NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

Pro Stock points leader Dallas Glenn is ready for his home race at Pacific Raceways for this weekend’s 35th annual NHRA Northwest Nationals.

Glenn, originally from Covington, Wash., will take on all the top names in the Pro Stock field at the NHRA Northwest Nationals as the category returns to Seattle after a year away. Glenn, for one, is ready to return to the scenic facility in his RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro for the fan-favorite event in the Pacific Northwest.

“I grew up one exit down from Pacific Raceways, so to get a win here would be really awesome,” Glenn said. “I don't know if I would call it extra pressure for what I'm feeling coming into racing at my first home track, but I would definitely call it excitement.”

Glenn currently leads the points thanks to his two wins in Pomona and Chicago and three runner-up finishes during the 2024 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season. His teammate Greg Anderson sits in second, thanks to his two wins in 2024. Reigning champion Erica Enders is currently third, while Aaron Stanfield is fourth, thanks to his back-to-back wins in Richmond and Norwalk. 

“I think we can attribute our success so far this season to just building off our awesome season last year,” said Glenn. “I know we didn't end up as high as we wanted in the points last year after leading the majority of the regular season, but it gave me something to work towards this season. I want to lead the points, but I also want to make sure I'm doing what I can to put myself in a better position for the Countdown [to the Championship] to bring home that championship at the end of the year.”

In 2023, Steve Torrence (Top Fuel), Tim Wilkerson (Funny Car), and Gaige Herrera (Pro Stock Motorcycle) claimed victories in Seattle. This year’s race will again be broadcast on FS1 and the FOX, including eliminations on FOX at 4 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 21. It marks the 11th of 20 races during the 2024 NHRA season, kicking off the second half of the season, as the weekend in Seattle will feature all four Pro classes for the first time in history and the popular Mission #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge specialty race on Saturday.

Glenn made it his goal to compete in all Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenges in 2024, a feat he has achieved thus far. With his runner-up finish to Stanfield in Norwalk, he’ll again be entered into the Challenge, hoping for a win in the specialty race on Saturday.

Glenn will meet up with Mason McGaha for a rematch of the Norwalk semifinals, while Stanfield will again take on Cristian Cuadra.

“I love having another race day on Saturday for the Mission #2Fast2Tasty event,” Glenn said. “I feel like it gives me another opportunity to get up on the wheel, and it only benefits me for the actual race day on Sunday.”

NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series qualifying will feature two rounds at 3:30 p.m. and 8:15 PT on Friday, July 19 and two rounds of qualifying on Saturday, July 20 at 1:30 and 3:45 p.m. Final eliminations are scheduled for 10:30 a.m. PT on Sunday, July 21. Television coverage includes qualifying action on FS1 at 10:30 p.m. ET on Friday, 1 p.m. on Sunday, and then eliminations on FOX at 4 p.m. ET on Sunday.
