BRITTANY FORCE Makes Top Fuel History with Record-Breaking 19th Career Win

November 3, 2025

• BRITTANY FORCE just rewrote the record books in the most satisfying way possible – by beating Shawn Langdon in the final round at Las Vegas with a 3.704-second pass to claim her 19th career Top Fuel victory. That number isn’t just another win; it officially makes her the winningest female driver in Top Fuel history, breaking a tie with the legendary SHIRLEY MULDOWNEY. We’re watching history unfold as Force dominates a sport that hasn’t always made room for women at the top.
• The weekend was a masterclass in how to go out on your own terms. Force qualified No. 1 after setting a track speed record on Friday, then systematically dismantled Clay Millican and Tony Stewart before facing Langdon in the final. Her .065 reaction time and 337.33 mph speed showed exactly why she’s rewriting the history books. This is her final season racing full-time, and she’s making sure everyone remembers exactly what they’re losing.
• What makes this win even sweeter is the context – Force has been open about wanting to end her career strong, and her team has been pushing for “at least one more win” since her retirement announcement. Getting back-to-back fall wins at Las Vegas while breaking records isn’t just fulfilling that goal, it’s exceeding it in spectacular fashion. Force put it perfectly: “It’s been far too long” since her last winner’s circle moment, and now she’s created one that will be remembered forever.
