Dallas Glenn and KB Titan Dominate Second Charlotte Countdown Race

KB Titan Racing controls the NHRA 4-Wide Carolina Nationals at Charlotte, winning the Countdown’s second round. Dallas Glenn converts pole to victory, delivering team’s 12th trophy and stretching his lead.

Margins are unforgiving. Eric Latino runs 6.544 in the GESi Chevrolet but launches late, missing advancement and slipping from third to seventh in standings. The Countdown punishes small errors.

Hartford climbs to fourth overall. Teammates Cory Reed and Cody Coughlin move to fifth and sixth after first-round wins, amplifying KB Titan’s strategic footprint across the bracket.

Greg Anderson and Glenn control their openers. Anderson posts 6.534 in the HendrickCars-backed car; Glenn answers with 6.540. The quartet for the final forms: Glenn, Anderson, Erica Enders, Aaron Stanfield.
