4.042 at 311.77. It
his second final round of the year, as he jumped into the points lead as
well. Prock moved to third in points after winning for the second time
in Las Vegas.
In Pro Stock, Las Vegas continues to be very good to standout Dallas
Glenn, as he won against a final quad that featured points leader Greg
Anderson, Matt Hartford and Matt Latino on a holeshot, going 6.649 at
206.83 in his RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro to win for the second
time this season. It’s also his third victory at The Strip at Las
Vegas Motor Speedway, as Glenn used a strong .030 reaction time to hold
off Hartford, who finished second with a 6.638 at 205.85.
It’s the 15th career victory for Glenn and his third four-wide win as
well, as Glenn finished second in the opening-round quad before winning
the second-round quad with a run of 6.636 at 206.32. He’s been in
every final round this season and continued his hot start to the 2025
campaign, one that is shaping up very well for Glenn, a former NHRA
Rookie of the Year who finished second a year ago to Anderson.
“I’m really thrilled. Today was a very interesting day, I almost
completely blew it in the first round. I was staging, and when I fired
the car up my nose started to bleed, so I was dealing with that inside
the car,” Glenn said. “That was an issue.
“I don’t know what I was looking at, but I didn’t see lane two stage,
and just didn’t go on to the two-step until right before the tree came
down. I was way late, just dead late, and got lucky enough with the
horsepower to get the win. I still made a decent run going into second
round and then the clutch pedal felt weird on my foot when I went on to
the two-step and kind of overcompensated there.
“Then I go into the final and made sure that I held it down, and
probably held it down a little too hard. Greg was on his way to earning
his next one until the luck streak ended for him. But, you know, it’s a
good day. The car is working great. I didn’t do too bad, but, you know,
at the end, and you’ve only got to do good enough.”
Hartford recorded his first runner-up of the season, winning his quad
during the second round as well. Anderson will remain in the points lead
after four races, with Glenn right behind in second.
