PRO STOCK RISING STAR CORY REED LOOKS FOR SUCCESS AT NHRA 4-WIDE NATIONALS IN VEGAS
LAS VEGAS (April 10, 2025) – Cory Reed made the switch to Pro Stock car from Pro Stock Motorcycle last season and this weekend at the 25th annual NHRA 4-Wide Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, he’ll have his first go at four-wide racing in the Pro Stock category.
After competing for several years in the Pro Stock Motorcycle ranks, Reed joined the KB Titan Racing powerhouse team, where he drives the J&A Service Chevrolet Camaro. This weekend will be his first four-wide race in a Pro Stock car, and also his first four-wide race in four years. The wildest spectacle in racing presents a challenge, but Reed is confident he’ll be ready.
“My last four-wide format race was in 2021 on my Pro Stock Motorcycle, so it’s been a few years, but I think it’ll be easy to get right back into it,” Reed said. “Of course, there’s a lot more that goes into racing Pro Stock than motorcycles so I think the first few runs will just be making sure I do my regular routine and doing my job as a driver.”
Last season, Doug Kalitta (Top Fuel), Bob Tasca III (Funny Car) and Jeg Coughlin Jr. (Pro Stock) claimed four-wide victories at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This season’s event will again be broadcasted on FS1, including eliminations coverage starting at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, April 13. It is the fourth of 20 races during the 2025 campaign and the first of two straight four-wide races.
So far in 2025, Reed has two semifinal appearances, including two weeks ago at the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals in Pomona. He advanced to the semifinals where he met his teammate and reigning Pro Stock champion Greg Anderson, who has dominated thus far in 2025 and has won the last two races.
This semifinal finish will slot Reed into the Mission #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge. In the four-wide format, he will take be matched with Anderson, five-time champion Jeg Coughlin and Brandon Foster. The other quad will be made up of Gainesville winner Dallas Glenn, Matt Hartford, Deric Kramer and rookie Matt Latino.
Reed has rounded into form quickly in the loaded Pro Stock category and the early success, especially this season, has paid dividends.
“Going rounds so early in my Pro Stock career definitely boosts my confidence,” said Reed. “We’ve had a really good start to our year and I really believe that the first win is right around the corner. We just need to stay the course. I’ve got all I need with KB Titan power and being able to rely on so many talented drivers under our KB Titan umbrella.” |
