GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • BRITTANY FORCE made drag racing history AGAIN at Las Vegas, becoming the winningest female driver in Top Fuel with her 19th career victory, breaking a tie with legendary Shirley Muldowney. In her retirement season farewell to Vegas, Force dominated from pole position with a track speed record, then delivered when it counted with a 3.704-second pass at 337.33 mph to defeat Shawn Langdon in the final. Her team’s determination to secure “at least one more win” before her retirement paid off spectacularly.
  • ANGIE SMITH powered her way to the Pro Stock Motorcycle final, marking her second final round appearance this season and 11th of her career. Smith defeated Freddie Camarena, Matt Smith, and Brayden Davis to earn her shot at Gaige Herrera, ultimately finishing runner-up with a strong 6.813 at 199.37 mph. With the championship battle heating up between Herrera and Richard Gadson, Smith’s consistent performance keeps her fourth in points heading into the season finale.
  • ERICA ENDERS faced elimination in the Pro Stock quarterfinals but showcased the competitive depth we’ve come to expect, running a solid 6.615 at 207.62 before falling to Dallas Glenn. The 10-time Las Vegas winner continues her championship pursuit sitting sixth in points. Meanwhile, KAREN STOFFER made her presence felt in Pro Stock Motorcycle competition, qualifying for eliminations before meeting championship contender Gaige Herrera in the opening round, demonstrating the fierce competition these women face every weekend.
