Dallas Glenn ran 6.434 seconds at 213.50 mph in Saturday qualifying at Texas Motorplex, a pass NHRA called the quickest in Pro Stock history. A day later, he won the Texas NHRA FallNationals in Ennis, Texas. For Dallas Glenn, Pro Stock’s reigning world champion, the weekend also put him back on top of the points with two races left.
He did it in the RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro. The event ran October 14 to 18, 2026. It was the 18th of 20 races in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season.
Here is how the record run came together, how Sunday played out, and what the points look like now.
Dallas Glenn’s Pro Stock record run
Pro Stock had three qualifying sessions on Saturday. According to NHRA’s qualifying report, Glenn’s 6.434 at 213.50 mph set a new benchmark and earned him the No. 1 spot. NHRA described it as a world-record run. Meanwhile, Competition Plus called it a national elapsed-time record.
The rest of the field was quick, too. All 16 qualified drivers ran in the 6.40s, which NHRA said made it the quickest field in Pro Stock history by a massive margin. Aaron Stanfield qualified second with a 6.443 at 213.42 mph. Matt Latino took third after a 6.447 at 213.63 mph.
It was Glenn’s third No. 1 qualifier of the year and the 15th of his career. Afterward, he admitted he wasn’t sure he had it. “I get out of the car, and I’m like, well, did I get it?” he said. Then Rick Dodge told him, “Yep, you got it.” The other No. 1 qualifiers that weekend were Shawn Langdon in Top Fuel, Jack Beckman in Funny Car and Gaige Herrera in Pro Stock Motorcycle.
Glenn also explained why the top spot means so much to him. “In my opinion, it’s harder to qualify No. 1 in Pro Stock than it is to win the race,” he said, “because it’s so easy to make a mistake.”
Four rounds on Sunday
Eliminations started with Stephen Bell. Glenn beat him, then got past Jeg Coughlin Jr. In the semifinal, he beat Greg Anderson, his KB Titan Racing teammate. That set up a final against Matt Hartford.
The official NHRA results show a close race decided at the tree. Glenn left with a .010 reaction time against Hartford’s .038. He also had the better 60-foot time, 0.981 seconds to 0.996. Glenn then ran 6.478 at 212.30 mph, while Hartford ran 6.496 at a slightly faster 212.37 mph.
As a result, the margin of victory was 0.046 seconds. “Matt Hartford’s an extremely tough competitor, but I knew my car was fantastic,” Glenn said in NHRA’s race report.
Win No. 26 and a second straight Dallas title
The result sheet puts the numbers in order. It was Glenn’s fifth win of 2026 and the 26th of his career. In fact, NHRA notes he is now 6-1 in final rounds when he qualifies No. 1.
The victory also gave him back-to-back wins at Texas Motorplex. Competition Plus called it his second consecutive Dallas victory. Before eliminations, Glenn had guessed his own tally. “I think I have 25 wins right now,” he said on Saturday, and Sunday’s win made it 26.
A 14-point lead with two races left
The points swing mattered as much as the trophy. Greg Stanfield came into Dallas as the Pro Stock points leader but lost in the first round. Glenn called that first-round loss “huge.”
By the end of Sunday, Glenn led Stanfield by 14 points, according to NHRA. That made Dallas Glenn the Pro Stock points leader again. Hartford, the runner-up, trails him by 41. That is why NHRA expects things to be tight the rest of the way.
The other pro winners in Texas
Glenn was one of four pro winners at the FallNationals. Antron Brown won in Top Fuel when Maddi Gordon left early and went red. J.R. Todd beat points leader Matt Hagan for his first Dallas Funny Car win. Finally, Matt Smith took Pro Stock Motorcycle on a holeshot over Richard Gadson.
The tour moves next to the MoparNHRA Las Vegas Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, October 29 to November 1. Glenn arrives as the points leader, 14 ahead of Stanfield, and as the driver of the quickest pass Pro Stock has ever seen.
