The final qualifying round at the Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals showcased a competitive Pro Stock field, led by Greg Anderson of KB Titan Racing. Anderson’s impressive performance secured him the No. 1 qualifier position for the eighth time this season, marking the 140th of his career. After struggling in earlier rounds, he confidently clocked a personal best of 6.572 seconds in the fourth session, earning six bonus points.

Anderson is in a tight championship battle with Dallas Glenn, who held a 60-point lead ahead of this event. Their rivalry has intensified throughout the season, with both drivers regularly meeting in finals. However, in Las Vegas, Aaron Stanfield broke their pattern by qualifying between them. Anderson emphasized the importance of winning this race to keep his championship hopes alive, stating, “I have to win the event; it’s that simple for me.”

Anderson’s first-round match will be against Troy Coughlin Jr., while Glenn faces off against veteran Dave Connolly. The exciting eliminations promise fierce races, especially given the close points battle between Anderson and Glenn. Notably, the event also honors Ken Black, a key figure in KB Racing’s history, adding an emotional layer to the competition. Final eliminations are set to begin at 11 a.m. PT, underscoring the stakes as each racer aims for victory in this critical season event.
