Qualifying: Shawn Langdon was the No. 5 qualifier at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals. His quickest qualifying attempt was his first of the weekend when he made a 3.789-second pass at 324.59 mph in the Friday evening session.
Eliminations: Langdon defeated Doug Foley and Brittany Force before losing to Justin Ashley in the semifinals. The drivers left the starting line together and were in a dead heat when the Kalitta Air 25th Anniversary dragster dropped a cylinder allowing Ashley to take the win light by .0737 seconds and advance to the final round.
When Langdon advanced to the semifinals, he earned a spot in the Mission #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge next month in Seattle. During Saturday’s qualifying sessions, the drivers who reached the semifinals in Norwalk will re-run the semifinals and final earning additional purse and championship bonus points.
Unofficial Point Standings: Langdon leaves Norwalk in second place in the NHRA Top Fuel point standings. He trails points leader Tony Stewart by 52 points and leads third-place Justin Ashley by 25 points.
Langdon on Norwalk: “It was a big race weekend with a lot of Kalitta Air employees here, which was cool to see, and a lot of our great partners were here, too. We just dropped a cylinder there in the semifinal, and it is what it is. Thanks to everyone from Kalitta Air, New Image Building Services, Dayco, SealMaster and Revchem. We’ll head to Seattle next month and try to get back in the number one spot.”
