October 30, 2026

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • LEAH PRUETT is fired up for Vegas, promising “rippin’ runs” as she sits fifth in Top Fuel points, 265 back from leader Shawn Langdon with two races remaining.
  • BRITTANY FORCE’s 338.85-mph track record at Las Vegas is under real threat as 340-mph-plus passes become routine in 2026’s ultra-quick Top Fuel field.
  • With Langdon needing a 191-point cushion to clinch at Vegas, the Top Fuel title battle could go all the way to Pomona — keeping PRUETT mathematically alive.

UPCOMING:

  • NHRA Nevada Nationals, The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (date not stated, found Oct 30, 2026)
  • NHRA Finals, Pomona, California — November 13-15, 2026
