BRITTANY FORCE Steps Away From Full-Time Racing to Start Family After 2025

November 5, 2025

• BRITTANY FORCE announces her retirement from full-time Top Fuel competition after the 2025 season, marking the end of a 13-year career that saw her break SHIRLEY MULDOWNEY’s record to become the winningest woman in Top Fuel with 19 career victories. The two-time world champion revealed her decision comes with a desire to start a family, following her sisters who already have children.
• Despite stepping away from driving duties, FORCE emphasized her continued commitment to John Force Racing and supporting crew chiefs David Grubnic and John Collins. She confirmed efforts are underway to keep her team operational under the JFR umbrella during her absence, with more announcements expected in coming months about the team’s future structure.
• FORCE remains laser-focused on the remaining Countdown to the Championship races, including what will likely be her final full-time appearance at the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals in Pomona. Her recent 343-mph blast in Sonoma drew massive crowds, and she expressed deep gratitude to NHRA fans who have supported her journey from rookie to championship contender while leaving the door open for a potential future return.
