Shawn Langdon, Kalitta Air Careers Dragster
Finals Broadcast Replay (eastern time): 8:30-11:30 p.m. Monday, June 8 on FS2
Qualifying: Shawn Langdon was the No. 1 qualifier at the NHRA New England Nationals. Langdon made strong runs in three of the four qualifying attempts, but his best effort came in the Friday night session when he reached the finish line in 3.709 seconds at 334.98 mph to claim his second-straight No. 1 qualifier, his fourth of the season and the 26th of his career.
Eliminations: Langdon followed a first-round bye with a win over Clay Millican to set up a semifinal-round matchup with his teammate, Doug Kalitta. The reigning champion was leading the race when the engine in the Mac Tools dragster stopped, and Langdon cruised to the win setting up a final round against Leah Pruett, a rematch of the Phoenix final round Langdon won.
Immediately before the Funny Car and Top Fuel final rounds, rain moved in and delayed the race. Just as the cars were going to the staging lanes a second time, the rain resumed, and the Funny Car and Top Fuel finals were postponed. Langdon and Pruett will race during the second round of qualifying Friday evening at next weekend’s NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol, Tenn.
Unofficial Point Standings: Langdon leaves New Hampshire in first place in the NHRA Top Fuel point standings. He leads second-place Doug Kalitta by 100 points. (Langdon and Pruett both received points for a runner-up finish. The winner of next week’s final round will receive the additional points for the race win at that time.)
Langdon on New Hampshire: “We had a really good car. We ran well and qualified number one. We had a little hiccup in the first round with my reaction time, and I was pretty mad at myself. I felt like our team rebounded very well in the second round and semifinals, and I felt pretty good about the final. We can’t control weather, so we’ll head to Bristol, start going through some notes and get prepared there. It’ll be a good weekend.”
