PROCK, LANGDON AND ANDERSON WIN NHRA ARIZONA NATIONALS IN FRONT OF SELLOUT CROWD<\/strong><\/p>\n PHOENIX (April 7, 2024) \u2013 Austin Prock powered to his first career Funny Car win on Sunday at Firebird Motorsports Park for John Force Racing, driving past Alexis DeJoria in the final round in front of a sellout crowd at the 39th annual NHRA Arizona Nationals.<\/p>\n Shawn Langdon (Top Fuel) and Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) each won at the third of 20 races during the 2024 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series. Sunday also marked the second straight sellout crowd this weekend.<\/p>\n Prock, who was also the No. 1 qualifier, went 3.952-seconds at 320.74 mph in his 11,000-horsepower Cornwell Tools Chevrolet Camaro SS to get past DeJoria in his second final round this season. After defeating Buddy Hull, Daniel Wilkerson and points leader J.R. Todd to reach the finals, Prock led wire-to-wire against DeJoria, becoming just the 19th driver in NHRA history to win in both Top Fuel and Funny Car.<\/p>\n It marked a memorable moment for Prock, especially winning with his father, Jimmy, as the crew chief, and his brother, Thomas, as the car chief.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a huge win,\u201d Prock said. \u201cThis car has been running great and we started the year out strong and struggled a little bit last week in Pomona. We had to get some revenge this weekend and we definitely did that. That was a great run in the final round there. That\u2019s a run we were trying to do that all weekend long and just couldn\u2019t piece it all together. For it all to finally come together to get my first Funny Car win means a lot.<\/p>\n \u201cTo enter that league (of winning in Top Fuel and Funny Car) with the Don Prudhommes, the Shawn Langdons, the J.R. Todds, the Kenny Bernsteins, who are legends and Hall of Famers, it\u2019s pretty cool to be a part of that. To do it with my family makes it even more special. It was a beautiful day, a packed house and we\u2019re rolling out of here with some gold. What more could you ask for?\u201d<\/p>\n DeJoria reached the finals for the first time this season thanks to round wins against Bob Tasca III, Paul Lee and Blake Alexander.<\/p>\n Shawn Langdon picked up his second Top Fuel win in three races to open the 2024 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season, this time knocking off Justin Ashley in the final round on Sunday with a run of 3.760 at 318.69 in his 11,000-horsepower Kalitta Air Careers\/Toyota dragster. It\u2019s the first career Top Fuel win at Firebird Motorsports Park for Langdon, who also denied Ashley a double-up victory this weekend in Phoenix. Langdon defeated Josh Hart, Antron Brown and No. 1 qualifier Steve Torrence to reach the final round and then posted a brilliant .050 reaction time against Ashley to pick up his 19th career victory.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the first time Langdon has led the points three races in a row since the 2015 campaign as he continues to roll early in the year, again crediting the job first-year crew chief Brian Husen has done.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you run a Justin in the final, you know what he\u2019s capable of. He\u2019s the best leaver in the class bar none, so my only focus was just leave with him. and then leave it up to Brian because I have that much confidence in Brian and my guys,\u201d Langdon said. \u201cSo when I hit the gas, we left with him, I said, \u2018Well, we\u2019ve got a shot,\u2019 and so I just tried to hold it straight and saw the win light and the rest is history.<\/p>\n \u201cIt feels great, obviously. I\u2019m just really proud of everybody and all the hard work that went into the offseason. It\u2019s been hard for the last couple of years to struggle. but you just keep your head down, just keep working hard, and eventually, the tide\u2019s going to roll the other way. At some point, you don\u2019t know how long that will be but it\u2019s paying dividends right now.\u201d<\/p>\n Ashley reached his second straight final and 21st overall on the strength of round wins against Tony Schumacher, Doug Kalitta and Tony Stewart, who won his first rounds in Top Fuel on Sunday.<\/p>\n In Pro Stock, Greg Anderson grabbed his first victory of the season in impressive fashion, taking down teammate Dallas Glenn in the final round with a 6.582 at 208.97 in his HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro. It\u2019s also the 104th career victory for Anderson and his third career win in Phoenix, winning at Firebird Motorsports Park for the first time since 2017. Anderson defeated Eric Latino, Troy Coughlin Jr. and then No. 1 qualifier and longtime rival Jeg Coughlin Jr. to reach the championship round, posting an impressive .022 reaction time to lead wire-to-wire against his KB Titan Racing teammate.<\/p>\n The early-season win is also a breath of fresh air for Anderson, who remains focused on winning a sixth career world championship. He didn\u2019t pick up a victory last year until late in the season but made sure that didn\u2019t happen again on Sunday in Phoenix.<\/p>\n \u201cThis feels great and, honestly, it feels as good as the first,\u201d Anderson said. \u201cIt\u2019s just so hard to win in this class anymore and to have the day I had, the weekend I had, I actually a good job behind the wheel. I\u2019m really thrilled with that, but that\u2019s what it takes to win in this class anymore. You have to have the whole total package, you have to have the best car, you have to have the best crew and you have to drive it well.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were able to put all three together today on a very, very tricky racetrack. It\u2019s a tough one, but I love those challenges. My crew loves those challenges. You had to be on your toes, so now we\u2019re going to Vegas with a little bit of momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n Glenn, who won the postponed Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals on Saturday in Phoenix, reached the finals for the 19th time in his career and second time this season thanks to round wins against Mason McGaha, Cristian Cuadra and Aaron Stanfield.<\/p>\n The NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series returns to action April 12-14 with the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n CHANDLER, Ariz. \u2014 Final finish order (1-16) at the 39th annual NHRA Arizona Nationals at Firebird Motorsports Park.
