\n| \u00a0\n HYDE, MILLICAN, GLENN & HERRERA QUALIFY NO. 1 IN FRONT OF SELLOUT CROWD AT NHRA READING NATIONALS<\/strong><\/p>\nREADING, Pa. (Sept. 13, 2025) \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Funny Car rookie Spencer Hyde scored his first career No. 1 qualifier on Saturday, securing the top spot in front of a sellout crowd at Maple Grove Raceway during the 40th annual NHRA Reading Nationals presented by Nitro Fish.<\/p>\n Clay Millican (Top Fuel), Dallas Glenn (Pro Stock) and Gaige Herrera (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also qualified No. 1 at the 15th of 20 races during the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season. It is also the first of six races in the Countdown to the Championship playoffs. The sellout crowd was NHRA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fifth of the season.<\/p>\n Hyde added another impressive notch in his debut season in the nitro ranks, clinching his first career No. 1 qualifier in front of a sellout crowd thanks to Friday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s stout run of 3.868-seconds at 330.07 mph in his 12,000-horsepower Head Contractors & Engineers Ford Mustang.<\/p>\n The next item on the to-do list is his first career victory and Hyde will get another opportunity on Sunday, opening eliminations against Phil Burkart. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been to a pair of final rounds in 2025, but a victory to open the Countdown to the Championship would make for a massive moment for Hyde.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been waiting 15 races to do this, so it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd Hyde said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good for me, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good for my guys and it gives them some confidence and motivation to hopefully go out and win this thing tomorrow. This is definitely a good start (to the Countdown) and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good time to get hot. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re hungry and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re here to race.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/p>\n Points leader and reigning world champion Austin Prock qualified second with a run of 3.882 at 333.74. Paul Lee posted the best run in the class in both sessions on Saturday, including a 3.893 at 328.22 that puts him third.<\/p>\n In Top Fuel, Clay Millican raced to his first No. 1 qualifier of the season, as Friday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s run of 3.704 at 336.32 in his 12,000-horsepower PowerEdge dragster for Rick Ware Racing held up during Saturday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s two sessions. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the 27th career top qualifier for Millican, who overcame a big explosion in the third run of qualifying to end Saturday with a solid run of 3.796 at 330.15 in front of a capacity crowd.<\/p>\n That, along with Friday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s performance, sets up Millican nicely for Sunday, as he looks to win at Maple Grove Raceway for the first time in his career. Millican is also after his second win this season, knowing it could jump-start a championship hunt.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I certainly wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t pleased with Q3. That was a big boomer and I hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t had one that big in a long, long time,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd Millican said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153But the boys and girls who make this thing go did a great job getting us right back up there for Q4, and we ended up second-quick. To come back and make that kind of run in the heat was pretty dang impressive.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Q3 run, we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know exactly what happened. We didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have time to diagnose it, but that engine will go on the stand tonight. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll find out, and make sure it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t happen again.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/p>\n Justin Ashley, who won the most recent race in Indy, qualified second with a 3.738 at 331.69, while Doug Kalitta took third after going 3.756 at 335.40 on Friday. Kalitta will open eliminations with a marquee matchup against reigning world champion Antron Brown. Points leader Tony Stewart qualified 11th and starts raceday against eight-time world champion Tony Schumacher.<\/p>\n Dallas Glenn earned his fifth No. 1 qualifier of the season in Pro Stock, as the points leader\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 6.502 at 210.50 from Friday in his RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro stayed on top. The good news for Glenn, who picked up his 11th career top spot, is that he also made a strong run in Saturday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s warmer conditions, putting Glenn in a good position to open the playoffs with a victory.<\/p>\n He\u2019s never won in Pro Stock at Maple Grove Raceway, but Glenn will open eliminations on top, taking on Shane Tucker in the opening round.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have a really good car and were able to make a decent run this morning and get a bonus point, so heading into that final session, I felt like we had a shot at getting two or three more bonus points,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd Glenn said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Unfortunately, we had a little oops and were shut off and missed out on those points, but being the No. 1 qualifier does help.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u2019re going to look and see if we can try to get four win lights tomorrow. The car is fantastic, it looks nice and I\u2019m ready for tomorrow. We have a lot of brain power in the KB Titan crew chief room right now and I\u2019m pretty sure they\u2019re confident they know what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n Aaron Stanfield took second with a 6.505 at 211.59, while U.S. Nationals winner Erica Enders qualified third after Friday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s run of 6.506 at 211.36. Reigning world champion Greg Anderson moved up to fourth with a 6.515 at 208.97, making the quickest run in each of Saturday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s two sessions.<\/p>\n Pro Stock Motorcycle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Gaige Herrera wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t challenged for the No. 1 spot on Saturday, as the points leader picked up his fifth No. 1 qualifier this season thanks to Friday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 6.745 at 200.20 on his RevZilla\/Motul\/Vance & Hines Suzuki.<\/p>\n The good news is Herrera made two more strong runs in front of a capacity crowd on Sunday, putting the back-to-back world champion in an ideal spot to win for the first time at Maple Grove Raceway in his storied career.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The track has been very consistent today in the heat and that gives us good data going into tomorrow,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd Herrera said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m happy to get the win for Vance & Hines and all the guys back at the shop. I feel like tomorrow we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to have a very strong field. Between me and Richard, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m glad we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re on opposite sides. I definitely don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to race him early.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This crowd really loves the bikes. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got friends here who had never seen Nitro cars before today, and now they want to come to more NHRA races. It feels like home \u00e2\u20ac\u201d like we brought our bike crowd into the NHRA world.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/p>\n Matt Smith grabbed the second spot with Friday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 6.753 at 200.95 and Gadson stayed third with his 6.763 at 200.92.<\/p>\n Eliminations for the NHRA Reading Nationals presented by Nitro Fish begin at 11 a.m. ET on Sunday at Maple Grove Raceway.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.constantcontact.com\/1c71db19601\/2990e054-0cbf-4e86-9626-b882aed63343.jpg?w=560&ssl=1\") <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n| MOHNTON, Pa. \u2014 Sunday\u2019s first-round pairings for eliminations for the 40th annual NHRA Reading Nationals presented by Nitro Fish at Maple Grove Raceway, the 15th of 20 events in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series.
