GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • ALEXIS DEJORIA makes a power move to John Force Racing for 2026, bringing her barrier-breaking resume to drag racing’s most successful team. As NHRA’s lone female Funny Car competitor, she’s already rewritten the record books with six event wins and that legendary 3.997-second run that shattered the three-second barrier in 2014 – proving she belongs in the nitro elite.
  • This signing puts DeJoria in prime position to chase her ultimate goal: becoming the sport’s first female Funny Car world champion. JFR’s track record speaks for itself with 24 world championships, and pairing DeJoria’s proven talent with their unmatched resources creates the perfect storm for making history in a category that’s been waiting for a female champion.
  • The 2026 four-car JFR lineup marks only the fourth time the team has fielded this many entries, previously featuring other groundbreaking women like Ashley Force Hood, Courtney Force, and Brittany Force. DeJoria’s addition continues JFR’s tradition of supporting female talent while giving her the platform she deserves to showcase why she’s earned every bit of respect in the Funny Car ranks.
