ANGELLE SAMPEY earns Top Fuel license with 3.68 at 337 mph

November 3, 2026

• ANGELLE SAMPEY earned her NHRA Top Fuel license Monday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, posting a 3.688 at 337.66 mph — competitive enough for a top-half qualifying spot at any current race.
• The three-time Pro Stock Motorcycle world champion completed the milestone aboard Antron Brown’s AB Motorsports Matco Tools Eagle Experience dragster after three years of methodical preparation.
• SAMPEY’s road to Top Fuel began in 2023 via Brown’s Accelerate program, starting in Top Alcohol Dragster — she reached the semis on her TAD debut at the Texas NHRA Fall Nationals.
• Despite Hall of Fame credentials and a strong fan base, SAMPEY has no funded Top Fuel ride for 2027 yet — Brown is actively seeking a marketing partner to back the deal.
• SAMPEY is set for induction into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2027, adding to a legacy built on two wheels and now expanding onto four.
