Victory at the American Rebel Light NHRA Four-Wide Nationals held a lot of weight for drivers in the KB Titan Racing stable. The event title was on the line, and the points lead was even hanging in the balance, but a win on Sunday would also mark the 200th Pro Stock title for the KB Titan Racing team. It was an honor that every member of the KB Titan Racing team wanted, but ultimately, it was Dallas Glenn who claimed the honor in his RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro.
“For this to be the 200th KB Titan win shows how amazing this team really is,” said Glenn, who also marked the victory as the 16th of his Pro Stock career that started in 2021. Notably, his first win came at the Charlotte Four-Wide Nationals in his rookie season. “Greg Anderson has 108 of those 200. I haven’t contributed as much as he has, but he’s been doing this a lot longer than me, and he’s very tough. To be a small little part of the history of this team means a lot. It’s not easy getting these wins. You have to do everything right a lot; there are more ways to do it wrong than right. It’s pretty special to get the 200th win.”
The 200 wins for KB Titan Racing are shared amongst nine drivers since Anderson’s first in Bristol in 2001. As the most winning driver in the history of the sport, Anderson has 108 victories, while Glenn now has 16 with the team that gave him his Pro Stock start. Three-time world champion Jason Line earned 51 titles under the KB Racing banner, and 2017 Pro Stock world champion Bo Butner earned 11. Six of Matt Hartford’s wins came with the group now known as KB Titan Racing, and Deric Kramer has earned five. Many-time FIA Pro Stock champion Jimmy Alund earned his first U.S. win with the group at the Charlotte Four-Wide Nationals in 2014, and Camrie Caruso and Kyle Koretsky each secured one (Koretsky’s also came in Charlotte, but at the fall race in 2021).
At this season’s event, the unique four-wide event set up a final round that assured the milestone win for the team started by Anderson and Las Vegas businessman Ken Black nearly 25 years ago. After two rounds of eliminations, the competition was stripped away, and an all-KB Titan final was set. Reigning and six-time world champion Anderson would square off with Glenn – the same driver he locked horns with at the conclusion of 2024 for the series title – as well as teammates Matt Hartford and Eric Latino.
In the final, Glenn put together the winning package, launching ferociously with a .002-second reaction time and clocking a strong 6.495-second pass at 212.69 mph to set the win light flashing in his lane. Anderson made the quickest pass of the weekend in his HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro, but his swift 6.472 with a .036 start wasn’t quite enough to overcome Glenn’s stellar start, and he was runner-up in the quad.
“I did my job the best that I could do, but the car still did its job,” said Glenn, who balked at taking full credit for the milestone achievement. “It’s the engine guys, the crew chiefs – Dave Connolly, Rob Downing, Nate VanWassenhove – they did a fantastic job all day. It’s not easy juggling to tune six cars with three people. We got back from Las Vegas, and they literally tore all of our engines apart and didn’t get the last one back together until Thursday night at 9 o’clock. They worked nonstop every single day, Saturday, Sunday, it didn’t matter. The reason that we can run good, keep everything together, and have such a fantastic start to the year is because of those guys. I just get to sit in the car and try to do the best that I can.”
Glenn’s victory in Charlotte moved him back into the points lead, which he held for the bulk of the 2024 season and reclaimed after winning the season-opening Gatornationals this year. Building on last season’s extraordinary battle, Glenn and Anderson have been in all of the final rounds so far this season, with one or the other coming out on top each time. After Glenn’s trophy run in Gainesville, Anderson won the next two – Phoenix and Pomona – to take over the points lead, but Glenn answered back with wins in back-to-back four-wide finals in Las Vegas and Charlotte. Heading into race six of the 2025 Mission Foods Drag Racing Series, Glenn leads Anderson by 11 points.
The battle will continue in Epping, N.H., May 30-June 1, with the NHRA New England Nationals.
