In the final, Pedregon left first against Capps (0.022 to 0.049). With all the other championship contenders out, the final round matchup between Pedregon and Capps all but nullified any chances for Force and Todd.

This allowed Capps to extend his lead over his nearest competitors. In round one, Hagan, Force and Todd were gone. Ron Capps came in with about a one point lead over Matt Hagan, with John Force, Cruz Pedregon, and JR Todd in the hunt. In Funny Car five drivers had mathematical chances at the season championship. For Salinas, it was the pinnacle of success, as he had worked to improve his reaction skills from mediocre to consistently quick levels throughout the last three events. For Brittany, it was the agony of defeat, as she had been working very hard to improve her reaction times, only to cut a very good light and still lose to a driver cutting a better reaction time. Salinas had taken out Force in the semis, 3.703 at 324.79 mph to 3.682 at 33039 mph, making her (once again) the quickest and fastest loser of the round/event, as he beat her on a hole shot (0.027 to 0.058). In the process he all but nullified any chances for Mike Salinas and Justin Ashley in the 2021 Top Fuel Championship battle as he defeated Ashley in the semi-final round 3.688 at 329.58 mph to 3.727 at 331.69 mph and Salinas in the final round, 3.717 at 329.50 mph to 3.737 at 314.24 mph. At the end of the event, Torrence was once again the winner. Brittany Force was second by consistently being the quickest and fastest car in the category. Steve Torrence, the reigning champion (having won the last three titles in a row), came in as the point leader using strong consistent performances that included two wins in six events. In Top Fuel, four drivers (Steve Torrence, Brittany Force, Mike Salinas and Justin Ashley) had legitimate chances to win the championship.

All four of the Camping World NHRA professional categories, Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle were contested. The Dodge SRT NHRA Nationals at Las Vegas represented the sixth of the seven “Countdown to the Championship” events of the season.
