The final hours of the 2025 season of the Mission Foods Drag Racing Series are inching ever-closer, and points leader Dallas Glenn continues to show that he has the drive, spirit, and racecar to earn his first Pro Stock world championship. Driving the RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro out of the 10-time championship winning KB Titan Racing stable, Glenn proved steady behind the wheel at the 40th annual Texas NHRA FallNationals to score his first win at Texas Motorplex, seventh of the season, and milestone 20th of his career.
After qualifying in the No. 3 position, Glenn opened eliminations with an intense match with KB Titan-powered Cody Coughlin. His opponent left first on a .016-second reaction time, but Glenn made up ground efficiently to recover from a .044 start and put up a 6.537-second pass at 208.97 to beat a 6.571, 208.29 by just six-thousandths of a second.
In the second-round, the Washington-state native and North Carolina transplant was better at both ends of the track to defeat another teammate in Eric Latino, (.041) 6.574, 208.66 to (.133) 6.601, 209.38, and for his efforts he earned a semifinals battle with one of the most decorated and veteran drivers in the class, Jeg Coughlin Jr. Notoriously strong at the starting line, Coughlin was .011 at the hit, but he soon fell into tire shake as Glenn sailed ahead to win on a 6.627.
“I definitely had a lot of luck today,” admitted Glenn. “Cody crushed me on the tree in the first round and I was able to outrun him, then Jeggie was .011 but wasn’t able to make it down. You could see how tricky it was out there in the semifinals; we were a full tenth [of a second] off our qualifying, but the crew chiefs did a fantastic job getting my car down the track four times.”
In the final, Glenn’s .034 start and 6.605, 208.89 got it done by just .007-second over Aaron Stanfield’s .024 and 6.622, 208.75. With the win, Glenn’s lead in the Pro Stock standings extends to 60 points.
“I’m just trying to take it one win at a time,” said Glenn. “Everything is in the past, and I’m just thinking about the next one moving forward. But I’ve always had it in the back of my mind that Dave Connolly [former full-time driver and currently one of the KB Titan Racing crew chiefs] has 27, and I’d really like to get past him.”
The next race on the tour will be the Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals in Las Vegas, October 30 through November 2. Last season, the championship came down to the final round of the final race, and there, Glenn’s teammate and boss, Greg Anderson, won a very close match to snatch the championship from his hands in the last moment of the season with a small 11-point advantage. Glenn, who has had the points lead since sweeping Seattle earlier this year, does not want a repeat.
“It was definitely cool to have No. 1 and No. 2 on our cars, and I don’t remember 11 points – I remember it was two-thousandths of a second, because that’s what the final round was,” recalled Glenn.
“As far as my reaction times, I was driving way better last year. I’m driving good and consistent now, but the car has come around a little bit better, and I’m a little bit more relaxed for some reason. But Greg Anderson – there is a good reason he has 112 wins now. His car is fast, and he always does his job when he needs to. To be able to beat him at all, at any point in a race, is tough. Especially in the Countdown because throughout the season, his car just gets better and better and better. I definitely don’t want a repeat of last year. I want to be 11 points on the good side this time.”
