April 28, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • BRITTANY FORCE just rewrote the physics textbook at zMAX Dragway, becoming the first human ever to crack 340 MPH in Top Fuel with a jaw-dropping 341.59 MPH run. This marks her third national record in less than two years – because apparently breaking your own records is becoming a habit for the 38-year-old speed demon.
  • The technical mastery here is staggering: FORCE hit the 660-foot mark at exactly 301 MPH, then somehow convinced her 11,000-horsepower dragster to add another 40.59 MPH in just 340 feet. To put that acceleration in perspective, most of us would need a small aircraft to experience those G-forces, and she’s doing it routinely on weekends.
  • What we love most is FORCE’s immediate recognition of her crew chiefs David Grubnic and John Collins, plus her entire HendrickCars.com team. She knows this record represents countless hours of engineering brilliance and flawless execution – not just her fearless right foot. This is what championship-level respect looks like in action.

UPCOMING:

  • Next NHRA Top Fuel event TBD
  • NHRA season continues with additional nationals
