GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • BRITTANY FORCE delivered a masterclass performance at New England Dragway, setting track records with multiple 340+ mph passes before claiming victory with a .007-second margin over Tony Stewart. Her 18th Top Fuel win ties her with legend Shirley Muldowney for most victories by a woman in the class. The emotional triumph came at the same track where her father John Force last won before his career-interrupting crash, making this dedicated victory even more meaningful as he continues his recovery from traumatic brain injury.
  • ERICA ENDERS came tantalizingly close to her milestone 50th career victory but fell to Greg Anderson in the Pro Stock final at what would have been a historic moment. Anderson’s 109th triumph kept all six season victories within his KB Titan Racing team while denying Enders the chance to join the exclusive 50-win club. The veteran champion remains stuck at 49 wins, leaving fans wondering when she’ll finally break through to that coveted half-century mark.
  • Other women made their mark throughout eliminations, with IDA ZETTERSTROM advancing to the Top Fuel quarterfinals after defeating Steve Torrence in round one, while ALEXIS DEJORIA reached the Funny Car semifinals with solid performances. The weekend showcased the depth of female talent across NHRA’s premier classes, even as the headlines belonged to Force’s record-tying achievement and Enders’ near-miss at history.

UPCOMING:

  • NHRA Summer Nationals – July 12-14
  • NHRA Sonoma Nationals – July 26-28
