Antron Brown (Top Fuel), Austin Prock (Funny Car), and Jeg Coughlin Jr. will go down in drag racing history as the first to ever win a Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge in the four-wide configuration at the 
24th annual NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Las Vegas.

Brown was the class of the Top Fuel portion, beating all in a quad that included Tony Stewart, Shawn Langdon and Doug Kalitta. He drove around Kalitta and then held off Langdon, who went 3.798, to win as part of what the three-time world champ hopes is a double-up weekend.

“I felt Shawn around the side of us, and then something happened to him right around half-track, and I felt us inching and inching, and we drove just a little bit around them,” Brown said. “It's so incredible how tight this class is. When you have Doug Kalitta, the world champion, Shawn Langdon, a previous Top Fuel champion, then you got Tony Stewart in the final round, they’re all cars that can win on any given Sunday."

Prock added another accolade to his growing resume by going 3.915 at 326.95 in his Cornwell Tools Chevrolet Camaro by beating Paul Lee, Blake Alexander, and Daniel Wilkerson. A week after picking up his first Funny Car win, Prock added another significant moment in his Funny Car career in the first four-wide Mission #2Fast2Tasty race.

"To get the first four-wide win, that's pretty special,” Prock said. “I've been in a handful of these things [in Top Fuel] and never been able to get it done, but we did the job today. Yesterday wasn't terrible on the tree but wasn't really what I want it to be, and today I just have a new aim, new focus, and it worked, and I had two pretty stellar lights today."

Coughlin continues to shine in his return to full-time Pro Stock, winning for the first time in the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge with a run of 6.628 at 207.62 in his SCAG Power Equipment Camaro. Coughlin was first off the line with a .022 reaction time and, followed by a solid run to hold off a talented quad that included Troy Coughlin Jr., Aaron Stanfield, and Dallas Glenn. J. Coughlin was the lone veteran of the group but powered past the trio to claim the specialty event win.
 
“Any win is very special. But being out of the car for a couple years and getting one here in qualifying at Las Vegas feels great,” Coughlin said. "Mission Foods has done so much for NHRA Drag Racing, starting the #2Fast2Tasty Challenge last year and now the Mission Foods Drag Racing series.
 
“We had a pretty mean quad between Aaron Stanfield, myself, Dallas Glenn, and Troy Jr. We needed all the Elite Performance that I had under the hood to turn on the win light. We’ve been building some momentum the last couple of weeks. I think a lot of great things are going on and we’re just looking to game day now.”
 
Eliminations for the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals begin at 12 p.m. PT on Sunday at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
