Funny Car points leader Austin Prock broke John Force’s record for most No. 1 qualifiers in a single season at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He clinched his 14th top spot of the year at the Ford Performance NHRA Nationals. Brittany Force (Top Fuel), Greg Anderson (Pro Stock), and Gaige Herrera (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also qualified No. 1 in the Countdown to the Championship playoffs. Prock just missed a track E.T. record in his Chevrolet Camaro SS, going 3.817 seconds at 327.98 mph. He has a chance to clinch his first Funny Car world championship by opening eliminations against Tim Gibbons on Sunday with a 148-point lead over Jack Beckman. It’s a thrilling moment for Prock, who credits his team for their exceptional work in providing him with a great race car all season. Beckman qualified second with a career-best 3.821 at 330.47, while Force secured her fifth top spot of the season with a pass of 3.660 at 334.98 in her Chevrolet Accessories dragster. She is looking for her first win since the 2022 campaign and is optimistic heading into eliminations with her team’s strong performance throughout the weekend.
