BRITTANY FORCE Exits Top Fuel as Winningest Female Driver in NHRA History

November 15, 2025

• BRITTANY FORCE closes out her legendary Top Fuel career at this weekend’s NHRA Finals at Pomona, leaving as the winningest female driver in NHRA history with 19 career victories. Her resume reads like a greatest hits album: two championships (2017, 2022), Rookie of the Year (2013), and she’s the first driver ever to eclipse 340 mph. That Las Vegas win cementing her record? She called it “unreal” reflecting on how far she’s traveled since that 2013 debut where she lost first round to Brandon Bernstein.
• The numbers tell the story of dominance we rarely see: 21 runner-up finishes, 319 round wins, and she reset the national speed record four times in 2025 alone. Force holds both the elapsed time record (3.623 seconds) and speed record (343.51 mph), plus 12 runs over 340 mph. She’s 48 points behind Shawn Langdon for second in points, and her team’s strategy remains unchanged: qualify top three, turn on four win lights Sunday. Simple math for a driver who’s made the complex look effortless.
• What makes this farewell even sweeter? Force could bookend her career perfectly at Pomona, the same track where she made her Top Fuel debut and scored her championship-clinching win in 2017. She’s keeping the door cracked for future driving possibilities but admits a Pomona victory would be “icing on the cake to an amazing 13-year ride.” When asked about her legacy, she hopes people remember her as “one of their favorite drivers” who inspired others. Translation: mission accomplished, and then some.
