NHRA Funny Car points leader Austin Prock continues his season dominance — rolling his ninth win of 2025 at Texas Motorplex’s 40th annual Texas NHRA FallNationals.

Prock went 3.959-seconds at 328.30 mph in his JFR/Cornwell Tools Chevrolet SS, powering past Ron Capps who ran 4.405 at 199.80 mph. The event victory moved Prock another step closer to his second straight world championship. It was Prock’s 21st win in his career, as well as his first career victory at the famed Texas Motorplex.

Prock, who qualified No. 1, (@ 3.687 secs Low ET) defeated Blake Alexander, Spencer Hyde and Chad Green to reach the final before putting together a dominant performance in the final round. After starting the weekend just 20 points ahead of Matt Hagan, who fell in the first round, Prock had a remarkable answer in Dallas, making the quickest run in every round of eliminations and the last three rounds of qualifying.

His points lead now stands at 112 points over Hagan with two races remaining.
 
“We went out there and won and all of the cards fell right today, and we were able to extend our points leads, so that definitely feels really good,” Prock said. “You always want to extend your points lead even if it’s by one point, but we did a lot more than that. I said earlier this weekend that whoever gets the most wins in these next three races is going to be crowned the world champion, and we knocked one off, so got two more to go. I have all the faith in the world in this team and this race car, and I’m going to go up there and try and do my job.
 
“After Q1, we were low E.T. every time we went down the track, and not just by a little bit. That’s an OG Jimmy Prock move right there. I’m just really proud to drive this race car for Cornwell Tools, so now we need to keep turning on win lights and bringing home race wins.”

Capps reached the finals for the fifth time in 2025 after defeating Alex Laughlin, Cruz Pedregon and Dan Wilkerson. Jack Beckman is 131 points back in third.
