July 23, 2026

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • LEAH PRUETT arrives third in Top Fuel points with championship-caliber consistency: only one first-round exit through 11 events, plus a 2026 Bristol victory marking her first win since returning from motherhood.
  • PRUETT targets redemption at Pacific Raceways after past concussions and a devastating .004-second final-round loss in 2018, armed with fresh Sonoma data and her final American Rebel Light Beer livery appearance.
  • MATT HAGAN defends his 2025 Seattle breakthrough victory while sitting fourth in Funny Car standings, boasting a dominant 23-13 elimination record at Pacific Raceways with wins in 2013 and 2025.
  • HAGAN collected two 2026 victories—historic Winternationals win at Funny Car’s 1,000th race and Bristol triumph—but stumbled recently with first-round Ohio exit and Sonoma quarterfinal, needing Seattle momentum before Countdown.
