GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • BRITTANY FORCE made history at New England Dragway, capturing her first win of 2025 and tying SHIRLEY MULDOWNEY’s record for most Top Fuel victories by a female driver with 18 career wins. She defeated points leader Tony Stewart in the final with a 3.694-second pass at 340.39 mph, catching him at the finish line after he jumped to an early lead.
  • Force’s path to victory was nothing short of spectacular, including a track-record 341.42 mph blast in the semifinals that nearly matched her world record of 341.59 set last month. Her emotional dedication to her father John, who won his final race at this same track before his life-changing crash last year, added powerful context to this breakthrough performance.
  • ERICA ENDERS bounced back from early-season struggles to reach her first final round of 2025 in Pro Stock, falling to Greg Anderson’s track-record performance but moving from 14th to ninth in points. While she was denied her 50th national event win, her return to the finals signals the veteran champion is finding her rhythm again in what’s been a dominant season for KB Titan Racing.
