GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • BRITTANY FORCE just made NHRA history in the most emphatic way possible, blasting to 341.85 mph at Pacific Raceways—obliterating Austin Prock’s year-old record by 0.17 mph. When you’re rewriting the record books in a sport measured in thousandths, that gap might as well be a canyon.
  • The semifinal run against Doug Kalitta wasn’t even close—Force left him in the dust with a 16.57 mph advantage and a .093-second gap that had to hurt. Four of the six fastest runs in NHRA history have happened at this sea-level track, proving that when the conditions are right, the women know exactly how to capitalize.
  • Sure, she didn’t win the finals against Shawn Langdon, but sometimes the bigger prize is making history. FORCE’s record-breaking moment reminds us that in a sport where fractions matter, she just moved the entire conversation forward—and hopefully this one sticks around longer than the previous mark’s barely-a-year reign.

UPCOMING:

  • NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series continues
  • Next Top Fuel competition dates TBA
