Kalitta Motorsports shined as it swept the entirety of the western swing of the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Mission Foods Drag Racing Series at Pacific Raceways in Kent, Washington.
NHRA Northwest Nationals Results
J.R. Todd won his first race of the season in Funny Car and Doug Kalitta in Top Fuel continued to show his class as he won his third event this year.
Dallas Glenn, a Kentwood High School graduate, once again ran well at his home race at the NHRA Muckleshoot Casino Northwest Nationals but came up short in the ladder, failing to reach the finals for the first time in three years.
Glenn won his home race last year for the first time in his career and he has been the best Pro Stock driver since. He set the Pro Stock track record last season and still holds that record.
Top Fuel saw just two times under 3.70 through qualifying which was both Billy Torrence and Josh Hart who are seventh and eighth in the Mission Foods Drag Racing standings.
Todd took the top spot heading into the elimination rounds. Todd was fifth in the points and the current point leader Ron Capps saw his weekend end early as the 32-year veteran couldn’t get out of the first round after finishing 10th in qualifying.
Kalitta beat Puyallup’s Shawn Reed who had his best race of the weekend (3.694-331.12 mph) next to Kalitta but didn’t have enough to beat the 2025 champion.
