It’s simple math: the only thing better than seeing a pair of racers at the starting tree…is seeing four racers.

And that’s what the NHRA is giving us—for two National events in a row, no less.

The first one up was the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Las Vegas, Nevada. And suffice it to say, we got to witness an amazing weekend of four-wide action before the party packs up and heads to North Carolina for the Circle K NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in a few weeks. So let’s get to part one of our four-wide NHRA Wrap-Up duo started…

Fresh of his Wally-winning performance at the 2023 Winternationals, Dallas Glenn found himself part of the quartet of racers in Sunday’s final round Pro Stock matchup. Up against Troy Coughlin Jr., Deric Kramer, and Cristian Cuadra, Glenn blasted to a holeshot win and a razor-close finish with a 6.649-second, 206.29 mph run.

2023 NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Las Vegas Top Fuel Results

We were wondering how long it’d be before we mentioned Antron Brown here. After enjoying a trio of victories and a Top 10 finish last year, we knew 2023 was going to be eventful for the second year under AB Motorsports’ team ownership. Against Brittany Force, Josh Hart, and Steve Torrence, the four racers were locked together through the run until Brown edged a victory with a 3.760-second, 319.75 mph pass.

With the names John Force, Tim Wilkerson, Matt Hagan, and Chad Green sitting on the final round bracket tree, you knew it’d be a good race. But despite a hard-charging Wilkerson car, Hagan was able to maintain his early lead down the track and secure the Wally with a 3.943-second, 326.79 mph effort.
