GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • BRITTANY FORCE absolutely demolished the competition at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, setting a new track elapsed-time record with a blistering 3.704-second pass at 337.33 mph in her Monster Energy dragster. This wasn’t just another win—it was her 19th career Top Fuel victory, officially making her the winningest female driver in Top Fuel history and breaking Shirley Muldowney’s long-standing record. The precision of her run, combined with crew chief David Grubnic’s masterful tune-up, showed exactly why she’s been dominating this sport.
  • What makes this victory even more compelling is that it comes during FORCE’s announced farewell tour, adding serious emotional weight to every pass down the strip. She’s been crystal clear about her intentions—stepping away on her own terms after this season—but she’s not going quietly. Her team rallied around her mission to “get one more win” after she announced her retirement plans, proving that when women in motorsports decide to make history, the whole garage gets behind them.
  • FORCE demonstrated the mental toughness that separates champions from everyone else, describing how she found “this zone” in the final round despite the pressure of facing Shawn Langdon, one of the sport’s best drivers. She couldn’t even see her competition due to her car’s canopy limiting side vision, but stayed focused on her lane and let her skills do the talking. With two races left in her full-time career, she’s chasing closure on her terms—and based on this performance, she’s nowhere near done making statements.
