GRRL! SUMMARY:
- BRITTANY FORCE just rewrote the record books at Charlotte, becoming the first Top Fuel driver ever to crack the 340 mph barrier. She didn’t just break her own national speed record – she obliterated it, proving once again that when it comes to pure speed, she’s in a class of her own.
- The performance came with NASCAR royalty Rick Hendrick watching from the stands, as FORCE carried the Hendrick name on her dragster. Talk about delivering under pressure – she gave the NASCAR owner a front-row seat to drag racing history in his own backyard.
- While FORCE was busy making headlines with her record-breaking run, teammate Austin Prock grabbed his second straight Funny Car win and reclaimed the championship points lead. The John Force Racing squad is firing on all cylinders this season, with both drivers pushing each other to new heights.
