LAS VEGAS - The battle for the 2025 Mission Foods Drag Racing Series Pro Stock championship has been whittled down to just two, and with a victory in Las Vegas, Dallas Glenn and his KB Titan Racing-powered RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro extended the points lead and created quite a hill to climb for his closest competitor when the tour pulls into Pomona, Calif., for the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals. The championship has come down to Glenn and his boss, Greg Anderson, driver of the HendrickCars.com Chevrolet and the most winning driver in the history of the class. Glenn now leads Anderson, the reigning and six-time world champion, by 92 points heading into the last race of the season.

A potentially pivotal moment in the season's championship chase - and most likely one of the most important rounds of Glenn's career - came in the semifinals there at the Dodge NHRA Nevada Natioanls, where he and Anderson found one another, each intent on defeating the friendly rival in the other lane. Glenn launched first with a .026 light, but Anderson was only behind by seven-thousandths in his start. It was an incredible war down the dragstrip, with Glenn keeping just ahead even as Anderson worked hard to make up ground. At the final stripe, it was Glenn with the win light on a 6.606, 206.92 that defeated a quicker 6.603, 205.91. The margin of victory in Glenn's favor was just four thousandths of a second, allowing him to advance to the 40th final round of his Pro Stock career and 13th of the season in just 17 races.

"Even though winning that round over Greg felt like a win to me, now I had a chance to really put the damage on. It was like, 'You can go put the icing on the cake,' and who wants a cake without icing," said Glenn, who went on to earn his eighth win of the season and 21st Pro Stock trophy of his career by defeating KBT-powered Matt Hartford in the final, putting up a characteristically quick .006-second reaction time and a 6.602 pass at 206.61 mph to keep ahead of Hartford's strong .012 start and 6.625, 207.50.

En route to the final, Glenn defeated 26-time Pro Stock winner Dave Connolly, part of the KB Titan braintrust of crew chiefs, before notching victory over six-time champion Erica Enders in the quarterfinals.

Glenn and Anderson have been in combat for more than a year, stretching back to the 2024 championship that was won by Anderson in the final round of the final race of the season. The two went head-to-head in last year's Pomona finale with Anderson winning their match by .002-second and, thusly, the championship by 11 points. This time around, Glenn is entering Pomona more than three rounds ahead of his competitor. In essence, Glenn would have to falter early, and Anderson would have to all but win in order to score a seventh series title.

It could still go in either direction, and no matter what happens, KB Titan Racing is assured a 10th Pro Stock championship. For Glenn, to be in this position with one of the most successful teams in NHRA history borders on unbelievable.

"At the beginning of this season, we were just having so much fun trying to crush everybody, and both our cars were just working fantastic," said Glenn. "But now, to get by Greg in an absolutely crazy race today and make it to another final - there are just so many people who haven't even been able to win that many rounds, let alone to have all of those final rounds in one season. It reminds you of the glory days of KB Racing, when they won like 19 races in one season. I feel like we're having one of those seasons, and you just don't want to be the one to mess it up. I can't describe how good this feels, holding the trophy here. It hasn't really hit me yet, but I still need to do good in Pomona."

The final stop on the 2025 Mission Foods Drag Racing Series tour will be the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals in Pomona, Nov. 13-16.
