GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • ASHLEY FORCE makes drag racing history at 21, becoming the first daughter to win alongside her father at the same NHRA event. While John Force claimed his 114th Funny Car victory at Pomona’s season finale, she dominated the Top Alcohol class – proving the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to going fast in a straight line.
  • The father-daughter sweep at Pomona Raceway marks a breakthrough moment for family dynasties in motorsport. We’ve seen racing families before, but never a simultaneous victory that showcases both generational talent and the doors opening for women in professional drag racing’s premier series.
  • This isn’t just about nepotism or feel-good stories – ASHLEY FORCE earned her spot in the winner’s circle through pure performance. Her Top Alcohol class victory demonstrates the depth of talent emerging in women’s drag racing, setting the stage for what could be a dominant Force family era across multiple NHRA categories.

UPCOMING:

  • NHRA Season Finale – Pomona Raceway
  • Top Alcohol Championship Standings
