Antron Brown clinched his fourth Top Fuel world championship at the 59th annual In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals, marking his first title as a team owner. Greg Anderson secured his sixth Pro Stock championship, while Gaige Herrera claimed his second consecutive Pro Stock Motorcycle title.

Brown's victory in the Matco Tools/Toyota dragster came after defeating Justin Ashley in the first round with a 3.696s run at 331.53 mph. He advanced through the semifinals and secured the championship before winning the final against Doug Kalitta with a 3.681s pass at 330.55, marking his 80th career victory.

"This is super special. I've been dreaming about this day since I shared my vision with Don Schumacher about being a team owner," Brown said. "This team has been resilient. We never quit and we never stop."

In Pro Stock, Greg Anderson won a dramatic winner-take-all final round against teammate Dallas Glenn, running 6.501s at 211.13 in his HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro. The victory gave Anderson his sixth world championship, tying him with Erica Enders and Warren Johnson for second-most in Pro Stock history.

Gaige Herrera dominated Pro Stock Motorcycle throughout the season, securing his second straight championship after winning in the first round on Sunday. Riding the RevZilla/Mission Foods/Vance & Hines Suzuki, Herrera accumulated 10 wins this season and set an NHRA record with 21 victories in 29 events over two seasons.

Herrera's impressive 2024 campaign included winning the first six races of the season and setting an all-time NHRA record with 11 straight wins and 46 consecutive round wins. His two-year record stands at an remarkable 100-8.

"I think the first round for the championship was the most nervous I've ever been," Herrera said. "It's what you dream about as a little kid, but win or lose, I still love this sport."
