Matt Hagan and Brittany Force took advantage of cool weather conditions and a fast race track to produce national record performances Friday at the NHRA Kansas Nationals at Heartland Park Topeka.

Hagan set Funny Car national records for time and speed with his leading performance of 3.862 seconds at 335.57 mph, while Force closed out the record-setting qualifying session where many teams in both Top Fuel and Funny Car posted career-best performances, with a national record time of 3.676 seconds.

In Pro Stock, series points leader Jason Line, who has advanced to all seven final rounds this season, led qualifying in the factory hot rods with a 6.578 at 210.37.
