April 26, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • BRITTANY FORCE delivered history twice, first setting a new Top Fuel speed record of 341.58 mph at Charlotte’s 4-Wide Nationals, then shattering her own mark with a jaw-dropping 343.16 mph at Sonoma. The HendrickCars.com dragster pilot now owns seven runs over 340 mph and holds the distinction of making the fastest run in Top Fuel history – twice in one season.
  • ANGIE SMITH proved family dynamics get interesting when spouses compete at the highest level, outqualifying her husband Matt for third position in Pro Stock Motorcycle at Sonoma with a 6.780 on her Denso Buell. While Matt managed 6.808, Angie’s consistency continues to showcase why she belongs among the category’s elite riders.
  • The women are making their mark across multiple events as Force reached her second final round of 2025 at Seattle, ultimately falling to Shawn Langdon but demonstrating the kind of consistency that keeps her competitive in Top Fuel’s most loaded field in years. Meanwhile, Smith’s strong qualifying performances position her as a legitimate threat heading into the sport’s Countdown to the Championship.

UPCOMING:

  • NHRA Sonoma Nationals – July 25-27
  • GETTRX Pro Stock Motorcycle All-Star Callout
