No. 1 qualifier Jonathan Allegrucci took home all the hardware today at zMAX Dragway winning the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals for the second year in a row. The driver from Scott Township, Pa. drove his Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to the winner\u2019s circle in a tough quad that included two-time winners Jason and Taylor Dietsch, and Raymond Nash, driver of one of the most competitive Dodge Challenger Drag Paks. His winning time of 7.716 seconds at 178.42 mph was a strong showing to wrap up race day.

\u201cGetting this win means a lot,\u201d said Allegrucci. \u201cEveryone thinks because you won last year, you\u2019re going to come out and do it again. And it just puts the bullseye on your back, and we put more pressure on ourselves. I think it makes it much harder. We came out and qualified on the top spot and it just gave us more pressure. And then the car started fighting us, showing us who\u2019s boss.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allegrucci was the first off the starting line in the final and held off Jason Dietsch who was the No. 14 qualifier this weekend and scored two wins last year. Dietsch scored the runner-up finish in his first Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown Series race of the season racing his Mustang Cobra Jet to the finish line with a 7.722 second run at 166.93 mph. Semifinalists Nash and Taylor Dietsch tripped the finish line timers in 7.739 seconds and 9.007 seconds, respectively, today with a solid effort for their teams.

\u201cWe just said, \u2018Hey, let\u2019s go do the best we can and let the cards fall where they fall,\u2019\u201d said Allegrucci. \u201cThis was a tough day and that second round was really a turning point. We got by that quad and that really set us up for the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the win Allegrucci moves into the Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown Series points lead and will carry the $1,000 bounty into the next national event. He also took home one of the diamond NHRA Wally trophies celebrating the NHRA\u2019s 75th anniversary.\u201cIt\u2019s amazing. Just feeling how heavy it is and looking at it, it\u2019s something special to be able to get out here and do this,\u201d said Allegrucci. \u201cI didn\u2019t think it\u2019s ever possible. I knew we could run with this class and throw some punches here and there. I never thought we could be contending like this at this level. It\u2019s all because of the guys behind us. It\u2019s because of KSR. These guys are just top notch, and they make our job easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Nash outran Gatornationals winner Ricky Hord in the third quad to take the $1,000 Flexjet Bounty and advance to the final quad along with Allegrucci. In a wild round following Nash\u2019s win over Hord, Doug Duell, David Davies II and Jason Dietsch all left the starting line before the Christmas Tree activated leading to a unique outcome. The fourth participant of the quad, Taylor Dietsch, was declared the winner and Jason Dietsch also advanced because he was the last participant to leave early sliding him into the second winner position of that quad.<\/p>\n

The Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown Series will be back in action at Route 66 Raceway outside Chicago from May 15-17, 2026.<\/p>\n
