NHRA: American Rebel Light NHRA 4-Wide Nationals- Concord, NC

 

Monday, April 28, 2025: 

 

Austin Prock put his stamp on another piece of drag racing history Sunday when he drove the Cornwell Tools Chevrolet SS to victory in the 15th NHRA 4-Wide Nationals at ZMax Dragway in Charlotte, becoming the first driver in history to win four-wide races on the same track in both Top Fuel and Funny Car.

Two years ago, the 29-year-old phenom hoisted the Charlotte 4-Wide trophy in his final season at the wheel of a John Force Racing Top Fuel dragster. Now he has a matching Funny Car trophy thanks to a final round time of 3.870 seconds, the quickest of eliminations. 

 

The reigning World Champion overpowered Ron Capps, Matt Hagan and Alexis DeJoria in the final quad to win his second four-wide trophy in three weeks. Sunday’s win comes on the heels of his April 13th victory at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the only other NHRA venue capable of accommodating four-wide competition.

In winning for the 10th time in his last 25 Funny Car starts on the Mission Foods tour, the 2019 NHRA Rookie-of-the-Year raced into the point lead for the first time this season, just ahead of Hagan and JFR teammate Jack Beckman. When qualifying begins May 16th for the 25th NHRA Route 66 Nationals presented by PEAK in Joliet, the former sprint car driver will lead Hagan by 50 points.

Prock’s Funny Car teammate, Jack Beckman, has had frustration in the four-wide events for the second time in three weeks as he’s exited in round one. The 36-time pro tour winner again qualified fifth, just as he did in Las Vegas, and once again he didn’t survive to the second quad, his usually reliable Chevy lost traction early and slowed to 4.934 seconds at only 178.19 mph.

 

Two-time Top Fuel World Champ Brittany Force advanced a round further than Beckman, but couldn’t get her 341 MPH national record-holding hot rod to the final quad. Her 3.834 in round two was not quite good enough to match the 3.70s of eventual race winner Shawn Langdon and Tony Stewart.

 

The next stop on the NHRA Mission Foods tour, May 16-18th, will be the 25th annual Route 66 Nationals, presented by PEAK, at the Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Illinois.
