April 26, 2025

• BRITTANY FORCE absolutely obliterated the NHRA Top Fuel speed record at zMAX Dragway, clocking 341.59 mph and becoming the first driver to officially break the 340 mph barrier. The two-time world champion didn’t just beat her own 2022 record of 338.94 mph—she annihilated it by nearly 3 mph, pushing her 12,000-horsepower HendrickCars.com dragster faster than a commercial jet at takeoff. The emotion was raw as she processed the magnitude of what her team accomplished together.
• This wasn’t just a personal victory for BRITTANY—it was a defining moment for John Force Racing, who now holds both NHRA speed records and became the first team in history with official runs exceeding 340 mph. Her crew chiefs David Grubnic and John Collins, along with the entire team, worked tirelessly for this breakthrough moment. BRITTANY’s gratitude was evident as she credited every team member, knowing this record represents countless hours of dedication and precision engineering.
• Beyond the numbers, BRITTANY FORCE is racing for legacy—chasing the 1000th NHRA Top Fuel race victory at what she calls “the Bellagio of dragstrips.” Having already helped her team make history with the 900th Top Fuel win, she’s motivated by milestones that etch deeper into the sport’s history books. With father John Force’s 16-time championship legacy behind her, BRITTANY continues proving that the Force family name belongs at the absolute pinnacle of drag racing excellence.
