LAS VEGAS Reigning NHRA Funny Car champion Austin Prock got back on track Sunday at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Prock re-established his Cornwell Tools Chevrolet SS as a dominant Funny Car and became the first driver in history to win four-wide events in the NHRAs two signature categories.

The No. 2 qualifier in the west coast version of an event that originated at ZMax Dragway in Charlotte, N.C., 15 years ago, Prock posted the quickest time during eliminations at 3.964 seconds but slowed to 4.009 seconds in the final quad, reaching the stripe just ahead of No. 1 qualifier Paul Lee.

Although the reigning series champ characterized the win as ugly, he wasnt about to give it back.

This Prock Rocket aint perfect yet, he acknowledged. But its heading in the right direction and thats what we need to be proud about right now. That was an ugly win but, like I said earlier this morning, if the win light keeps coming on, I dont give a crap.

In outracing Lee, Dave Richards and Matt Hagan to the finish in the final quad, he earned a bookend for the four-wide win he secured at Charlotte in 2023 while driving a John Force Racing Top Fuel dragster.

Im so proud of this JFR team, said Prock. I just love having John Force out at the race track. It just gasses you up every time. He told me he was proud of me this week and that means a lot.
