Dallas Glenn is competing for his first NHRA Pro Stock championship on Sunday in Pomona, but he hasn’t been doing any time.
Glenn has actually tried everything except thinking about racing.
“I’m trying to think about it more,” Glenn said this week. “I know what I have to do when we get there, and all I can hope for is that the car makes eight solid good runs, or at least as many as we can. I think I went golfing three times this week and tried to relax and hang out in Las Vegas with my parents. I just try not to think about anything.”
The previous NHRA event took place two weeks ago in Las Vegas. Glenn and his KB Titan Racing team suffered a first-round loss, allowing Aaron Stanfield to take the points lead as he won the event for Elite Motorsports. Stanfield leads Glenn by 32 points entering the finals at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip.
Pomona is a point-and-a-half race. 30 points are awarded for each round instead of the traditional 20.
“I think it’s quite simple: if I just go out there and try to make eight good quality runs and try to win the race, wherever it falls, it’s going to fall, and I can’t be mad at what kind whatsoever. of the season I had,” Glenn said. “No matter what happens in Pomona, I have to leave there with my head held high and I feel like I’ve done a pretty good job all season. If it comes down to Aaron or Greg doing slightly better than me in the last six races, then so be it.
“But if I go there and give it everything I have, then I can’t complain about anything.”
Anderson is third in the championship hunt, 56 points behind. Glenn and Anderson, the latter of whom is going for his sixth championship, are teammates at KB Titan.
Glenn has already put together a career year. He has five wins in 19 races with a win/loss record of 46-14 and was the No. 1 qualifier twice.
A four-win season in 2023 was his previous season highlight. Glenn went from long-time crew member to driver in 2021, quickly winning three races and finishing third in points. Since his debut he has won thirteen races.
For the championship it should perhaps be more of the same Sunday.
“Honestly, I just go out there and try to be as aggressive as I can,” Glenn said. “I feel like I’m in a good place in the race car; I can hit the tree decently and hit switch points. As long as I do my job, hopefully all the dominoes will fall and the planets will align correctly. Anyone who says they can win one of these without luck is, I think, lying to themselves. Hopefully luck is on our side.
“I know Aaron will be very tough. This could definitely come down to the very last lap, so I’m just going to go out there and try to do what I’ve done all season and just be aggressive.
