Prock, Anderson, and Herrera are the leaders in their respective divisions, while Justin Ashley, Shawn Langdon, and Tony Stewart share the favorites role in Top Fuel.

If the bet works out, the player will receive a total payout of $300; $200 profit + $100 initial stake.)

TOP FUEL

How close is the competition in Top Fuel these days? It’s close enough that there are three favorites to win this weekend’s Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Northwest Nationals in Seattle and several other drivers who are ranked closely behind. 

Justin Ashley, Shawn Langdon, and Tony Stewart share the favorites role at +550, meaning a $10 bet would return $65.00. The three favorites have plenty of company at the top as Doug Kalitta, Brittany Force, Antron Brown, and Clay Millican can each be had at odds between +600 and +700, meaning the top seven drivers in the class are separated by just a few percentage points when it comes to wagering. 

The odds make sense because there have been seven different winners in the first 10 events of the season, and there are several others poised to become the eighth member of that club. In terms of long shots, there is Shawn Reed at +900, Josh Hart opened at +1,200, while Ida Zetterström is at +2,000 and Cameron Ferre is at +5,000.

FUNNY CAR

John Force Racing teammates Austin Prock and Jack Beckman are the favorites once again in Funny Car because they’ve combined to win 60% of the events held so far in 2025. Prock, who has four wins, is the favorite at +280, while Beckman, with wins in Pomona and Chicago, is a close second at +450. 

While Prock and Beckman have somewhat separated themselves from the rest of the field, the competition in Funny Car is still quite close. Paul Lee and Bob Tasca III are the third-ranked drivers at +900, while Spencer Hyde comes in at +1,000, and J.R. Todd and Matt Hagan are priced at +1,100. Gainesville champ Chad Green and Bristol winner Ron Capps opened at +1,200, while Daniel Wilkerson, still seeking his first win, has odds of +1,400.

There are a few attractively priced long shots in the 17-car field, and they include rookie Hunter Green at +1,800 and a resurgent Cruz Pedregon at +2,000, a price he shares with Alexis DeJoria.

PRO STOCK

Not much has changed lately in Pro Stock as KB Titan Racing teammates Greg Anderson and Dallas Glenn share the top spot at +320 and +350, respectively. Anderson and Glenn are favored, but recent Norwalk winner Cory Reed is also lurking in the third spot with a solid price of +900, with Aaron Stanfield sharing the same odds.

Erica Enders has shown signs of emerging from a lengthy drought, and if she should win in Seattle, a bettor can collect a +1,100 price. Jeg Coughlin Jr., Matt Hartford, and Deric Kramer are also in the mix at +1,200.

One very interesting long shot option is Matt Latino, who is subbing for his father, Eric. Latino, a contender for the NHRA Rookie of the Year award, has a +2,500 price, and he’s already been impressive in his brief career with a handful of round-wins. There are 18 Pro Stock cars headed for Seattle, which means qualifying will be of the utmost importance.

PRO STOCK MOTORCYCLE

Gaige Herrera has dominated the Pro Stock Motorcycle class this season, but he’s not unbeatable, as the most recent event winner is John Hall. Regardless, Herrera is the biggest favorite on the board at -150, which means a $10 bet returns $16.66. Second-ranked Matt Smith opens at +300, while Richard Gadson, the Bristol champ, is at +500.

Beyond the top three favorites, Angie Smith and defending Seattle winner Chase Van Sant represent solid value at +1,600. Wise bettors might also be tempted to take a look at Norwalk winner John Hall, who can be had for +2,500 should he repeat.
