Race Day in New Hampshire Faces Storms but Still Delivers Big Wins

New England Dragway, Epping, Hampshire, USAMon Jun 08 2026
Heavy rain disrupted racing plans at New England Dragway but didn’t stop fans from seeing impressive performances across multiple classes. Dallas Glenn took the Pro Stock win in a tight finish, beating Matt Hartford by just seven thousandths of a second. The race showcased how close professional drag racing can be, where small mistakes or timing can flip the outcome.
Top Fuel and Funny Car events were moved to Friday due to the weather, leaving spectators waiting another day to see high-speed runs. Still, the delay didn’t stop some drivers from making headlines. Ava Meloni made history in Top Dragster by defeating Paul Neal, who red-lighted in the final. In Top Sportsman, Eric Cabral won after Dan Christopher fouled out just before the finish line. The competition wasn’t just about speed—clean runs mattered just as much. Leah Pruett secured a spot in the Top Fuel finals with a strong 3. 776-second pass, while Jordan Vandergriff edged out Jack Beckman in Funny Car under stormy skies. Both races were called due to rain, proving that even unpredictable weather can’t stop determined racers.
