GRRL! SUMMARY:
- BRITTANY FORCE just rewrote the physics textbook with a mind-bending 341.59 MPH run at zMAX Dragway, shattering her own Top Fuel speed record by nearly 3 MPH. The two-time world champion didn’t just edge past her previous mark—she obliterated it with the kind of authority that reminds everyone why she’s collecting records like trophies.
- The numbers tell a story of pure acceleration mastery: FORCE was already doing 301 MPH at the 660-foot mark, then somehow found another 40.59 MPH in just 340 feet. Her crew chiefs David Grubnic and John Collins have clearly cracked some kind of horsepower code, turning her HendrickCars.com dragster into a legitimate rocket ship that makes other Top Fuel cars look pedestrian.
- What makes this even sweeter? FORCE didn’t even know she’d broken the record until mid-interview with FOX, proving that breaking barriers has become so routine for this team that historic runs feel like Tuesday practice. She’s not just setting records—she’s setting a standard that’s going to have every other crew chief scrambling to figure out how they’re going to keep up.
